Analisis Motivasi Belajar Intrinsik Terhadap Persepsi Indeks Prestasi Kumulatif Mahasiswa Program Studi Ilmu Keperawatan Universitas Abulyatama

Learning motivation can be divided into two types, namely intrinsic and extrinsic motivation. Intrinsic motivation comes from within the student's personality which can encourage them to take learning actions. Intrinsic motivation arises based on awareness of certain goals, not just attributes or ceremonies. The findings indicated that the level of intrinsic motivation of the nursing students at Abulyatama University was still low. The low level of motivation led to learning outcomes obtained that were not optimal.  Hence, it was shown that the better the students’ perception regarding intrinsic motivation, the higher their GPA. In other words, their GPA was significantly influenced by their perception about the importance of having intrinsic motivation. This quantitative study was conducted by using a descriptive-correlational method and a cross-sectional design. The population of this study covered 269 nursing students at Abulyatama University. Out of this population, 65 students with GPA < 2.75 were chosen as the samples.  The results of statistical tests using the chi-square tes obtained a value of p=0,032, which means there is a relationship between learning motivation and perception instudents of the nurrsing science study program at Abulyatama University.
