Abstract

Attention is the mental ability that allows an individual to focus, direct, and sustain their thoughts on a specific object or task. Unfortunately, many students experience difficulties in maintaining their attention while studying, which can lead to a decline in the quality of learning outcomes. This study aims to evaluate the influence of instrumental music on the learning attention of senior- level psychology students at the State Islamic University (UIN) Malang. The research employs an experimental design with a SingleCase Experimental Design approach. Thestudy participants consist of 15 6th-semester psychology students who meet the established inclusion and exclusion criteria. The primary observed variableislearning attention, which is measured using the Digit Symbol test from the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS). The data analysis results, utilizing a t-test, reveal an average increase of -4.6 in learning attention scores from the pre-test to the post-test condition. The 95% confidence interval indicates that the actual difference between pre- and post-intervention instrumental music learning attention scores falls within the range of -4.054 to -5.146. From the analysis and interpretation of the data, it can be concluded that instrumental music has a significant influence in enhancing the learning attention of senior-level psychology students.
