Abstract

The purpose of this study is to describe the role of teachers in increasing students' learning motivation, the constraints experienced by teachers in increasing students' learning motivation and the solutions carried out by teachers in increasing students' learning motivation. Researchers raised this title because many students at SMA Muhammadiyah Special Program Sambi have learning motivation with up and down rhythms due to the influence of the environment, peers, and personal character.
