<![CDATA[This research is motivated by the low learning motivation of students in IPAS learning in Grade V at SDN 41 Sungai Raya, as indicated by the lack of student activeness in asking and answering questions, low attention during the learning process, and lack of perseverance in completing assignments. This study aims to describe the role of learning motivation in IPAS learning, including its role in determining learning reinforcement, clarifying learning objectives, and determining students’ learning persistence. This study employed a qualitative approach with a descriptive research design. The data sources consisted of teachers and Grade V students at SDN 41 Sungai Raya. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and open questionnaires.
