Differences in students' ability to comprehend Geography material indicate that learning difficulties remain an issue potentially affecting learning outcomes. This study was conducted to obtain empirical evidence regarding the influence of learning difficulties on the geography learning outcomes of eleventh-grade students at Senior High School 1 Kulisusu, North Buton Regency. A quantitative approach with a descriptive-correlational method was employed in this research. The research sample consisted of 30 students. Data was collected through a difficulty learning questionnaire and the documentation of Geography report card grades, which were then analyzed using descriptive statistics and simple linear regression via SPSS software. The results showed that the students' level of learning difficulties fell into the moderate category, with an average score of 78.97, while the learning outcomes averaged 77.87. Regression analysis indicated a significant influence of learning difficulties on Geography learning outcomes, with a correlation coefficient value of r = 0.479, a coefficient of determination R2 =0.229, and a significance value of 0.007 (<0.05). In conclusion, learning difficulties significantly influence the geography learning outcomes of eleventh-grade students at Senior High School 1 Kulisusu.
