This research is a quantitative descriptive study. The number of samples used to obtain data on student interest in learning in the study were 9 classes consisting of 3 majors, namely TKJ 1, TKJ 2, TKJ3, DPIB 1, DPIB 2, DPIB 3 and TBSM 1, TBSM 2, TBSM 3, students. Class XII while the number of samples used to obtain data on the factors that influence interest in learning is 36 students who were taken by purposive sampling technique. The results showed that the profile of students' interest in learning mathematics in class XII was 35% high, 38% of students who were classified as moderate, and 27% of students who were low. Students' interest in learning mathematics in vocational schools is influenced by two factors, namely internal and external factors. Internal factors that influence interest in learning chemistry are curiosity, ideals, motivation, and intelligence, while external factors that influence are the family environment, the way teachers teach, peers, learning media and learning materials.
