To collect the data needed for this study, the authors used interview. They were interviewed one by one in relation to their ability to implement the transformational and transactional leadership to motivate students’ learning. A number of 275 teachers selected randomly to represent the whole of senior high school teacher in Aceh. The collected data were analysed qualitatively using data display, data reduction, and data conclusion. The study found that transformational and transactional leadership style played an important role in motivating students to learn the subjects. Therefore, the teachers’ ability and knowledge on the transformational and transactional leadership style should be well mastered by the teachers who teach the lesson in the classroom. It also found that Transformational and Transactional leadership styles are being used by teachers because the teachers see that the teaching-learning processes are not very effective if the motivation of the students is low. It can be concluded that transformational and transactional leadership from the teachers significantly influences students’ motivation to learn
