faktor penting dalam keberhasilan proses pembelajaran. Penelitian ini bertujuan

dengan jenis penelitian deskriptif. Populasi penelitian adalah seluruh siswa SMA
Negeri di Labuhanhaji dengan jumlah sampel sebanyak 214 siswa yang dipilih
menggunakan teknik probability sampling dengan metode simple random
sampling. Instrumen penelitian berupa skala psikologis penggunaan game online
dan motivasi belajar. Instrumen penggunaan game online diadopsi dari Mahyani

tolerance, dan interpersonal and health problem. Instrumen motivasi belajar
diadopsi dari Banowati (2023) berdasarkan teori Sardiman yang meliputi indikator
tekun menghadapi tugas, ulet menghadapi kesulitan, lebih senang bekerja secara
mandiri, dan mampu mempertahankan pendapat. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan
bahwa tingkat penggunaan game online siswa berada pada kategori rendah sebesar
64%, kategori sangat rendah sebesar 29%, dan kategori sedang sebesar 7%, serta
tidak ditemukan siswa pada kategori tinggi dan sangat tinggi. Sementara itu,
motivasi belajar siswa berada pada kategori rendah sebesar 75%, kategori sangat
rendah sebesar 21%, dan kategori sedang sebesar 3%, serta hampir tidak ditemukan
siswa dengan motivasi belajar tinggi. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa hanya
sedikit siswa yang menggunakan game online secara intensif, namun motivasi
belajar siswa secara umum masih tergolong rendah.

Febby Indrian. (2025). Analytical Study of Online Game Use and Learning Motivation of High School Students in Labuhanhaji. [Thesis. Syiah Kuala University]. Under the supervision of Drs. Syaiful Bahri, M.Pd and Jamilah Aini Nasution, S.Pd., M.Pd. The development of digital technology in the modern era has encouraged an increase in online game usage among adolescents, including senior high school students. Playing online games has become a phenomenon that requires attention, as it may be associated with students’ academic achievement. Learning motivation is an important factor in the success of the learning process. This study aims to describe the use of online games and the learning motivation of students at public senior high schools in Labuhanhaji. This study employed a quantitative approach with a descriptive research design. The research population consisted of all students of public senior high schools in Labuhanhaji, with a sample of 214 students selected using probability sampling through a simple random sampling technique. The research instruments were psychological scales measuring online game usage and learning motivation. The online game usage instrument was adapted from Mahyani Putri (2022) based on the aspects proposed by Chen and Chang, namely compulsion, withdrawal, tolerance, and interpersonal and health problems. The learning motivation instrument was adapted from Banowati (2023) based on Sardiman’s theory, which includes indicators such as persistence in completing tasks, resilience in facing difficulties, preference for independent work, and the ability to maintain opinions. The results showed that students’ online game usage was categorized as low (64%), very low (29%), and moderate (7%), with no students classified in the high or very high categories. Meanwhile, students’ learning motivation was categorized as low (75%), very low (21%), and moderate (3%), with almost no students demonstrating high learning motivation. The analysis indicates that only a small proportion of students engage intensively in online gaming; however, overall students’ learning motivation remains relatively low.
