This study aimed to determine the factors that affect the independent learning of accounting students at a vocational high school. Independent learning can be implemented by someone if they have self-confidence. In addition, other factors that can be influential are student motivation and creativity. Motivation is an important factor because this can encourage students to carry out learning activities, and motivation will lead to creativity in learning. This explanatory quantitative research involved three independent variables and one dependent variable. The sample was obtained from vocational high school students in Malang majoring in accounting. Data were collected using a questionnaire, while the data were analyzed using multiple regression. The results showed that self-confidence had a significant effect on student independent learning.

These results reinforce the theory of constructivism where, in learning, a person must build on their own knowledge and learn from the experiences gained by others. Suggestions for further research include examining additional variables that may affect independent learning.
