The collected data was analyzed with descriptive statistics, then supported by the answers to open-ended questions from the students. The findings showed that the average self-efficacy is 3.38, active learning strategies is 3.83, science learning value is 3.68, performance goal is 2.9, achievement goal is 3.69, and learning environment stimulation is 3.39. The total average is 3.52, which means the students in Junior High School are categorized as having a high level of motivation in science learning. Based on the students' answers to open-ended questions, they are motivated to learn science because science is fun and interesting to learn, and teachers are able to provide experiences from experiments. Meanwhile, students who are not motivated to learn science because science is a complex subject and difficult to understand, and teachers who give a lot of assignments without experimentation]]>
