Introduction
Human existence is described through phases of development and progress from the earliest stages to death. Among the phases of change there is adolescence, which is the period of movement from children to adults, at this stage growth is very important to note, one of which is Education.
Education is a major milestone in the formation of cultured individuals and societies, but the reality experienced today shows serious challenges related to low interest in education in adolescents, this problem is related to the modernization era which is filled with distractions and demands of life that make the collapse of interest in education in adolescents.
Ahmad (2016) argues that education is an interactive human process with an open and planned environment and develops physically (physically) and mentally (thoughts, feelings, intentions, works, creativity and consciousness) that causes positive changes and cognitive, emotional, and psychological progress to achieve future life goals. Meanwhile, according to Sugihartono et al. (Irham and Wiyani, 2016), Education is a conscious and planned effort carried out by educators to change people's behavior, both individually and in groups to mature the person through the process of teaching and training.
Literature review
Understanding Youth
Understanding adolescence seen from a psychological point of view, adolescence is a transitional period that a person goes through from children to adults. Adolescence is a period of human development. This stage is a time of change or transition from childhood to adulthood which includes biological changes, psychological changes, and social changes. Adolescence is often defined as the transition between childhood and adulthood.
Adolescence is often known as a period of self-discovery, which Erikson calls ego-identity. This happens because adolescence is a transitional period in terms of physicality, they are treated like adults, but they do not seem to be able to show a mature attitude. From all the notions of adolescence mentioned above, it can be concluded that adolescence is a transition period from childhood to adulthood, through a period of mental and emotional, emotional, physical, and social development.
Understanding Educational Interest
Interest in the Great Dictionary Indonesian, is "High heart inclination towards something, passion, and desire" Interest is the willingness of the soul whose nature is active to accept something from outside. There is also an opinion that interest is an increase in individual attention to an object that has a lot to do with him. Interest, in other opinions, is a feeling of liking related to a reaction to something particular or a certain situation. So with interest will appear a tendency in individuals to focus their attention and increase their activities in an effort to achieve an object.
