Similarly, learning motivation had a significant influence, with a significance value of (sig 0.003 < 0.05) and a Ttable value of 1.987. Furthermore, perceptions of learning media and learning motivation collectively had a significant impact on descriptive text reading skills (sig 0.00 < 0.05) with an F_calculated value of 22.541.
