The Impact of the School Environment on the Personality of Class XI IPS Students at SMA Pusaka 1 Jakarta

Abstract

Personality refers to the unique set of traits and qualities that distinguish one individual from another. Every person possesses a unique personality that is capable of adjusting and engaging with the surrounding environment. An individual's personality is shaped by the impact of their familial, communal, and educational surroundings. One benefit is that a conducive school environment can facilitate the attainment of educational objectives and have a favourable impact on student growth. The objective of this study was to assess the impact of the school environment on the personality traits of Class XI IPS students at SMA Pusaka 1 Jakarta. This research methodology employs a quantitative approach by utilising a questionnaire. The study focused on the population of class XI IPS students, consisting of 128 respondents. The data analysis in this study reveals strong results, as evidenced by the simple linear regression equation: Y = 4.775 + 0.609. The Pearson Product Moment correlation coefficient of 0.707 indicates a significant and robust association between variable X (school environment) and variable Y (personality). The study found that the school environment has a significant impact on students' personalities, accounting for 49.9% of the variation observed. The remaining 50.1% is attributed to other factors that were not investigated in this research. This is supported by the results of hypothesis testing, which indicate that the calculated t-value (11.209) is greater than the critical t-value (1.657) at a significance level of 5%. From this, it can be inferred that variable X (school environment) has a substantial impact on variable Y (student personality).
