The relationship between peer association and interest in learning against student learning outcomes

Abstract

This study is motivated by low student learning outcomes in learning mathematics. This study aimed to determine whether there is a relationship between peers and learning interests in student learning outcomes in mathematics. This study uses a descriptive method with a quantitative approach. The population in this study was 25 students from class VIIa and 30 students from class VIIb, while the sample in this study was 30 students from that class selected by a simple random sampling technique. This type of research is quantitative descriptive research. The data collection instruments used in this study were observations, interviews, response questionnaires from students to determine the effect of peer relations and student interest in learning outcomes, and documentation. The data collected were then analyzed using multiple correlations. The results showed that: (1) There was a significant relationship between peer association and learning outcomes in mathematics using Pearson correlation analysis. (2-tailed) variable X1 is 0.004 < Sig. variable Y of 0.005; (2) There is a significant relationship between learning interest and learning outcomes in mathematics with Pearson correlation analysis. The count value of the X2 variable is 0.471 >, the average value of the variable Y is 0.361, and the value of Sig. (2-tailed) variable X 2 is 0.009 < Sig. variable Y of 0.005; (3) There is a significant relationship between peer association and learning interest in student learning outcomes with simultaneous test results (F) obtained an F-count of 4.965 > F-table 3.34 and a significance value (Sig.) 0.15 < Probability value of 0.05.
