Abstract

Motivation really determines student success in learning. Motivation consists of internal motivation caused by internal factors and external motivation caused by external factors. Along with the development of technology, e-learning has developed into one mode of learning, in addition to face-to-face learning that has been running for a long time. Specifically for learning from home policies due to the covid-19 pandemic, e-learning is really the main learning mode because students cannot face-to-face with their lecturers in class. In fact, learning through e-learning has not become a students learning habit in general. As a result, students motivation in learning through e-learning is still questionable. For this purpose, the survey research was conducted by distributing motivational questionnaires to students, which consisted of two dimensions, namely the internal and external dimensions. The questionnaire was distributed in three time periods with intervals of three weeks between periods. Data were analyzed using profile analysis. The analysis found that the internal dimensions and external dimensions of student motivation tend to be parallel. In parallel conditions, internal dimensions tend to be higher than external dimensions. The time period affects the development of student learning motivation, both for internal and external dimensions. These three findings lead to the conclusion that student motivation to learn through e-learning develops over time. Habitual factors influence the development of motivation, which internal factors have greater influence compared to external factors. Independent learning activities that are dominant in e-learning tend to encourage the growth of internal motivation which is very useful in the process of lifelong learning, both to support careers and to live in the community.
