Visual perception is a process in organizing and interpreting input or information obtained visually. There have been several studies revealing that there is a relationship between visual perception and academic ability, but there is no study related it to learning motivation. What individuals see provides information that is processed into something meaningful. This meaning can stimulate attitudes and motivations for what is seen, in this case is learning material. What is visually perceived is linked to student motivation in learning. The research was conducted quantitatively and the data was collected by distributing questionnaire to the respondents. The research respondents were male and female students at elementary school, junior high school, and senior high scholl in Bandung City. Based on the research findings, there is no difference in learning motivation in students who have different gender. However, there are differences in motivation in students who are at different levels of education. Elementary school students have a higher visual perception and greater influence on the level of their learning motivation. This can provide input and suggestions for improving students learning motivation in general.
