Introduction

Pengaruh pelaksanaan pendidikan karakter berbasis nilai-nilai islam dan kemandirian siswa terhadap prestasi akademik di sekolah menengah pertama islam berbasis pesantren di smp modern al miftah. Telusuri pengaruh pendidikan karakter berbasis nilai Islam & kemandirian siswa terhadap prestasi akademik di SMP pesantren. Pahami pentingnya untuk kesuksesan belajar mereka.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of character education based on Islamic values and student independence on academic achievement in the pesantren environment. This study uses a quantitative approach with a survey method involving 100 students of Al Miftah Modern Junior High School as a research sample. Data was collected through a Likert scale questionnaire that had been tested for validity and reliability. The validity test results showed that all questionnaire items were valid with a significance value of < 0.05, while the reliability test produced a Cronbach's Alpha score of 0.285 for character education and 0.388 for student independence. The results of regression analysis showed that character education and student independence partially had a significant influence on academic achievement, with t-values of 71.909 and 85.738 respectively (Sig. < 0.001). Simultaneously, these two variables also had a significant effect on academic achievement with an F value of 15097.182 (Sig. < 0.001). This study shows the importance of character education and student independence in supporting students' academic success in the pesantren environment. These results contribute to the development of the pesantren curriculum that emphasizes character formation and student independence.

Review

The study "Pengaruh Pelaksanaan Pendidikan Karakter Berbasis Nilai-Nilai Islam dan Kemandirian Siswa Terhadap Prestasi Akademik di Sekolah Menengah Pertama Islam Berbasis Pesantren di SMP Modern Al Miftah" investigates the influence of Islamic values-based character education and student independence on academic achievement within a pesantren-based junior high school. Utilizing a quantitative survey approach with 100 students from Al Miftah Modern Junior High School, the research aims to contribute to understanding factors supporting academic success in this specific educational environment. The subject matter is highly relevant, offering insights into integrating character development with academic outcomes, particularly within the unique context of Islamic boarding schools. The methodology employed a Likert scale questionnaire, with reported validity tests showing all items as valid (Sig. < 0.05). However, a significant concern arises from the reliability test results. The Cronbach's Alpha scores for character education (0.285) and student independence (0.388) are critically low. Standard academic practice typically requires an Alpha value of at least 0.70 for an instrument to be considered reliable. These extremely low values indicate that the scales used to measure character education and student independence possess very poor internal consistency, meaning they likely did not consistently measure the intended constructs. While the study reports statistically significant findings from regression analysis (t-values of 71.909 and 85.738, and F-value of 15097.182, all with Sig. < 0.001) indicating an influence on academic achievement, the questionable reliability of the independent variables severely undermines the confidence that can be placed in these reported effects. Despite the stated implications regarding the importance of character education and student independence for curriculum development in pesantren environments, the fundamental methodological flaw concerning instrument reliability casts serious doubt on the robustness and generalizability of these conclusions. Without reliable measures, it is difficult to ascertain whether the observed relationships accurately reflect the true influence of character education and student independence. For future iterations or a revised submission, it is imperative that the research team thoroughly re-evaluate and, if necessary, redevelop their measurement instruments to achieve acceptable levels of reliability. Alternatively, if these instruments cannot be improved, the study should explicitly acknowledge this critical limitation and its severe impact on the interpretation of findings. Moving forward, exploring these relationships with robust and validated instruments or employing qualitative methods to gain a deeper understanding would be highly beneficial for contributing meaningfully to the field.
