Pengaruh Minat Belajar dan Iklim Kelas terhadap Prestasi Belajar Matematika Siswa SMP

Abstract

Many factors can affect a student's performance in mathematics. One of them is the interest in learning as an internal factor and the classroom environment as an external factor. Researchers employed a quantitative approach in this research to examine the effect of learning interest and class climate on students' mathematics learning achievement at a public junior high school in Banda Aceh, Aceh, Indonesia. All class IX pupils who were enrolled in the chosen schools made up the study's population, with the research sample consisting of one of the classes selected through thecluster sampling. Data were collected through a questionnaire about learning interest, class climate questionnaire, and documentation in the form of the final average score in the field of mathematics. The data analysis technique uses multiple linear regression analysis, t-test and F-test after the pretest requirements are met. Research results show that: (1) learning interest affects achievement learn math students; (2) no effect of classroom environment on student achievement in mathematics; and (3) interest in learning and class environment affect students' achievement in learning mathematics.
