The Effect of the Science and Technology Development on the Students’ Learning Achievement of Grade XI Students at SMK Teladan Pematangsiantar

Abstract

This study aims to determine the influence of the development of science and technology on the students’ achievement of grade XI at SMK TELADAN Pematangsiantar. This research was conducted at SMK TELADAN Pematangsiantar, the population is all the students of class XI as many as 83 students. The instrument used to measure the variable X was in the form of a questionnaire, while to measure the variable Y, it was seen from the school documentation in the form of a list of scores in odd semester. The Data analysis techniques used to determine the relationship between variable X and variable Y are Product Moment Correlations. From these calculations, the results obtained r count = 0.618 means the influence of the development of science and technology (variable X) on student achievement (variable Y) is categorized as strong. To test the hypothesis the t-test is used. From the calculations, it was obtained; t-count 7.07 which is then compared with t-table at the significant level of 95% or alpha 5% and degrees of freedom (df = n - 2, 83 - 2 = 81) with a value of t-count> t-table or 7.07> 1.67 Thus the hypothesis is accepted, namely: There is a significant effect between the development of science and technology on students’ learning achievement of class XI at SMK Teladan Pematangsiantar.
