Studies made by some researchers issues several factors that lead to student’s motivation towards the subjects itself. Many researchers found out that, the lack of motivation among students are oriented in cognitive, affective and conative aspect. Students are not cognitively motivated if they’re facing the lack of understanding in the content and purpose of the activity done in the learning process.
