something so as to achieve the result or purpose. Learning motivation is a complex statement in an organism that leads to behaviour towards

change in ones personal energy characterised by the onset of the reaction and effective to achieve the objective. Someone who has the
motivation in his studies will spur him to grab it and manifest what you want.
Sardiman, A.M 2010: 75 reveals that Learning Motivation is the non-intellectual psychic factors. Its typical roles are growing in
terms of passion, feeling and passion for learning . Someone must have the Learning motivation of in him in order to obtain a desired
result. In addition, Dra. Eveline Siregar and Hartini Nara 2011: 49

From some of the Learning Motivation definition, then, it can be inferred that the motivation of learning is the whole impulse within
the students push or move the individual to perform the activities of learning, so that students not only learn but also appreciate and enjoy
their learning.
b. Functions of the Learning Motivation
Motivation of Learning is the whole impulse within the students that push or move the individual to conduct learning
activities. In addition, the Motivation has several functions. The following three functions of Learning Motivation according to Ngalim
Purwanto 2007: 70 is: 1 Encourage men to doact.
It serves as an Activator or a motor that delivers energy power to someone to perform a task.
2 Determines the direction of works. It leads towards the embodiment of a goal or dreams. The
motivation is preventing abuses of the road that must be travelled to reach that goal. The clearer the purpose of it, then the clearer
the path lies that should be travelled.
3 Selection of works. I.e. specify acts which must be done, matching, in order to
achieve the goal by excluding deed which is not useful for the purpose.
According to Oemar Hamalik 2008: 161 function Learning Motivation is as follows:
1 Encourages the onset of an act or behaviour. Without motivation will not arise as the Act of learning.
2 As an influence, it means directing the deed on the achievement of the desired goals.
3 As the driving force. He will serve as the engine for the car. The magnitude of the motivation will determine the quick or the
slowness of a job.
From both opinion it is clear that the Motivation of Learning is not only important as a factor that causes learning, but also maximize
the results of the study. The results of the study will be maximal if there is Motivation to learn. The higher Motivation of Learning
belonging the more maximum gained learning results obtained by students.
