<![CDATA[The main problem of the study was how the internal factors (self concept of mathematics and learning motivation), external factors (parents’ guiding pattern and learning facility), mathematics learning achievement and interrelationship of those factors toward mathematics learning achievement of the tenth year students of public senior secondary school (SMA Negeri) in Makassar.The population of the research was the tenth year students of SMA Negeri in Makassar. The data was collected through 348 samples which were selected by stratified random sampling. Democratic scoring scale, learning facility, mathematics self concept, mathematics learning motivation, and structured-mathematics learning outcome test were used as instruments of the research. The procedureof analysis data was initially by validation test and instrument reliability by confirmatory factor analysis, followed by model verification through structural model of final stage. Finally, it was done a variable mediation analysis toward structural model of final stage.The result of the research showed that mathematics self concept of the tenth year students of SMA Negeri in Makassar was in medium category (26.17) while mathematics learning motivation of the tenth year students of SMA Negeri in Makassarwas in high category (47.34). Democratic guiding pattern of the tenth year students of SMA Negeri in Makassar was in good category (53.58) while learning facility of the tenth year students of SMA Negeri in Makassar was in very complete category. Mathematics learning outcome of the tenth year students of SMA Negeri was in low category. The result of the research supported the need of an aplicative model which describes the interrelationship of internal and external factor in explaining the students’ mathematics learning outcomes.]]>
