Pengaruh Persepsi Dukungan Autonomy dan Dukungan Sosial Terhadap Motivasi Intrinsik Musik

Abstract

Learning music through formal lessons have a lot of benefit for teenagers. Unfortunately, data shows  that teenagers tend to quit music lessons because of the lack of interest and motivation. Motivation, especially  intrinsic motivation is an important aspect in the continuation of having formal music lessons because it can  predict a more effective music practice. Support from teacher and parents are needed in order to increase the  student’s intrinsic motivation. The hypothesis is that there is a positive effect between perceived autonomy support  and perceived social support towards intrinsic motivation to play music. This research uses quantitative approach  with correlational design. Subjects in this research are 120 teenagers who is currently taking music lessons in  Surabaya and obtained by means of accidental sampling. Data analysis shows the main hypothesis is only  partially accepted, where it is found only perceived autonomy support can predict intrinsic motivation while  perceived social support have no effect. Further analysis shows that perceived autonomy and social support from  music teacher has a significant effect towards teenager’s intrinsic motivation. Other factors such as what age the  student start having lessons also have an effect towards their intrinsic motivation as teenagers.
