success important determinants. Motivation is divided into two, they are
intrinsic motivation and extrinsic motivation. The purpose of this study was to
determine the students’ motivation in choosing primary education study program
(PGSD). This study was descriptive research in the form of a survey. It
investigated the circumstances, conditions, and other factors whose results are
presented in the form of a report. The population in this study were PGSD
students of Ahmad Dahlan University, academic year 2013/2014 class A, B, C, D,
E, F consisting of 245 students. This research used questionnaire sheets to
gather data. The data was then analyzed using descriptive statistics. The
results show that PGSD students vary in motivation. Intrinsic motivation that
affects students joining PGSD varies from the desire to be elementary school
teachers, civil servants, and private course owners. On the other hands,
students also vary in terms of extrinsic motivation, for example, following the
wishes of their parents, following PGSD trend, expecting high salaries, being
not accepted in the previously desired study program, and joining friends. The
results also show that the highest percentage of students’ intrinsic motivation
in joining PGSD is because they do want to be primary school teachers, while in
extrinsic motivation was because they follow the wishes of their parents.
