This study aims to analyze students’ learning motivation from a holistic perspective at Madrasah Aliyah Nurul Islam by examining the interconnection of academic, spiritual, emotional, and social aspects. This research employs a case study method with a qualitative descriptive approach. Data were collected through observation, interviews with teachers and students, and documentation of learning and religious activities at the madrasah. The findings indicate that students’ learning motivation is influenced by a combination of internal and external factors. Internal factors include learning interest, self-confidence, academic goals, emotional stability, and spiritual awareness. External factors encompass teachers’ roles, parental support, classroom climate, the madrasah’s religious culture, and peer influence.

This study concludes that a holistic educational approach plays a strategic role in enhancing students’ learning motivation in madrasah settings.
