THE CORRELATION BETWEEN STUDENTS’ STUDY TIME AT DORMITORY WITH THEIR LEARNING ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT IN STKIP KRISTEN WAMENA

Abstract

This researcher is categorized as correlation research. In this research there are two variables. Variable X is the students’ study time and Variable Y is the students learning academic achievement. The topic in this research is the correlation between the students’ study time at dormitory toward the students’ academic achievement. And then there are two questions namely: 1) Is there any correlation between the students’ study time and their learning academic achievement? 2) How significant is the correlation between the students’ study time and their reading ability? So the researcher had given the some questions by using questionnaire. The searcher has taken the data was at STKIP KW dormitory.

The researcher had counted the distribution scores to see the distribution is normal or not normal. If the distribution score is normal, the researcher uses the formula of person product moment. And then distribution score is not normal, the researcher uses the formula of Carl Spearman rank. The researcher had calculated the distribution of the data using formula of Chi Square (x²) and found that the distribution of study time and learning academic achievement. So the researcher had calculated it with Carl Spearman’s formula and the result was 0,000. Based on the coefficient category, this coefficient level was categorized very low correlation.

Compared to the rs (rho) table, the researcher had found that rs count was 0,000 and rs table was 1,271. So we had known that H0 is accepted if rs count >rs (rho) table; H1 is ejected if rs count <rs (rho) table. So it means H0 accepted meanwhile H1 is rejected. The researcher had concluded that there was low and significant correlation between the study time and their learning academic achievement.
