THE ROLE OF CLIMATE SCHOOL IN ACHIEVEMENT MOTIVATION AMONG SMART EKSELENSIA INDONESIA STUDENTS

Abstract

Achievement is one of school visions. There is a need to increase its quality and create outstanding graduates. School has been tried various ways to obtain more achievements such as changing the school climate to be more positive based on students’ perspective. However, the Covid-19 pandemic makes it difficult to change the perspective turning into unsignificant number of achievements. There is a need for a study to see the relationship between school climate and achievement motivation among students, especially in the context of boarding school. This research is conducted by quantitative non-experimental research with two kinds of questionnaire. There are 61 students of SMART Ekselensia in junior high school level as the participants who go through a purposeful sampling strategy. By using Pearson Correlation analysis, we find that the relationship between climate school and achievement motivation among SMART Ekselensia Indonesia students is not significant. The contribution is only 17,3% which mean a very small correlation. Internal factors such as unclear future goals and students’ complete dependence on institution are expected to be the causes of low correlation. Other than that, a low correlation is due to external factors such as students’ low expectations for school.
