Human-computer interaction (HCI) is a design field, and supporting students’ ability to create and implement interface designs with appropriate and systematic stages or processes is a key issue in design education. For students, the design process starts with determining the topic, preparing documentation in the form of worksheets, creating semantic nets, and finally implementing the design. This study aimed to examine the relationship between motivation and cognitive skills, and interface design skills. There were 40 students included as study participants. The obtained data were analysed using multiple linear regression. The analysis resulted in the equation Y = 6.106 + 0.936 X1 – 0.17 X2. This result showed that highly motivated students tend to competently design an interface without the suggested systematics or procedures. On the other hand, the regression coefficient of cognitive skills was negative, but the correlation was not significant. Hence, cognitive skills did not significantly affect interface design skills. © 2022. WIETE
