Abstract

This study aims to describe the level of student learning motivation in Physical Education lessons at SD Negeri 2 Keposong and to examine the tendencies of intrinsic and extrinsic motivation among students. This study is based on the hypothesis that students have a high level of motivation to learn Physical Education. The research method used was a descriptive quantitative approach with a survey method. The study subjects included all 27 fourth and fifth grade students at SD Negeri 2 Keposong, selected using a total sampling technique due to the relatively small population size. Data collection was conducted using a learning motivation questionnaire structured around two main aspects: intrinsic motivation and extrinsic motivation, using a five-level Likert scale. Furthermore, field observations were conducted to provide empirical context for student learning behavior during the Physical Education learning process. The data obtained were analyzed using descriptive statistics in percentage form to objectively illustrate the distribution of student learning motivation levels. The results showed that students' level of motivation to learn Physical Education was in the very high category, with an average score of 90.59. The distribution of student responses was dominated by strongly agree categories at 61.48% and agree at 30.37%, while neutral responses were at 7.96%. Negative responses were almost non-existent, with strongly disagree categories at only 0.19% and disagree at 0%. These findings indicate that students generally have positive attitudes, high interest, and readiness to actively participate in Physical Education learning. The implications of this study emphasize the importance of maintaining and managing learning motivation that has reached a very high category through the implementation of varied, contextual learning strategies that are appropriate to the developmental characteristics of elementary school students.
