Perilaku Membolos ‘Positif’ Siswa SMA di Kota Medan : Suatu Kajian Life History

Abstract

Ditching behavior is a form of juvenile delinquency that is often committed by adolescents during their transition period. Ditching behavior is a form of violation of school rules and regulations by students which can harm themselves, other people and also the school institution. The purpose of this study was to find out the forms, the driving factors behind students doing truant activities at school and the efforts that can be applied to minimize truancy rates in schools where the implementation of their use is based on related factors. The research method used in this research is qualitative. The subjects in this study were students of class XII, both Senior High school, Vocational School and Madrasah Aliyah. Data collection techniques in this study were in the form of observation and interviews as well as documentation. From the results of the study it was found that the causes of truant behavior were problems originating from family and economic factors. From the results of this study, a series of techniques were also carried out that could be used to minimize the increase in school truancy rates that could be applied, so that this technique could be used effectively by parents and families, schools, the environment and also the community.

In this research, it was found that internal factors, namely family harmony and the economy, greatly influenced the emergence of truancy in the rest of high school, namely 40% of students skipped classes due to problems in the family (internal/parents with parents and children with parents ) and 60% of students skip classes due to economic factors where students help parents to make ends meet and ease the burden on parents/become independent children. However, there are several ways that can be done to overcome the truancy that has become a habit, including using several techniques such as behavioral contract techniques, helper techniques and cooperation techniques.
