The reality in the fourth grade of SD 1 Dersalam Kudus indicates that some students still have low learning motivation, as reflected by their lack of enthusiasm, limited participation in classroom activities, and tendency to delay completing assignments.

The findings show that learning discipline plays an important role in enhancing students’ motivation.

These practices also foster students’ awareness of achieving better learning outcomes. Overall, the implementation of learning discipline creates a more conducive learning environment and contributes to increased student learning motivation at SD 1 Dersalam Kudus.
