HUBUNGAN ANTARA MINAT BELAJAR DAN HASIL BELAJAR IPA SISWA KELAS VII DI SMP NEGERI 6 SIAK HULU

Abstrak

Minat belajar merupakan salah satu faktor yang diduga memengaruhi hasil belajar siswa. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis hubungan antara minat belajar dan hasil belajar IPA siswa kelas VII SMP Negeri 6 Siak Hulu. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif dengan desain korelasional. Sampel penelitian berjumlah 27 siswa yang dipilih menggunakan teknik total sampling. Data minat belajar dikumpulkan melalui angket Skala Likert, sedangkan data hasil belajar diperoleh dari dokumentasi nilai IPA. Analisis data dilakukan secara deskriptif dan inferensial menggunakan uji korelasi Pearson Product Moment. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa minat belajar siswa berada pada kategori sangat baik, sedangkan hasil belajar didominasi kategori tinggi, yaitu sebanyak 22 siswa (81,48%). Hasil uji korelasi menunjukkan koefisien korelasi sebesar r = 0,124 dengan nilai signifikansi p = 0,539 (p > 0,05), sehingga terdapat hubungan positif yang sangat rendah dan tidak signifikan antara minat belajar dan hasil belajar IPA. Dengan demikian, minat belajar tidak berhubungan secara signifikan dengan hasil belajar IPA siswa kelas VII SMP Negeri 6 Siak Hulu, sehingga hasil belajar diduga lebih dipengaruhi oleh faktor-faktor lain di luar minat belajar.

Learning interest is one of the factors presumed to influence students' learning outcomes. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between learning interest and science learning outcomes among seventh-grade students at SMP Negeri 6 Siak Hulu. The study employed a quantitative approach with a correlational research design. The sample consisted of 27 students selected using the total sampling technique. Data on learning interest were collected through a Likert-scale questionnaire, while data on science learning outcomes were obtained from students' science achievement records. The data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics through the Pearson Product Moment correlation test. The results indicated that students' learning interest was in the very good category, while science learning outcomes were predominantly in the high category, with 22 students (81.48%) achieving high scores. The correlation analysis yielded a correlation coefficient of r = 0.124 with a significance value of p = 0.539 (p > 0.05), indicating a very weak positive and statistically insignificant relationship between learning interest and science learning outcomes. Therefore, learning interest was not significantly associated with science learning outcomes among seventh-grade students at SMP Negeri 6 Siak Hulu, suggesting that science learning outcomes may be influenced by factors other than learning interest
