The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of student perceptions of the PPG program and the teaching profession on interest in becoming a teacher in students of mathematics education at the University of Palangka Raya. This research is a causal associative study conducted in the Mathematics Education Study Program, FKIP UPR. The research instrument used was a questionnaire. The classical assumption tests are: normality test with Kolmogorov Smirnov, multicollinearity test with variance inflation factor (VIF) and heteroscedasticity test using scatter plot method. Data analysis used linear regression, namely t test, F test and R-Square (coefficient of determination) with Minitab 16 application. The results showed that; (1) there is a positive and significant effect between the perception of mathematics students about the PPG program and their interest in becoming a teacher, with a regression coefficient of 0.0495 and a value of > (6.50 > 1.99) and p-value = 0.000 <0.05. (2) there is no significant positive effect between student perceptions of the teaching profession on interest in becoming a teacher, with a regression coefficient of 0.0495 and a value of > (1.04 > 1.66) and p-value = 0.299 > 0.05. (3) there is a significant positive effect on the perception of mathematics students towards the PPG program and the teaching profession on interest in becoming a teacher, the value of > (35.62 > 3.09) and p-value = 0.000 <0.05. (4) The R-Square value of 0.404 or 40.4% means that the influence given by the combination of perceptions of mathematics students about the PPG program and the teaching profession on interest in becoming a teacher is 40.4% while the remaining 59.6% is influenced by other variables.
