The normality test shows that the data is normally distributed. The correlation test revealed a significant relationship between prior knowledge (r = 0.601) and learning motivation (r = 0.486) on learning outcomes. Multiple linear regression analysis produces the equation Y = 32.638 + 0.393X1 + 0.259X2, which shows that both prior knowledge and learning motivation have a significant positive influence on student learning outcomes. Hypothesis testing shows that the t-values for prior knowledge and learning motivation are 6.017 and 3.172 respectively, with a significance of 0.000 and 0.002, both of which are smaller than 0.05. The F test shows that the simultaneous influence of the two independent variables on learning outcomes is also significant, with an F-calculated value of 42.662.
