Sampling using a simple random sampling technique. Data were collected through a Likert-scale questionnaire. Data analysis includes classical assumption tests (normality, linearity, multicollinearity, heteroscedasticity), multiple linear regression analysis to test causal relationships, and hypothesis testing (t-test, F-test) using SPSS 21.0. The results showed a positive relationship between history teacher performance and student learning motivation at SMA Negeri 1 Wates and SMK Negeri 2 Pengasih, as evidenced by a correlation value of R = 0.416 which indicates that the two variables are interrelated. The data shows a consistent pattern in both schools, where most students gave a positive assessment of the performance of history teachers.
