A. Introduction
This study was to investigate the phenomenon of the students motivation to
study among stundents in sixth semester of elementary school teacher departement A-

2 and A-3 in muhammadiyah university sidoarjo. This project was focused on

motivation and the rusult of study.
The purpose this research is give explanantion about motivation especially
how the student get good score in their study or the spirit of study. Motivation is
overall good momentum it from outside and within the students by creating a series of
efforts to prepare for certain conditions that lead to learning activities so that the goal
can be achieved. Infants and young children appear to be propelled by curiosity,
driven by an intense need to explore, interact with, and make sense of their
environment. As one author puts it, "Rarely does one hear parents complain that their
pre-schooler is 'unmotivated' " (James Raffini 1993).
According to Jere Brophy (1987), motivation to learn is a competence
acquired "through general experience but stimulated most directly through modeling,
communication of expectations, and direct instruction or socialization by significant
others (especially parents and teachers)."
Motivation is important in determining how many students will be learning
from a learning activity or how much to absorb the information presented to them.
Students are motivated to learn something will use higher cognitive processes in
learning the material, so that students will absorb and precipitate the material was
better
Student motivation naturally has to do with students' desire to participate in
the learning process. But it also concerns the reasons or goals that underlie their
involvement or noninvolvement in academic activities. Although students may be
equally motivated to perform a task, the sources of their motivation may differ.
There are two factor that influence students motivation to learn, they are such as:
1. Internal factor
include fascination with the subject, a sense of its relevance to life and
the world, a sense of accomplishment in mastering it, and a sense of calling to
it. Motivation that become active or function they do not need to be stimulated
from the outside, because inside every individual do not urge to do something.
Some definitions of motivation that has been described referring to factors
personal, necessary , interests, curiosity, and pleasure.
There are any two types of internal motivation:
a. Self Determination

In this case, the students want to believe that they are doing something
for their own desire and not only of the success or external rewards. Here, the
internal motivation and the interesting in school work increase ,if students
have a choice and an opportunity to take personal responsibility over their
learning.
b. Personal Selection
This optimal experience is a feeling pleasure and happy were great.
The most optimal experience occurs when people feel able to master and fully
concentrate when performing an activity. This optimal experience occurs when
individuals involved in the challenges that they think is not too hard but not
too easy.
2. External Factor
External factor that influence by enviroment. There are such as gifts,
praise, social pressure, or punishment. Beside that, the influence of the outside
individual of person happened because the condition of the student dynamic
changing and also possibly other components in the learning process is
nothing less attractive to students. So that, students do not get excited in the
process of teaching and learning both at school and at home. Furthermore,
each students does not the same level of learning motivation, the extrinsic
motivation is necessary and can be administered . in learning activities both
intrinsic and extrinsic motivation is needed. With motivation, students can
develop activities and initiatives so as to steer and maintain harmony in
learning activities.
