Abstract:

This study investigates the strategies for optimizing learning by enhancing students’ motivation at Madrasah Aliyah Manba’ul Ulum, Asshidiqiyah 06 Islamic Boarding School in Serpong. Motivation is a crucial factor that influences students’ learning outcomes, engagement, and academic success. The research highlights the need to develop and implement effective approaches to enhance student motivation in an Islamic boarding school setting. The study aims to identify key motivational factors, strategies employed by teachers, and the overall impact of these strategies on students’ academic performance. The research adopts a mixed-methods approach, combining qualitative and quantitative research methods. Data were collected through surveys, interviews, and classroom observations to comprehensively understand the school’s motivational climate. The sample consists of students, teachers, and school administrators, who provide insights into student motivation and the strategies to enhance it. The study identifies several intrinsic and extrinsic motivational strategies that can significantly improve students’ engagement in learning. These include goal-setting, providing constructive feedback, creating a supportive and stimulating learning environment, and fostering a sense of belonging among students. Teachers are encouraged to recognize the unique needs of each student and tailor their approach accordingly, allowing for more personalized and effective learning experiences.
