Abstract

The government of Timor Leste has taken several policies to meet this challenge, one of the policies taken by the government is to establish Filial (branch) schools, where the orientation of education leads to the formation of students who are ready and able to compete among others who continue their education at the secondary level. However, information obtained at Ensino Secundario Filial de Laga shows that students who choose science majors are more than those who choose social studies majors. The purpose of this study is to determine and analyze the effect of the teacher's teaching method on student interest in learning at Ensino Secundario Filial de Laga Respondents in this study were 51 students of Class XI IPA. In this study, the authors used simple linear regression analysis by distributing a questionnaire consisting of 30 items for independent and dependent variables. The results showed that the correlation coefficient value (r-count) = 0.621 with a strong category, the value of t-count = 5.547> t-table = 1.676 so that Ha is accepted and rejected Ho, meaning that there is an influence between the teacher's teaching method on learning interest. For the simple linear regression line equation Y = 31.235 +.544X. Meanwhile, the coefficient of determination (R2) = 0.386 or 38.6% means that 38.6% shows that the teacher's teaching method can determine the rise and fall of interest in learning.
