ABSTRACT Raihan Mah Bengi (2024). The Influence of the Transition from the Curriculum 2013 to the Merdeka Curriculum on Student Learning Motivation at SMPN 2 Banda Aceh. [Skripsi, Syiah Kuala University]. Under direction of Dr. Siti Maryam, M.Si and Dr. Fadhilah, M.Pd. Education in Indonesia still faces many challenges, despite several curriculum changes, including the transition from the Curriculum 2013 to the Merdeka Learning Curriculum. Launched in 2020, the Merdeka Learning Curriculum aims to enhance students' interests, talents, and competencies. However, its implementation has not been optimal in some schools. Based on observations at SMPN 2 Banda Aceh, this curriculum change has an impact on student learning motivation. This study aims to investigate the transition from the Curriculum 2013 to the Merdeka Learning Curriculum at SMPN 2 Banda Aceh, assess student learning motivation at the school, and determine the effect of this curriculum change on students' learning motivation. The research employs a quantitative method, with the population consisting of all 216 students in the ninth grade at SMPN 2 Banda Aceh. The sample of 69 students was obtained using the Slovin formula. Data were collected through surveys, observations, and documentation, while data analysis utilized simple linear regression analysis and hypothesis testing with t-tests and F-tests. The results indicate that the calculated t-value (7.689) exceeds the t-table value (1.996) with a significance level of 0.000, which is less than 0.05, indicating that the hypothesis is accepted. Therefore, it can be concluded that there is a significant influence of the transition from the Curriculum 2013 to the Merdeka Learning Curriculum on student learning motivation at SMPN 2 Banda Aceh. The conclusion of this research is that the transition from the Curriculum 2013 to the Merdeka Learning Curriculum at SMPN 2 Banda Aceh enhances students' freedom to develop their interests and talents through a flexible learning approach. The implementation of this curriculum significantly improves student learning motivation. Keywords: Curriculum 2013, Merdeka Curriculum, Student Learning Motivation
