Abstract

This study aims to determine and analyze the effect of student behavior on learning achievement of class VIII students of SMP Negeri 3 Muara in the 2024/2025 school year. Student behavior includes discipline, motivation to learn, involvement in school activities, attitude of responsibility, and time management. Learning achievement is measured through student academic grades obtained from report cards, assignments, and exams. The research method uses a descriptive quantitative approach. The study population was all VIII grade students totaling 65 people and all of them were sampled. Data were collected through a Likert scale questionnaire and report card documentation. Data analysis included validity, reliability, simple correlation, simple linear regression, coefficient of determination, and t-test.

The results showed that there was a significant relationship between student behavior and learning achievement with a correlation coefficient value of 0.738 (strong category). The R² value is 0.545, meaning that student behavior affects 54.5% of learning achievement, the rest is influenced by other factors. The regression equation obtained Y = 0.547 + 0.628X. The t-test shows that the tcount is 8.682 > ttable 1.998, so the hypothesis is accepted. Thus, student behavior has a positive and significant effect on learning achievement. This study recommends schools and teachers to put more emphasis on fostering positive behavior, increasing motivation, and creating a conducive learning environment.
