The Effect of Learning Patterns on Students’ Academic Achievement of Class X At Pondok Pesantren Mizabul Ulum NW

Abstract

This study aims to investigate the effect of learning patterns on students’ academic achievement among Class X students at Pondok Pesantren Mizabul Ulum NW. Learning patterns are considered an important factor influencing students’ success because they shape study habits, time management, learning discipline, and students’ motivation in the learning process. In Islamic boarding schools, students face unique educational demands due to the integration of religious and general education subjects, making effective learning strategies highly necessary. This research used a quantitative correlational design involving 14 students as the research population. Data were collected through questionnaires and academic documentation. The questionnaire consisted of 20 Likert-scale items related to study preparation, time management, review activities, concentration, and self-evaluation. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and Pearson Product Moment correlation through SPSS version 25. The results revealed a moderate positive correlation between learning patterns and academic achievement with a correlation coefficient of r = 0.62 and significance level p < 0.05. The findings indicate that students who consistently apply structured learning patterns tend to obtain higher academic performance. Furthermore, the pesantren environment contributes positively to shaping students’ discipline and responsibility in learning activities. This study concludes that effective and self-regulated learning patterns significantly influence students’ academic achievement. Therefore, educators are encouraged to guide students in developing sustainable study habits and independent learning strategies to improve educational outcomes.
