<![CDATA[This study aims to analyze the relationship between single-parent families and students' learning motivation, particularly in the context of SMP Kristen Daruba. The research employs a descriptive qualitative approach to understand the dynamics of single-parent family relationships and their influence on students' learning motivation through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation. The respondents consist of two students, a single mother, and a homeroom teacher. The findings indicate that single-parent families influence students' learning motivation through various aspects, such as parental involvement, emotional support, and the psychological condition of the students. Children from single-parent families often face emotional and financial challenges that affect their concentration on learning. However, consistent parental attention, albeit limited, can encourage students to remain motivated in their studies. Moreover, support from teachers and the school environment plays a crucial role in helping students overcome the obstacles they face. Factors supporting students' learning motivation in single-parent families include parental attention to their children's education, aspirations to achieve their goals, and social support from teachers and peers. Conversely, inhibiting factors include economic limitations, limited time, and a lack of communication between parents and children. The study concludes that active involvement of single parents and strong social support can enhance students' learning motivation. It recommends further research to explore the role of educational and social interventions in supporting children from single-parent families.]]>
