<![CDATA[The motivation to learn in this study was based on findings in the second grade of Kelapa Lima Public Elementary School, namely low enthusiasm and involvement of students during learning. Some students lacked focus when listening to the teacher's explanations, did not participate, and did not show consistent interest in learning. These conditions necessitated the application of a learning strategy in the form of giving Achievement Stars as rewards to increase learning motivation. The method applied in this study was Classroom Action Research, which combined qualitative and quantitative approaches involving 25 students. Data was obtained by observing student activities, documenting learning outcomes, and interviewing teachers. Achievement stars were given ten times as a form of positive reinforcement to encourage student activity and sincerity. The results of the study showed a significant increase in motivation and learning achievement. The percentage of learning completeness in the pre-cycle stage was only 40%, which was categorized as very low. After the intervention, there was a gradual increase to 88% in the tenth cycle, which was categorized as very good. The results of this study indicate that awarding achievement stars can help teachers increase learning enthusiasm and improve the quality of the learning process in a sustainable manner.]]>
