This study aims to explore the interest and learning motivation as well as the influence of internet usage among secondary school students. The research was conducted through psychoeducational group counseling involving six Form 4 respondents from SMK Putrajaya Presint 9(1). The data for this study was collected through five face-to-face counseling sessions. Thematic analysis was used to analyze the data, and the findings showed low interest and learning motivation among the respondents due to limited study time, which only occurs during school hours. However, the influence of high internet usage was evident among the respondents, as they allocate a significant amount of time, particularly on social media and online gaming.
