Structural Equation Modelling: The Affecting of Learning Attitude on Learning Achievement of Students

Abstract

Student can obtain the high learning achievement because some factors. Those factors can appear from themselves or out of themselves. One of them is learning attitude of student. Learning attitude could be observed by some indicators. There were four indicators of learning attitudes, which were honesty, responsibility, discipline, and tolerance. The good learning attitude will give effect to learning achievement. Learning achievement is result of the learning process. There are several indicators to find out about students learning achievement. They are GPA, understanding of the concept, application and analysis. Learning achievement and learning attitude are unobserved variable, called latent variables. The method was used to analysis the latent variable in this research that was Structural Equation Modelling (SEM). It is combination from factor analysis, path analysis and regression. The aim of this research was to known affecting indicators from learning attitudes to learning achievement. The result showed that indicators of learning attitude had t-value more than 1.96 and that mean all of indicators in learning attitudes gave effect to the learning achievements.
