Pengaruh Penerapan Manajemen Waktu Terhadap Kedisiplinan Peserta Didik Di SMPN 02 Banjar Margo

The Prevalence of School Rule Violations, Such as Tardiness and Failure to Submit Daily Assignments Among Students, Stems from Poor Daily Time Management. This study aims to analyze the causal effect of implementing POAC-based (Planning, Organizing, Actuating, Controlling) time management on student discipline at SMPN 02 Banjar Margo. This associative quantitative design involved 102 eighth-grade students selected via purposive sampling. Data were collected using a structured Likert-scale questionnaire and analyzed using simple linear regression. The results showed that the average implementation of time management (mean = 46.771) and student discipline (mean = 49.194) fell into the high category. Regression analysis proved that time management has a positive and statistically significant causal effect on student discipline (Y = 24.170 + 0.535X; t_count = 8.015 > t_table = 1.984; p = 0.000), contributing an R-Square value of 39.1%. Practical implications require school leadership to issue POAC-based daily planners and self-regulation training modules to sustainably improve student discipline.
