Abstract

Learning motivation is an impulse that causes representatives to achieve something as it is and to achieve certain goals. Learning motivation is important for students and provides many benefits. However, not all learning activities get good motivation from students. Especially for mathematics lessons that have gained an image as a boring and difficult subject. For this reason, this research was conducted with the aim of knowing the causes of low student motivation in mathematics in class V at SDN Tegalsawah II and how teachers motivate students in mathematics in that class. The results showed that students' motivation that was still very lacking in mathematics could be caused by several factors. One of the causes is learning activities that are more teacher-centered and also several other causes. Then it was found that there are 6 efforts that can be made to increase the learning motivation, namely conducive Class Conditioning; Using Various Learning Methods; Involving Students in Learning; Creating a Fun Learning Atmosphere; Giving Reward and Punishment to Students; and Use of Learning Media.
