Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine the positive and significant influence of Classroom Management by Christian Education (PAK) Teachers on the Behavior of Grade VIII Students at SMP Negeri 2 Tarutung in the 2023/2024 Academic Year. The hypothesis of this study posits a positive and significant impact of Classroom Management by PAK Teachers on the Behavior of Grade VIII Students at SMP Negeri 2 Tarutung during the 2023/2024 school year. This study employs a quantitative approach with a descriptive-inferential design. The population consists of 166 students, with a 25% sample size yielding 40 students, selected using a random sampling technique. The research instrument consists of a closed-ended questionnaire with 40 items: 20 items for variable X (Classroom Management) and 20 items for variable Y (Student Behavior). This instrument was pilot-tested on 35 students outside the study sample. The results indicate a positive and significant effect of Classroom Management by PAK Teachers on Student Behavior in Grade VIII at SMP Negeri 2 Tarutung for the 2023/2024 Academic Year. Key findings include the following: (1) the correlation test shows that r_calculated > r_table, or 0.591 > 0.312; (2) the significance test shows that t_calculated > t_table, or 4.516 > 2.021; (3) the determination test indicates 34.93% variance explained; (4) the regression equation is obtained as Ŷ = 22.19 + 0.66X; and (5) the hypothesis test using the F-test indicates F_calculated > F_table (with α = 0.05, numerator df = 20, and denominator df = n-2 = 40-2 = 38), or 30.75 > 1.51. Consequently, the alternative hypothesis (H_a), which states a positive and significant influence of Classroom Management by PAK Teachers on the Behavior of Grade VIII Students at SMP Negeri 2 Tarutung in the 2023/2024 Academic Year, is accepted, and the null hypothesis (H₀) is rejected.
