KEMANDIRIAN BELAJAR MAHASISWA PENDIDIKAN TEKNIK MESIN DITINJAU DARI ASAL SEKOLAH, TEMPAT TINGGAL, DAN LAMA STUDI

Abstrak / Ringkasan

The system employing semester credit units requires students'
good self-regulated learning in order that they attain learning goals
successfully. The present article concerns a research aimed at
knowing (1) of what level mechanical engineering students' self-
dependence in learning was as seen from both their self-stated views
about their self-regulated learning and their self-regulated learning
in practice; (2) whether there was any difference in level of self-regulated learning among those having different types of high school
educational background; (3) whether there was any difference in
level of self-regulated learning among those having studied for
different numbers of semesters; and (4) whether the environment
where they live influences their self-dependence in learning, or, in
other words, their self-regulated learning.
The research employed a positivistic approach which was
exploratory in nature. The population consisted of 254 students of
the Mechanical Engineering Education Study Program, Faculty of
Engineering, State University of Yogyakarta, who were taking
courses in one even-numbered semester or another in the academic
year of 2005/2006. The sample size was 228 and the research
subjects were randomly selected. The data were compiled by using a
closed self-report type of questionnaire using a Linkert-type scale
model. The data were analyzed by means of non-parametric
statistics using the Kruskal-Wallis Test and the Mann-Whitney U
Test since the data distribution did not fulfill the inferential
parametric analysis assumption.
