Analisis Faktor-Faktor yang Mempengaruhi Aktivitas Belajar Sejarah pada Siswa Kelas XI

Abstract

This study aims to thoroughly analyze the profile of students' learning activities in history subjects and identify the internal and external determinant factors influencing them in grade XI of SMK Minqotrotul Ulum Gumukmas during the 2025/2026 academic year. This research employed a descriptive qualitative approach oriented toward a contextual case study design. The selection of informants utilized a purposive sampling technique, involving one history teacher, nine students representing diverse learning activity strata, and the Vice Principal for Curriculum Affairs. Data collection was carried out through direct classroom observations, semi-structured in-depth interviews, and documentation studies. Data trustworthiness was tested through technique and source triangulations, while data analysis adopted the interactive flow model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña, encompassing data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing/verification. The results revealed a significant discrepancy between receptive and productive dimensions; students were actively listening, taking notes, and completing worksheets, yet productive-participatory activities such as asking critical questions, arguing, and expressing independent opinions remained low and centered on only a few students. This engagement was driven by internal factors including low perceived relevance of history to vocational competencies, minimal intrinsic motivation, and public speaking anxiety alongside external factors comprising limited variations in instructional methods, constrained projector facilities for audio-visual media, and physical fatigue stemming from intensive boarding school routines. In conclusion, enhancing history learning activities in boarding-based vocational schools requires the integration of vocational-contextual pedagogical approaches, equitable distribution of instructional technology facilities by school management, and adaptive classroom rhythm management.
