Interest in learning and learning media contributed 70.4% to student learning achievement, while other factors such as teacher ability, student ability, and family conditions contributed 29.6%. The implications of this research emphasize the importance of increasing students' interest in learning and ensuring the availability of adequate learning media in schools. Efforts to improve learning outcomes must also pay attention to other supporting factors such as increasing teacher capabilities and family support.
