The Influence of Internal and External Factors on Learning Achievement

Abstract

This study presents an analysis of several factors related to Indonesian student achievement. The sample consists of one hundred and eleven students in the second semester at the State Islamic University of Malang in Indonesia. The sample represents 74% of the student population for the even semester of 2021. Data were collected through instruments consisting of internal and external factors consisting of seventy-six statements. The age of the students ranged between 19 and 20 years. Internal factors which were analyzed included health, intelligence, talents, interests, motivations, and student learning methods. External factors analyzed include lecturers, other students, facilities, courses, extracurricular activities, and achievements. Then, internal and external factors were analyzed using multiple linear regression. These two factors simultaneously affect student achievement. Partially, the internal factors that influence learning achievement are the variables of intelligence and talent. Meanwhile, partially external factors that dominate the influence of learning achievement are lecturers and curriculum variables.

Desire or Routine? Evaluating Their Influence on Computer-Aided Design Learning Achievement

“…However, external factors are more dominant in influencing student learning achievement. Chamidy et al (2023) stated that internal and external factors could influence student learning achievement; however, external factors dominated student learning achievement with a coefficient of determination value of 0.135. So, the question arises about students' internal factors, such as student motivation and interest in learning.…”
