1. Hipothesis

H0 (Null Hipothesis) :

There are the positif correlation between learning interest and learning

difficulties of fiifth grade students of elemenatary school.

H1 (First Hipothesis) :

There are no correlation between learning interest and learning difficulties of

fiifth grade students of elemenatary school.

2. Variable

a. Students' learning interest (variable X) as an independent variable is a

variable that influences or causes the dependent variable to arise.

b. Student learning difficulties (variable Y) as the dependent variable is a

variable that is influenced or is the result of the independent variable.

3. Sample and Data Collection Technique

a. The sample is 30 student for grade 5 in Elementary School

b. The technique to data collection is using questionnaire. The type of

questionnaire used is a closed questionnaire questionnaire that is prepared

 by providing complete answer choices so that respondents only choose one

of the available answers. The measurement scale uses a Likert scale model.

To determine the level of student interest in learning is high, medium

or low, groupings are made using the following formula:

a) A score of more than Mx + 1.SD is a high level of student

interest in learning is high.
b) A score of less than Mx – 1.SD is a low level of student
interest in learning is low.
c) And the score between Mx – 1.SD to Mx + 1.SD is the level of
interest in learning is medium.

1 >92 7 23,33% High
2 86 – 92 16 53,34% Medium
3 <86 7 23,33% Low
Total 30

From these levels, it can be seen that those who expressed

interest in learning for fifth grade students were in the high category
with a frequency of 7 children with a percentage of 23.33%, in the
medium category with a frequency of 16 children with the percentage
is 53.34%, and in the low category with a frequency of 7 people with a
percentage of 23.33%. Thus in general it can be said that the learning
interest of the fifth grade students of the elementary school is in the
medium category with 30 respondents.

To determine the level of student difficulties in learning is high,

medium or low, groupings are made using the following formula:

a) A score of more than Mx + 1.SD is a high level of student

difficulties in learning is high.
b) A score of less than Mx – 1.SD is a low level of student
difficulties in learning is low.
c) And the score between Mx – 1.SD to Mx + 1.SD is the level of
difficulties in learning is medium.

From these levels, it can be seen that those who state learning

difficulties for fifth grade students are in the high category with a

frequency of 5 children with a percentage of 16.67%, in the medium

category with a frequency of 19 children with a percentage of 63.33%, and

in the low category with a frequency of 6 people with a percentage of 20%.

Thus in general it can be said that the learning difficulties of fifth grade

students of the elementary school is in the medium category with 30

respondents.

After the Product Moment value is known, then the results of the analysis
can be interpreted that, based on the analysis of the data with the statistics above,
it was found that ro is smaller than rt. Thus, the hypothesis proposed in this
study, namely H0 which reads "There is a correlation between interest in
learning and learning difficulties of fifth grade students is accepted. From this
discussion, the correlation coefficient found at 0.96 is included in the strong
category. So there is a strong relationship between interest in learning and
learning difficulties for fifth grade students..

Thus, it can be concluded that the level of interest in learning for fifth
grade students is closely related to student learning difficulties. The relationship
of interest in learning with learning difficulties of students is as a basis or
reference for students to overcome difficulties in learning and increase attention
and enthusiasm in learning, as explained by Abu Ahmadi and Widodo
Supriyono that the absence of a child's interest in a lesson learning difficulties
will arise, learning that has no interest may not be in accordance with his talents,
not according to needs, not in accordance with the skills, not in accordance with
the special types of children cause a lot of problems for him.
