Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of motivation to learn Aqidah Akhlak on students' prayer activeness at MTs Negeri Model Palopo. This study was motivated by the fact that some students still do not consistently perform prayers. The study used a quantitative approach and was conducted in November–December 2026. The population comprised 403 seventh-grade students, and researchers selected a sample of 277 using simple random sampling. The Slovin formula determined the sample size at a 5% margin of error. Data were collected through observation and questionnaires and analyzed using descriptive statistics, assumption tests, simple linear regression, and hypothesis testing in IBM SPSS Statistics version 25. The results showed that motivation to learn Aqidah Akhlak and prayer activity fell into the moderate category. The regression equation Ŷ = 11.883 + 0.690X, with T_count=17.575 > T_table1.969 and significance 0.000 < 0.05. The contribution of influence is 52.9%, with a large effect size ( Cohen's f² = 1.123). Therefore, increasing learning motivation requires varied learning methods, teacher role models, the habit of congregational prayer, religious culture in madrasas, and family support to increase students' prayer activity.
