This research aims to 1) examine the effect of the application of a textbook towards learning outcome, 2) examine the effect of learning motivation towards learning outcome, and 3) examine the interaction of textbooks and learning motivation towards learning outcome. This research is quasi-experimental with 2 x 2 factorial design. It uses ANOVA analysis of two paths. The results showed: 1) there was a significant difference in learning outcome between groups of students who studied with manual and digital textbooks (Fcount = 6.815; p = 0.010), 2) there was a significant difference in learning outcome between groups of students who have high and low learning motivation (Fcount = 6,173; p = 0.03) and 3) there was an effect between textbooks and learning motivation interaction towards learning outcome of Learning Media of Geography (Fcount = 3,426; p =0.036). Thus, textbooks and learning motivation can improve learning outcome and attractiveness.
