The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between learning motivation and learning outcomes on mathematics subjects in XII science class senior high school 4 Bone. The subjects in this study were 30 students of XII science class senior high school 4 Bone. The sampling technique in this research is cluster random sampling. The method used in this study is a quantitative method using a scale of learning motivation scale and results of semester exams in mathematics. The data analysis technique used in this study is a product-moment correlation. Based on the results of data analysis obtained correlation coefficient (r) of 0.41 and a significance of 0.02 (p < 0.05), which means there is a positive relationship between learning motivation with learning outcomes in mathematics subjects in XII science class senior high school 4 Bone. The subjects in this study were 30 students of XII science class senior high school 4 Bone, high motivation to learn to make grades and predicate mathematics learning outcomes become high. This study provides an overview of learning motivation with student learning outcomes, especially on learning motivation that can affect learning outcomes in students' mathematics subjects. Keywords: correlation, learning motivation, mathematics learning outcomes, education, students INTRODUCTION Education is a very important requirement for humans because it is able to achieve progress in various fields of life, especially in the context of improving the quality of Human Resources (HR) . This was done to educate the nation's life in accordance with the objectives of National Education. Considering the importance of education in this globalization era, the government pays great attention to creating quality education, so as to create quality human resources as well. This is indicated by the government's efforts to increase the frequency of training and increase teacher competence, procurement of books and learning tools, improvement of educational infrastructure, and improve the quality of school management. Through these efforts, it is hoped that a better teaching and learning process will occur which will ultimately lead to an increase in learning outcomes. Teaching and learning activities are a core activity, to achieve educational goals. The purpose of education will be achieved in the form of behavior in students, and it has become the hope of all Citation: Nugraha, D. Y., Nugraha, D., & Widyastuti. (2021) .
