Survey On Students' Motivation In Participating In Futsal Extracurricular Courses At MTSN 1 Sukabumi

Abstract

Motivation is a key determinant in student participation in extracurricular sports activities such as futsal. Various factors influence student motivation, including both intrinsic factors (such as personal interest, enjoyment, and self-goals) and extrinsic factors (such as peer influence, teacher encouragement, or external rewards). This study aims to identify the dominant type of motivation that drives students to participate in futsal extracurricular activities at MTsN 1 Sukabumi. The research employed a descriptive qualitative approach with a survey method conducted during the 2020/2021 academic year, specifically on October 10–11, 2020. The data were collected using a questionnaire instrument distributed to a sample of 30 students from grades VII, VIII, and IX who were actively involved in the futsal extracurricular program. The findings indicate that intrinsic motivation had a higher average score of 3.94 (categorized as high), while extrinsic motivation scored an average of 2.68 (categorized as moderate). This significant difference suggests that student participation in futsal is more strongly influenced by internal factors, such as personal enjoyment and interest in the sport, rather than external pressures or rewards. The study concludes that students at MTsN 1 Sukabumi are more intrinsically motivated to engage in futsal, driven by self-awareness and internal desire for achievement and activity enjoyment. These findings emphasize the importance for educators and extracurricular coaches to foster and maintain students' internal drive through supportive environments, meaningful engagement, and autonomy-supportive instruction, in order to sustain long-term participation and motivation in school sports programs.
