Abstract: This study finds out the relationship between students' motivation, self-regulation, and interest in learning physics with performance. The descriptive-survey method with case study approach has been used for this study. The students' adaptive learning engagement in science (SALES) questionnaire and the individual interest questionnaire (IIQ) were used to collect the data, while statistics descriptive, independent sample t-test, Pearson correlation, and linear hierarchical regression were used for analysis the data. The novelty of this study was focused on a school that is quite far from the district centre and included in newly established school. Results showed motivation, self-regulation, and interest were categorised as moderate, while grade has significant influence on students' motivation, self-regulation, and interest. Pearson correlation revealed that motivation and self-regulation have positive relationship with performance, while linear hierarchical regression indicated that motivation becomes as good predictor for students' performance. Implications of this study can be input for related parties, consisting of description of how physics learning is done in schools that are quite far from the district centre or rural area, which is seen from the point of view of motivation, self-regulation, and interest.
