The influence of learning motivation and independence on students' mathematics learning outcomes in SMA UNP laboratory development.

This ex post facto study aimed to describe the impact of motivation and independence of learning on students' mathematics learning outcomes. The research sample consisted of 49 students of SMA UNP Laboratory Development, who were selected purposively. The research data was collected through the provision of motivation and learning independence questionnaires and mathematics tests. A multiple linear regression test was conducted to analyze the collected data. The result indicates that learning motivation and learning independence have on students' outcomes in mathematics, either individually or together. Of all students with high learning motivation, only 20% of students have high mathematics learning outcomes, meanwhile for students with low learning motivation, only 4% of students whose mathematics learning outcomes are low. The same thing is also found for the impact of learning independence on students' achievement in mathematics. One of the factors that influenced this finding was the lack of control from the researcher when students filled out questionnaires and took tests because all data collection processes were carried out online.
