Abstract

This study aims to determine and describe mathematical problem solving abilities in terms of learning motivation on the material of class XI students at SMK Negeri 4 Gowa. This type of research is a qualitative research using a descriptive approach. Researchers chose 3 students from 30 students who were used as research subjects, these three students represented each of the three categories of learning motivation, namely high, medium, and low learning motivation.
