Transformation of Elementary School Students' Learning Outcomes: The Role of Independence, Discipline and Learning Environment
Keywords:
academic achievement, learning environment, student discipline, learning outcomesAbstract
This research aims to identify and analyze the influence of the learning environment, self-reliance, and discipline on the academic achievement of elementary school students. Through a deep understanding of these factors, effective strategies can be developed to enhance the quality of education and student achievement. This research delves into the intricate dynamics between the learning environment, student self-reliance, discipline, and their collective influence on the academic achievement of elementary school students. Grounded in the quantitative research methodology, the study employs a structured approach to investigate these factors. The research asserts that a positive and supportive learning environment, higher levels of student independence, and greater student discipline are pivotal in enhancing student learning outcomes. The study population comprises all Bua, Luwu Regency primary school students, focusing on fifth and sixth-grade classes. Cluster random sampling was utilized to ensure a representative sample of students. Data collection was executed through a well-designed questionnaire featuring a Likert scale format. The rigorous data analysis involved multiple regression to elucidate the relationships between the independent variables (learning environment, student independence, student discipline) and the dependent variable (learning outcomes). Findings from the study are anticipated to shed light on effective strategies to bolster educational practices and student achievements. Educators and policymakers can leverage these insights to design interventions that optimize the learning environment, foster student independence, and promote discipline, ultimately enhancing the quality of education and academic performance among elementary school students.
