The purpose of this research is to know the motivation of mathematics learning in high school students of 10th grade. Data collection method is done in the form of survey conducted in Purbalingga. The instrument used is a questionnaire of motivation to learn math. Interview method is also done to get additional data which is used as supporting data in conducting analysis of data obtained previously. The result of the survey shows that the students of both schools have a high motivation to learn math with an average of 3.39. Based on the results of the analysis, a lot of the students who have high learning motivation on math dissatisfied with the value of daily tests and examinations with an average index of 2.31. It shows that high learning motivation is not enough to get a satisfactory value. The statement was corroborated by points on the understanding of mathematical material that was only able to obtain an average index of 2.56. Based on the results of interviews from 3 students, they wanted to use a good learning media that had three characteristic, that was a learning media that taught students not to give up easily, that was able to bring out a sense of pleasure, and that was challenging. Therefore, beside high learning motivation, understanding of mathematics materials supported by the use of good learning media is also required.

This research aims to describe the mathematical problem-solving ability of grade VIII students at State Junior High School in Sragen Region and found the patterns of mathematical problem-solving abilities that were analysed based on students’ mathematical resilience. The method used in this research was descriptive quantitative research with 153 students as the samples. Data were collected using a questionnaire and a written test. The results of the research give an overview that mathematical problem-solving ability of students has high resilience level of mathematics which can deal with and be able to overcome obstacles and negative situations related to the problem-solving process because they can successfully coach themselves. Students who are given non-routine mathematical problem show differences in their mathematics problem-solving based on levels of mathematical resilience.

Self-regulated learning (SRL) is a process carried out by students on their awareness in formulating goals, determining strategies, motivating and monitoring themselves in learning and evaluating the results of their learning. This study aims to describe the SRL of junior high school students in learning mathematics from gender differences. The method used in this research is quantitative descriptive. The study was conducted at SMPN 1 Pecangaan. The sample used was 73 8th-grade students, consisting of 35 male students and 38 female students. The data were retrieved by using a questionnaire with Likert scale. The results of this study indicated that there were differences in SRL between male and female students in learning mathematics based on independent t-test (0.001< 0.05). Female students were superior in each indicator of all aspects of SRL, namely metacognition, motivation, and active involvement in learning activities. It can be concluded that female students have better SRL in learning mathematics compared to male students.
