This study uses a correlational study approach because it connects two variables, namely two independent variables in the form of learning motivation and the dependent variable in the form of biology learning outcomes of students. The technique used in sampling is purposive proportional random sampling, by determining the proportion according to the number of students in the school being studied. In this study, Pearson Product Moment using for conversion score analysis, score distribution, normality tests, and correlation analysis. This correlation analysis aims to determine the relationship between learning motivation and learning outcomes of biology. Furthermore, to see whether or not there is meaning in the research, the t-test is used and to see the contribution between the two variables using the coefficient determinant formula. The results show that there is a positive and meaningful relationship between learning motivation and learning outcomes of students in class X MIPA SMAN in Padang City with the value of t count are 7.603, at the level of confidence 95% with db = 285, greater than t table which is 1.650.

The educational process is an effort to develop the potential of students to the maximum according to their talents and interests, both formally and informally. Students get knowledge from various kinds of things they learn in school. Teachers have an important role in improving the quality of education. As good educators, teachers have in-depth knowledge and understanding of the material to be taught. The teacher seems to be able to develop the curriculum if the teacher is able to make a syllabus that is in accordance with the curriculum and can make plans to carry out learning according to students to achieve learning objectives (Kartini et al., (2019). Students who have high achievements have good knowledge. The problem that is often faced in the learning process is the low learning outcomes obtained by students. Many factors influence the success of a person in learning, influence it is motivation. According to Harahap et al. (2021), motivation serves as a driver of effort in achieving achievements because a person doing business must encourage his desire and determine the direction of his actions towards the goal to be achieved. Thus students can select actions to determine what to do that serves the goals they want to achieve. Learning outcomes will be optimal if accompanied by motivation at denvy. The more precise the motivation is given, the more successful the learning will be. Students who have inner motivation to
