Based on the results of this test, the p-value was 0.019, thus p < α (0.019 < 0.05), then Ho was rejected and Ha received with a correlation value of r = - 0.420. The conclusion of this study is that there is a relationship between playing online games and learning motivation in adolescent students of SMPN 41 Bulukumba who are not in the direction of moderate correlation strength with a value of r = -0.420.
