INFLUENCE OF PEER SOCIAL SUPPORT ON THE LEARNING MOTIVATION OF 2ND SEMESTER STUDENTS AT AL QOLAM UNIVERSITY

Abstract

Character and behavior are significantly shaped by one's surroundings. According to
numerous studies, a person will benefit from being in a supportive setting. Because of that, a
lot of people choose their friends and social circles carefully. This is the basis for the authors
to conduct research to show the influence of the friend environment, especially peers. The
goal of Al Qolam University's research is to determine whether or not student learning
motivation is impacted by the peer environment. Punctuality, discipline, and learning
perseverance are the metrics used to assess students' motivation for learning. Active
participants in the TBIG study program at Al Qolam University Malang made up the study's
population. 32 students made up the total number of samples collected for the study. In
order to gather data for this study, questionnaires were distributed as part of the quantitative
research approach. Furthermore, the data were processed using SPSS 16. The author's first
premise for this study is that Ha should be accepted and H0 should be denied. This indicates
that variable y, or student learning motivation, is influenced by variable x, or peer social
support. The findings demonstrated that peer social support has a significant impact on
learning motivation, with a significance value of 0,834 (p>0,05). It is evident from the
study's findings that student learning motivation is influenced by the peer environment.
