Using a qualitative, non-interactive approach with literary study methods. Methods of data analysis using meta-analysis with combination of content analysis and trend analysis techniques. The results showed that locus of control is one of the individual personality variables regarding belief in self-control over events experienced in self-determined life (internal locus of control) or controlled by the external locus of control. This theory was first proposed by Rotter which also offer the measurement and grouping instruments through Internal-External Scale. From a research perspective, the locus of control has an influence on the learning achievement of learners. Learners with internal locus of control have a better performance than the external group. Considering the importance of the focus of control in the development of education and learning, reorientation can be done by developing it in the management of learning difficulties. The process includes: identification of cases and problems, diagnosis, prognosis, remedial / referral, and evaluation and follow-up by integrating locus of control system.

Summary
Syatriadin STAI Al-Amin Dompu Abstract: The purpose of this research is to study the locus of control from the theoretical side, findings of research on locus of control in the context of education and learning and reorient it in management handling student learning difficulties. Hal ini didasari hasil penelitian Gabringer dan Johansen, sebagaimana dirujuk oleh Sihkabuden (1999: 24) yang menyimpulkan bahwa orientasi locus of controlberkorelasi positif dengan prestasi belajar yang dicapai seorang peserta didik. Jika orientasi locus of controlinternal menyatakan bahwa diri individu atau peserta didik menjadi pemegang kontrol atas keberhasilan dan kegagalan dalam meraih prestasi belajar, orientasi locus of controleksternal menyatakan sebaliknya. Orientasi locus of control dalam kategori ini mengacu pada keyakinan ataupun kecenderungan keyakinan bahwa peristiwa yang menyangkut diri individu ditentukan oleh faktor kebetulan atau nasib, bukan semata karena usaha dan kemampuan yang dimiliki. Kecenderungan ini mengakibatkan kurangnya motivasi dan usaha nyata dari diri peserta didik untuk melakukan perubahan, termasuk dalam upaya meraih prestasi belajar seoptimal mungkin sebagaimana yang diharapkan. Getting a good job depends mainly on hard work, luck has little or nothing being in the right place at the right time. Total skor kemudian dihitung untuk mengelompokkan locus of control responden dengan pengkategorian sebagaimana tertuang dalam tabel 2
