Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui efektivitas layanan informasi dengan teknik behavioral contract dalam meningkatkan kedisiplinan siswa kelas XI SMK Negeri 1 Stabat. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode eksperimen dengan desain one group pretest-posttest. Sampel penelitian terdiri atas 36 siswa kelas XI TB1 yang dipilih menggunakan teknik purposive sampling. Instrumen penelitian berupa angket kedisiplinan dengan skala Likert sebanyak 25 butir pernyataan yang telah diuji validitas dan reliabilitasnya (Cronbach’s Alpha = 0,958). Analisis data dilakukan menggunakan uji Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan adanya perbedaan signifikan antara skor kedisiplinan sebelum dan sesudah perlakuan dengan nilai Z = -5,197 dan sig. 0,000 (p < 0,05). Dengan demikian, layanan informasi yang dipadukan dengan teknik behavioral contract terbukti efektif dalam meningkatkan kedisiplinan siswa.

Review

This study presents an investigation into the effectiveness of combining information services with behavioral contract techniques to improve the discipline of 11th-grade students at SMK Negeri 1 Stabat. Utilizing a one-group pretest-posttest experimental design with 36 students, the research employed a validated Likert-scale questionnaire to measure student discipline before and after the intervention. The findings, analyzed using the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test, indicate a statistically significant increase in discipline scores post-intervention, leading to the conclusion that this integrated approach is effective. The research addresses a relevant practical issue in educational settings and provides clear quantitative results. A key strength of this research lies in its focus on a highly relevant and challenging area within education: student discipline. The proposed intervention, combining "layanan informasi" with a "behavioral contract," offers a specific and actionable strategy that could be adopted by educators and counselors. The methodology is clearly articulated, including the sample size, the use of a robustly validated instrument (Cronbach’s Alpha = 0.958), and an appropriate non-parametric statistical test for the data. The clear statistical results (Z = -5.197, p = 0.000) provide strong evidence for the observed effect within the confines of the study's design. However, a significant area for consideration lies in the methodological choice of a one-group pretest-posttest design. While demonstrating a change within the group, this design inherently lacks a control group, making it challenging to definitively attribute the observed improvement solely to the intervention. Factors such as maturation, historical events, or simply the awareness of being observed (Hawthorne effect) could also contribute to the change. For future studies, incorporating a control group or utilizing a more robust quasi-experimental design would significantly enhance the internal validity and strengthen the generalizability of the findings. Additionally, a brief elaboration on the specific content and delivery of the "layanan informasi" component would enrich the understanding of the intervention's precise nature. Despite this limitation, the study offers valuable preliminary evidence for a potentially effective strategy in fostering student discipline.
