Abstract


This study aims to analyze and describe the learning interests of grade VII J students of SMP Negeri 1 Bantul for the 2021/2022 School Year in Bantul Regency. This type of research is qualitative research. The subjects of this study were students of class VII J consisting of 32 students. Data collection techniques use questionnaires. The results showed that the average percentage of answers as a whole was 58%. It can be concluded that most of the students of class VII J have an interest in learning mathematics. When based on gender, grade VII J students of SMP Negeri 1 Bantul who are male earned an average percentage of overall answers of 55% and students who were female obtained an average percentage of overall answers of 62%. It can be concluded that most male and female students have an interest in learning mathematics. When compared between the average percentage of learning interest of female students is greater than that of male students (62% > 55%) so it can be concluded that the interest in learning female students is better than the interest in learning male students in mathematics learning in class VII J of SMP Negeri 1 Bantul.
