Abstract

This research aims to determine (1) The direct influence of learning methods and environments on the quality of learning, (2) The direct influence of learning methods, environment, and quality on learning interests, (3) the Indirect influence of learning methods and environments on learning interests through learning quality. This research was carried out at State Junior High School (SMPN) 25 Makassar with a sample of 110 class IX students. The analysis used is linear regression analysis to determine the influence of independent variables on dependent variables, then analyze paths or path analysis to determine the indirect influence of independent variables on dependent variables through intervening variables. This study shows that learning methods and learning environments directly influence the quality of learning, then learning methods, learning environments, and learning qualities have a direct but insignificant influence on learning interests. Furthermore, indirect learning methods do not influence learning interests through the quality of learning; otherwise, the learning environment influences learning interests through the quality of learning.
