Motivation can be defined as the drive to do something, or as the needs, desires, and urges that drive individuals to act. In the context of education, motivation plays a role as an important psychological process in determining the extent to which students strive to achieve learning goals. At the end of each learning unit, students take a test to measure their progress towards these goals, and the results are known as learning achievement. This study focuses on the relationship between students' learning motivation and their academic performance, especially in science lessons at SD Negeri Wanajaya 03. The results of the analysis show that students' enthusiasm or motivation to learn has a direct correlation with learning achievement in class. In general, the higher the students' intrinsic drive, the better the academic performance shown. This finding emphasizes the importance of learning strategies that can improve student motivation in a sustainable manner.
