Firstly I want to explain you about definition of motivation. Generally there are two types of motivation, there is a motivation that grows from within and there is a motivation that grows because the factors there are encouragement from others. Motivation that come from within (intrinsic motivation) can grow because of the very high curiosity. While the motivation that comes from outside grows because there is encouragement from teachers and parents who are at home. Students who have the motivation to learn will obtain optimal learning results and satisfactory.

To understand what is definition learning motivation let we see some of experts opinions. Sudirman (1996) mentions that students who have high motivation is characterized by diligent doing the task, tenacious facing difficulties, prefer to work independently, and can defend his opinion. Sudarwan (2002: 2) motivation is defined as the strength, drive, need, spirit, pressure, or psychological mechanism that encourages a person or group of people to achieve certain accomplishments in accordance with what he wants.
