Analisis Tingkat Keaktifan Siswa Kelas XI dalam Proses Pembelajaran di SMA Free Methodist

Abstract

Student activeness is one of the essential elements in the learning process because it reflects the level of students' physical, cognitive, and emotional involvement during learning activities. This study aims to analyze the level of activeness of eleventh-grade students at Free Methodist Senior High School, identify the forms of participation demonstrated by students, and examine the factors influencing their engagement in learning. This research employed a descriptive qualitative approach involving one Economics teacher and three eleventh-grade students as research subjects. Data were collected through observations and interviews. The findings revealed that student activeness was reflected in various learning activities, such as answering questions, participating in quizzes, completing assignments, taking notes, and engaging in classroom discussions. The level of student activeness was influenced by internal factors, including learning motivation, interest, self-confidence, and the ability to understand learning materials. In addition, external factors such as the learning strategies implemented by the teacher, classroom environment, social support, and family conditions also affected student participation. The study found that the use of varied teaching methods, the provision of motivation and rewards, as well as a personal approach by teachers, could enhance student engagement in the learning process. Therefore, teachers play a crucial role in creating a conducive, interactive, and enjoyable learning environment to improve the quality of learning and students' academic outcomes.
