The Correlation Between Self-Efficacy and Learning Motivation in 11th Grade of Senior High School Hubungan Antara Efikasi Diri dengan Motivasi Belajar pada Siswa Kelas XI Sekolah Menengah Atas

Abstract

This study investigates the correlation between self-efficacy and learning motivation among 11th grade students at SMA Trimurti Surabaya, Indonesia. With the disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, online learning has been implemented to mitigate the spread. A sample of 86 students from a population of 110 was selected for this quantitative research, using Likert-scale self-efficacy and learning motivation scales for data collection. The analysis revealed a positive correlation between self-efficacy and learning motivation (rxy=0.334, p<0.05). The coefficient determination showed that self-efficacy accounts for 11.1% of the variation in learning motivation, while other factors contribute to the remaining 88.9%. These findings imply that students with higher self-efficacy tend to exhibit higher learning motivation. The study highlights the significance of self-efficacy as a potential factor to consider when promoting student motivation in online learning environments, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic.
