Abstract

Learning motivation is an important factor in determining students’ learning performance at school. During the pandemic, the learning process changed its form from offline learning to online learning. This change caused a lot of problems with students’ learning motivation. There are groups of students who have never met any of their schoolmates and their teachers at all due to the online learning policy. This condition can impact greatly on their learning motivation. The objective of this research is to find out whether or not the fulfillment of basic psychological needs relates to students’ learning motivation at school. The participants of this research are 133 eleventh grade students from “x” High School. The data were collected through an online questionnaire. The result shows that there’s a positive relation between the fulfillment of basic psychological needs and learning motivation, with correlation value of r=0.371 (p=0.000), which means the more the psychological needs of students are fulfilled, the more motivated they are to learn. Aside from that, there’s also been found an association between academic motivation with other factors such as learning spirit source, things the students liked about school, and their confidence in their ability to learn.
