This study aims to determine the influence of social media usage on the history learning motivation of Grade X students at SMK Taman Siswa Bekasi. The background of this research is based on the high intensity of social media usage among students; however, its utilization as a learning support tool remains suboptimal, which is suspected to affect students' learning motivation in history subjects. This study employs a quantitative approach using a simple linear regression method. The population consists of Grade X students at SMK Taman Siswa Bekasi, with a sample size of 30 respondents. Data collection was conducted through questionnaires. Data analysis was performed using simple linear regression, Pearson correlation, coefficient of determination, and t-test to examine the research hypothesis. The results indicate a positive and significant influence of social media usage on students' history learning motivation. This is evidenced by the regression equation Y = 0.776 + 0.983X. The Pearson correlation test result shows an r-value of 0.977, which falls into the category of a very strong relationship. The coefficient of determination indicates that social media usage contributes 95.5% to students' history learning motivation, while the remaining 4.5% is influenced by factors outside the scope of this study. Furthermore, the t-test results show a t-count of 24.391 > t-table of 2.048, leading to the acceptance of the alternative hypothesis (Ha) and the rejection of the null hypothesis (H0).Based on these findings, it can be concluded that social media usage has a positive and significant influence on the history learning motivation of Grade X students at SMK Taman Siswa Bekasi. Thus, social media can be utilized wisely as a learning support tool to enhance students' learning motivation.
