very few teenagers or junior high school students use Gadgets properly. They tend to use these
Gadgets for things they don't need at their age. Excessive use of Gadgets can result in
decreased learning motivation, impaired concentration, and laziness in learning. As a result,
students are always obsessed with using Gadgets and forget their learning commitments which
have an impact on their achievements. The purpose of this study was to determine the
Relationship between Gadget Use and Motivation and Learning Achievement of Grade IX
Students at IRA Medan Private Junior High School. The research method used a quantitative
