Impact of Family Economic Condition On Students Learning Motivation At SMP Taman Siswa Kemayoran

Abstract

Economic conditions in the family greatly influence students' learning motivation. Students who have families with relatively high economic conditions usually have high motivation to study, because they don't need to think about costs and get adequate facilities. Meanwhile, students who have families with relatively low economic conditions have low motivation to learn, because they are burdened with a lack of funds to facilitate students' education. Students who come from lower middle class families only have one learning source, while students who come from upper middle class families have more than one learning source. The aim of this research is to determine the influence of family economic conditions on student learning motivation at Taman Siswa Kemayoran Middle School. This research uses quantitative research methods which have a research location at Taman Siswa Kemayoran Middle School. The sample for this research is 35 students in class VIII of Taman Siswa Kemayoran Middle School for the 2023/2024 academic year.
