The results of the study show 1) there is a positive and significant influence on the variation of whatsapp group learning media on learning motivation. This is indicated by Y = 6.666 + 0.845X, meaning that if the variation of learning media in WhatsApp increases by 1 point, there will be an increase in learning motivation of 0.845. Judging from the f test, F_count is 610,424 > F_table in numerator 1 and denominator 31 at 4.16. Or it can be seen that significant > 0.05 is 0.000 < 0.05. This means that Ho is rejected and Ha is accepted. 2) Variables of learning media variation in whatsapp group contributed 90.3% to learning motivation.
