Excellent academic performance is necessary to ensure one's life in the future. There are various factors that contribute to the deterioration of students' academic performance including the students' own study motivation. A quantitative study; survey methods were conducted to assess the level of study motivation and its relationship with students’ academic performance. This study involved N=100 students from two District SJKT located in Hilir Perak (N = 50 SJKT 1; N = 50 SJKT II). Data were collected using a questionnaire and analyzed with the help of SPSS software version 25.0. The results of the analysis showed that students in both SJKT have a moderate level of study motivation with an average mean score obtained was ±2.88 – ±4.20. However, the analysis found that the level of student’s study motivation in SJKT I was higher (mean = 2.94-4.20) than the level of student’s study motivation in SJKT II (mean score = 2.04-4.34). The analysis results also showed that the students in both schools have a moderate level of academic achievement performance. However, this study found that the level of student’s study motivation in both schools did not have any significant relationship with their academic achievement (r = 0.087 (SJKT 1), r = -0.127 (SJKT II) whereby the value of p obtained was greater than 0.05. Finally, this study suggests that students' study motivation can be generated through the students themselves, family and support from the local community.
