Abstract

In this study, the population consisted of 70 individuals, and the sample included 58 students from grades VII, VIII, and IX of Muhammadiyah 12 Perumnas Makassar Junior High School, selected using stratified random sampling. Data were collected through a questionnaire on learning motivation filled out by students and daily Arabic language exam scores, which represented students' Arabic language learning achievement. The results of the inferential statistical analysis using Pearson Product Moment correlation showed that the obtained r-value (0.543) was greater than the r-table (0.254), indicating a moderate positive correlation. The significance value obtained was 0.000, which is less than 0.05. This suggests that there is a significant relationship between learning motivation and Arabic language learning achievement among students at Muhammadiyah 12 Perumnas Makassar Junior High School.
