Determinants of Learning Outcomes Among Islamic Senior High School Students: Learning Motivation, Learning Discipline, and Critical Thinking Skills

Student learning outcomes are often suboptimal due to inadequate internal factors, such as learning motivation, learning discipline, and critical thinking skills. Students can achieve optimal learning outcomes when these internal factors are consciously, systematically, and intentionally developed as part of their efforts to improve their learning achievement. This study aims to examine the factors that influence student learning outcomes, namely learning motivation, learning discipline, and critical thinking skills, among students at Al-Amin Islamic Senior High School, Sukodono, Sidoarjo. This study employed a quantitative approach, with data collected through questionnaire distribution, documentation of relevant documents, and direct observation at the research site. A total of 97 students constituted both the population and the sample, selected using the total sampling technique. The collected data were assessed for validity and reliability before being analyzed using multiple linear regression. Accordingly, classical assumption tests were conducted as prerequisites for the analysis. The results showed that two independent variables, namely learning motivation and critical thinking skills, had a positive and significant effect on student learning outcomes. In contrast, learning discipline did not show a significant effect on student learning outcomes.
