Interest in learning is a very important factor in the continuation of successful learning. Therefore, interest in learning considerably influences the learning that occurs. Vice versa, if the lack of interest in learning can lead to a lack of attention, participation, and effort in the learning process. As a result of the lack of interest in learning, it will certainly impact academic scores and student achievement. This research aims to determine what factors influence the learning interest of students of the Mathematics and Natural Sciences study program at the University of Mataram in the era of the COVID-19 pandemic. The method used in this research is factor analysis, with 13 variables being observed. According to the findings of the factor analysis that was done, three key elements affect student motivation in learning. The first three components account for 33.211% of the variation and have eigenvalues of 4.317, making them the most dominating factors. The second factor has eigenvalues of 1.634 and explains 12.569% of the variation. The third factor has eigenvalues of 1.325 and explains 10.193% of the variation. It is concluded that the grouping of the three factors. First, the support system consists of lecture time, situations and conditions, lecturer teaching methods, non-academic activities, availability of facilities and infrastructure, interaction in lectures, and schedule changes. Second, technical lectures consist of lecture assignments, language use, turning on the camera in virtual zoom, and video recording. Third, the education system consists of online lectures and learning media.
