Abstract

This research began due to the low interest of students in learning mathematics. This can be observed from the classroom atmosphere and the students' responses during the learning process. Interest in learning is very important so that students are happy and enthusiastic in undergoing the learning process, thereby improving their academic achievements. This analysis of learning interest is conducted to determine the extent of students' interest in learning mathematics. The results of the analysis obtained can be used as evaluation material to enhance students' interest in learning, particularly in mathematics. In this study, students' learning interest was analyzed using qualitative research with a descriptive approach. This research technique was carried out by distributing a questionnaire, which was subsequently analyzed descriptively. The questionnaire consists of 24 statements filled out by 32 students from the XI Religious Studies class. In short, students are interested in learning mathematics using the learning media in the form of the Mathlab graphing calculator application. They seem happy and enthusiastic about learning. The classroom atmosphere is also enjoyable because the students appear active in solving the problems given. This is what makes students' interest in learning increase. The results of the research related to students' interest in learning mathematics yielded 79.04% with high criteria. On the indicator of enjoyment in learning mathematics, the percentage reached 82% with a high category; the indicator of interest in following mathematics lessons had a percentage of 80% with a high category; the indicator of attention in mathematics learning had a percentage of 75% with a sufficient category; and the indicator of student involvement during mathematics learning had a percentage of 73% with a sufficient category. These results indicate that students have an interest in learning mathematics in class.
