Thus, the stress on the concept of 4C 1V (critical thinking, creativity, communication, collaboration, and good moral values) in Malaysia's education systems has been applied and because of that, the 21st-century learning comes into existence. This study aims to identify students' motivation level in learning through the use of 21st-century learning activities and evaluate the 21st-century learning activities that have a relationship with student motivation in learning. This study used a quantitative correlation approach by using a questionnaire form as the study instrument. A total of 90 students as respondents were involved in this study.

The think pair share activity is the one that is the most impactful to students' motivation. The finding is very significant to guide teachers in the implementation of 21st-century learning activities to enhance student motivation. 2023, Auricle Global Society of Education and Research.
