Abstract
Kesulitan beradaptasi di lingkungan baru membuat mahasiswa perantau mengalami gegar budaya yang menyebabkan motivasi belajar mahasiswa menurun. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan antara gegar budaya dan motivasi belajar pada mahasiswa perantau. Metode yang digunakan adalah penelitian kuantitatif. Sampel diperoleh dengan menggunakan teknik cluster random sampling. Subjek penelitian ini adalah 66 mahasiswa perantau berusia 19 – 22 tahun di Universitas X yang berasal dari luar provinsi Sulawesi Selatan yang diperoleh dari sembilan fakultas yang ada di Universitas X. Pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan menggunakan skala Gegar Budaya dan skala Motivasi Belajar. Hasil analisis data dengan uji korelasi Product Moment menunjukkan bahwa terdapat hubungan yang negatif antara gegar budaya dan motivasi belajar. Semakin tinggi gegar budaya yang dialami mahasiswa perantau maka semakin rendah motivasi belajarnya. Gegar budaya memiliki sumbangan efektif terhadap variabel motivasi belajar sebesar 5.80% dan selebihnya dipengaruhi oleh faktor lain. Hal ini menunjukkan pentingnya meminimalisir gegar budaya agar dapat meningkatkan motivasi belajar mahasiswa yang merantau.
