Abstract

This research is motivated by the low learning motivation of participants. The purpose of this study was to determine students’ learning motivation before and after receiving classical guidance using the ice-breaking method, as well as to examine the effectiveness of this method in improving students’ learning motivation. This study employed a quantitative approach with a pre-experimental design. The research population consisted of 56 students, with a sample of 27 tenth-grade students at SMK N 1 Ranah Batahan who had low learning motivation, selected through purposive sampling based on pretest results. Data were collected using a learning motivation questionnaire, while data analysis was conducted using descriptive statistics, validity testing, reliability testing, homogeneity testing, and t-test analysis. The results showed that students’ learning motivation before receiving classical guidance using the ice-breaking method was in the low category, and after the treatment, it increased to the high category. The hypothesis testing results indicated that classical guidance using the ice-breaking method was effective in improving students’ learning motivation. In conclusion, the application of the ice-breaking method in classical guidance services can significantly enhance students’ learning motivation.
