pura, with a purposive sample of 70 students from grades 5 and 6. The instrument

used is a Likert scale-based questionnaire to measure students’ perceptions and

motivationData analysis was conducted using descriptive statistics in the form of

percentages and categorization based on the mean and standard deviation. The re-

search results show that the majority of students have perceptions and motivations
