The Analysis of Students’ Discipline Character in Mathematics Learning

Abstract

Mathematics learning is one of the lessons which demands the students’ discipline because it is a constructed subject. However, teachers often ignore the students’ discipline during Mathematics learning. Thus, the students do not possess the discipline character. This survey research aims to describe the level of elementary school students’ discipline character in Mathematics subject. All elementary schools in Berbah Sub-District, Yogyakarta were included as the population of this research. The purposive sampling technique was used to collect the data. The result of this study indicates that 48.70% of students have low discipline character in learning Mathematics. From the aspect of discipline character, the percentage of the obedience aspect is 50.61% (low). The percentage of orderly aspect is 50.26% (low), and the percentage of meticulous aspects is 44.41% (low). The elementary school students discipline in learning Mathematics in each elementary school is as follows: Elementary Schools SD Negeri Berbah 2 (47.50%), SD Negeri Jomblang 2 (46.25%), and SD Negeri Sumber 1 (52.36%). From the results of the research, it can be concluded generally that the level of elementary students’ discipline character is still low. It leads to less effective and efficient learning processes.
