<![CDATA[Motivation serves as the driving force that propels individuals toward the achievement of specific goals. Preliminary observations at elementary schools in Maybrat Regency, Southwest Papua, revealed that a number of students demonstrated insufficient learning motivation. This study aims to investigate whether the school environment exerts a significant influence on the learning motivation of Grade IV students at SD YPPK St. Petrus Ayawasi, Maybrat Regency. A quantitative approach employing a pre-experimental design was utilized, with a total population and sample of 20 Grade IV students selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through questionnaires, observation, and documentation. Prior to hypothesis testing, prerequisite analyses were conducted, including a normality test using the one-sample Kolmogorov-Smirnov technique and a linearity test. Hypothesis testing was performed using simple linear regression analysis at a significance level of 5%. The results revealed a significant influence of the school environment on students' learning motivation, as indicated by a correlation coefficient (R) of 0.685 and a coefficient of determination (R²) of 0.469, signifying that 46.9% of the variance in learning motivation is attributable to the school environment, while the remaining 53.1% is influenced by other variables not examined in this study. The findings underscore the critical importance of creating conducive school environments to foster and sustain student learning motivation.]]>
