The Relationship of Strengthening Character Education (PPK) Towards Mathematics Learning Outcomes in Class IV

The attitude of students who play when learning activities take place, cheat during tests, do not bring stationery, do not do homework, and are not obedient to school discipline rules when learning Mathematics can cause low Mathematics learning outcomes for grade IV students. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the relationship between strengthening character education and learning outcomes of fourth grade elementary school students. This research was an Expost-Facto study by correlating the strengthening of variable character education (X) and variable mathematics learning outcomes (Y). The population in this study were all class IV students as many as 202 students. The number of samples in this study were 108 students obtained through saturated sampling technique. The data collection method in this study was to use a questionnaire to obtain data on the effect of strengthening character education and document recording to obtain the value of Mathematics learning outcomes for fourth grade elementary school students. The analysis prerequisite tests in this study were the normality test of the data distribution, the linearity test, and the hypothesis testing using simple regression techniques. The analysis of this research showed that the r table value can be obtained with the degrees of freedom (df = N-2). At a significance level of 5% and df = 108-2 = 116, the r table is 0.189, while rcount = 0.98. Because rcount> rtabel, this means that there is a significant relationship between strengthening character education on Mathematics learning outcomes of Grade IV Elementary School Students. The implication of strengthening character education in Mathematics learning is teachers have the opportunity to increase character values such as discipline, honesty, hard work, creativity and responsibility.
