A study of attitude and interest in the student’s lessons

Abstract

The researcher aims to examine student attitudes, interests and learning outcomes considering that students’ attitudes and interests are in line with and affect student learning outcomes, especially in science lessons. The research method was in the form of mixed methods with explanatory design. The results of the t-test are of students’ interest in learning, student attitudes and student learning outcomes in the science subjects of classes VII A and VII B. Subsequently, there are differences in students’ interest in learning in both classes; there are differences in students’ attitudes in both classes; and student learning outcomes indicate that there are differences in learning outcomes in both classes. The results of the regression test of students’ interest in learning, students’ attitudes and student learning outcomes in the science subjects of classes VII A and VII B conclude that there is an influence between students’ interest in learning, students’ attitudes and student learning outcomes in science subjects. The novelty of this research lies in the variables used in this study, namely three variables that were studied directly consisting of students’ interests, attitudes and science learning outcomes. The implications of this research function as a reference for teachers and students in improving students’ science learning outcomes.
