Abstract: This study analyzes students' learning motivation in mathematics education using a qualitative approach. Data were collected through open-ended questionnaires, observations, and in-depth interviews. The results show that students' motivation to learn mathematics is relatively low, influenced by a lack of interest in the subject, difficulties in understanding mathematical concepts, and limited external support from family and school. As a result, students feel less confident and are less motivated to exert effort. Therefore, it is recommended to implement interactive teaching methods, enhance support from educators and parents, and develop programs that make mathematics learning more engaging and meaningful. Abstrak Penelitian ini menganalisis motivasi belajar siswa terhadap pembelajaran matematika dengan pendekatan kualitatif. Teknik pengumpulan data yang digunakan adalah angket terbuka, observasi, dan wawancara mendalam. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa motivasi belajar matematika siswa tergolong rendah, dipengaruhi oleh kurangnya minat terhadap materi, kesulitan dalam memahami konsep matematika, dan minimnya dukungan eksternal dari keluarga serta sekolah. Dampaknya, siswa merasa kurang percaya diri dan kurang berusaha keras. Oleh karena itu, disarankan untuk menerapkan metode pengajaran interaktif, meningkatkan dukungan dari pendidik dan orang tua, serta mengembangkan program yang menarik agar pembelajaran matematika lebih bermakna.
