The role of motivation will encourage individuals to have appropriate strategies to guide their learning, to depthly process the information which in turn produces better learning achievement. Environment creates a learning atmosphere that influences students learning motivation. This study was aimed to find out the correlation between students’ perception of clinical learning environment and learning motivation. Method: The study used quantitative method with cross sectional approach. 70 Ners students of Aisyiyah University of Yogyakarta academic year 2015/2016 answered the Clinical Learning Environment and Supervision (CLES) and Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire (MSLQ) questionaires. Pearson test was used to analyze the data.Results: Most of the students (77.1%) showed positive perception about the clinical learning environment. They were more likely to be motivated extrinsically than intrinsically.The highest value of task value motivation subscales shows a mean value of 5.79 (SD = + 0.67) while the lowest value in the anxiety test sub-scale shows a mean of 3.52 (SD = + 1.23). The clinical learning environment of the head of the room leadership style sub-scale has a weak positive correlation with the motivation to learn (r = 0.297 and p = 0.012).Conclusion: There is a weak positive correlation between students’ perception of clinical learning environment and learning motivation. Clinical learning environment needs to be well prepared to meet the needs and improve students learning motivation.
