Learning with passion will encourage students to learn better than learning without enthusiasm.
This spirit arises when students are interested in something because it suits their needs or feel that something they will learn feels meaningful to them, but if the spirit is not accompanied by good effort then learning is also difficult to succeed.
The spirit of learning is an encouragement to participate in the learning process to acquire knowledge and skills.
Motivation is important for any type of learning process because motivation will encourage individuals to work hard in order to succeed in their learning (Tym et al.
, 2.
Motivation is the main motivating factor in students who Trigger learning activities and ensure the continuity of the learning process, as well as provide direction in order to achieve the desired Learning failure A person can be caused by a lack of motivation despite having a fairly high level of intelligence.
Each student's learning motivation is different, some are high and some are Therefore, learning motivation must be increased so that students do not fail in learning (Prabowo et al.
, 2.
But in reality there are still many teachers who do not use strategies that In accordance with his students, for example what happens in Islamic religious education (PAI) lessons, mathematics, natural sciences (IPA).
English etc.
Religious teachers It is rare to combine established teaching They Most Very boring, and lack of praise for motivating students he learned.
So that student motivation to learn is still lacking.
Therefore.
Motivation is very important in the learning process.
Because Effort the driving of the subject to do an act in a purpose (Berlian and Masrufa, 2.

Therefore, this study aims to fill the gap and provide further insight into the dynamics or influence of motivation on the learning spirit of junior high school students or in other words This study focuses on the role of student learning motivation based on Abraham Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs Theory to see student enthusiasm for learning.
Abraham Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs theory identifies five levels of human needs: physical, security, social, reward, and self-actualization (Arquisola and Aries Ahlisa, 2.
And this theory identifies groups of human needs in a tiered hierarchy, where motivational needs are placed at a higher level (Kadji, 2.
So, this finding has very important implications for the development of learning strategies that pay more attention or emphasis on the psychological aspects of students at the lower secondary education level or better known as junior high school.
