Abstract

The low achievement of student learning outcomes is an urgent problem in the implementation of education. The large number of students who have not met the criteria for mastery level in grade XI in Telaga District, Gorontalo Regency, Gorontalo Province, is a problem in itself. This study aims to analyze the influence of learning independence, learning facilities, and learning motivation on the academic achievement of 11th-grade students in the Economics subject at SMA Negeri 1 Telaga, Gorontalo Regency. The research was conducted over a period of 6 months, from July to December 2024. This study employs a quantitative approach using the SEM PLS method to analyze the relationships between variables. The study involved a sample of 156 students. Data collection instruments included questionnaires and observations. The results showed that, both partially and simultaneously, learning independence, learning facilities, and learning motivation significantly and positively influence students' learning outcomes. These findings emphasize the importance of enhancing these three factors to improve the quality of learning and students' learning outcomes in the Economics subject.
