The Relationship Between the Role of Peer Groups and Learning Discipline Among Adolescents

Abstract

Education is a very important thing in life. Education can also create quality human resources. The concept is then used as the basis for lifelong education, namely informal education, formal education, and non-formal education that complement and strengthen each other. The learning process will be successful can be influenced by two factors, namely internal factors and external factors. Internal factors are factors that come from within the individual, for example the child's will and ability. External factors are factors that come from outside the individual, for example discipline and family conditions. The purpose of this study is to see whether the role of peer groups has a significant relationship with learning discipline in adolescents. The method used in this study is a quantitative method. This study involved 30 adolescents. The characteristics of the subjects that have been determined in this study are male and female, late adolescents with an age range of 18-20 years and educational status as students. Sampling was carried out using a non-probability sampling technique, namely the accidental sampling method. The measuring instruments used in this study were the peer group role scale and the learning discipline scale adapted by the researcher from previous research. The results of the hypothesis test of the role of peer groups with learning discipline in adolescents obtained r count = 0.506 with p = 0.004 (p <0.05). This shows a relationship between the role of peers (peer groups) and learning discipline in adolescents.
