The absence of student learning motivation, which can affect their achievement and their involvement in learning activities, is one of the main challenges faced by teachers during the learning process. In this context, humanistic learning theory offers a perspective that emphasizes how important it is to meet a person's psychological and emotional needs so that they can learn optimally and feel valued as individuals. The most important finding of this study is that humanistic learning theory has great potential to increase students' desire to learn. If this theory is applied more widely, it can help solve the problem of lack of desire to learn which has been a problem in the world of education. Theoretically and practically, this study makes a significant contribution to the advancement of science. Theoretically, this study strengthens the idea that the humanistic approach is still relevant in the world of modern education. Practically, this study offers direction to educators to concentrate more on students' emotional needs as one important way to increase their desire to learn. Although this study is very useful, the results cannot be generalized. To find out how humanistic learning theory can be applied to various educational contexts, further studies are needed. This will pave the way for additional research
