Analisis Rendahnya Keterlibatan Siswa dalam Pembelajaran Bahasa Indonesia di Kelas Xi Ma Nahdlatul Ulama

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the low level of student engagement in Indonesian language learning among Grade XI students at MA Nahdlatul Ulama Kraksaan. A qualitative case study approach was employed. The study was conducted at MA Nahdlatul Ulama Kraksaan, involving 15 Grade XI students as subjects for observation, while interview informants consisted of three students, one Indonesian language teacher, and the school principal. Data were collected through observation, semi-structured interviews, and documentation, and subsequently analyzed using the Miles and Huberman model, which encompasses data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The results indicate that student engagement across behavioral, cognitive, and emotional aspects remains uneven. The most dominant internal factors are low learning motivation and a lack of understanding regarding the subject matter of scientific writing, whereas the most dominant external factor is the reliance on lecture-based teaching methods, which limits active student participation. Other factors influencing student engagement include emotional states, peer influence, and the characteristics of the Indonesian language subject itself. These conditions result in suboptimal learning interactions and hinder the achievement of learning objectives. Therefore, more interactive, collaborative, and student-centered teaching strategies are required to enhance student engagement in the learning process.
