Korelasi dukungan orang tua dan teman sebaya dengan kecerdasan spiritual siswa sekolah menengah pertama

Abstract

Spiritual intelligence is a fundamental aspect of students' character development and is influenced by various factors, particularly parental support and the peer environment. Preliminary findings indicated that most junior high school students in Tigo Koto Silungkang Village exhibited a low level of spiritual intelligence, highlighting the need for empirical investigation into the relationship between these factors and students' spiritual intelligence. This study aimed to examine the relationships between parental support and spiritual intelligence, peer environment and spiritual intelligence, and the combined contribution of parental support and the peer environment to the spiritual intelligence of junior high school students in Tigo Koto Silungkang Village, Palembayan District, Agam Regency. A quantitative approach with a correlational research design was employed. The sample was selected using proportional random sampling. Data were collected through validated and reliable questionnaires and analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, and multiple regression analyses. The findings revealed a positive and statistically significant relationship between parental support and students' spiritual intelligence (p < .001, r = .426), as well as between the peer environment and students' spiritual intelligence (p < .001, r = .401), both indicating a moderate correlation. Furthermore, parental support and the peer environment jointly demonstrated a positive and statistically significant relationship with students' spiritual intelligence (p < .001, R = .525), also within the moderate category. The study concludes that stronger parental support and a more positive peer environment are associated with higher levels of students' spiritual intelligence. These findings underscore the importance of fostering collaboration among families, schools, and the broader social environment to enhance students' spiritual intelligence through religious value habituation, positive role modelling, effective communication, and the establishment of a supportive peer environment.

Kecerdasan spiritual merupakan aspek penting dalam pembentukan karakter peserta didik yang dipengaruhi oleh berbagai faktor, terutama dukungan orang tua dan lingkungan teman sebaya. Hasil pra-penelitian menunjukkan bahwa sebagian besar peserta didik tingkat SMP se-Nagari Tigo Koto Silungkang memiliki kecerdasan spiritual yang rendah, sehingga diperlukan penelitian untuk memperoleh bukti empiris mengenai hubungan kedua faktor tersebut dengan kecerdasan spiritual. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis hubungan antara dukungan orang tua dan lingkungan teman sebaya, baik secara parsial maupun simultan, dengan kecerdasan spiritual peserta didik tingkat SMP se-Nagari Tigo Koto Silungkang Kecamatan Palembayan Kabupaten Agam. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif dengan desain korelasional. Sampel penelitian ditentukan menggunakan teknik proportional random sampling. Data dikumpulkan melalui angket yang telah diuji validitas dan reliabilitasnya, kemudian dianalisis menggunakan statistik deskriptif, uji korelasi, dan regresi berganda. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan adanya hubungan positif dan signifikan antara dukungan orang tua dengan kecerdasan spiritual peserta didik (Sig. = 0,000; r = 0,426) serta antara lingkungan teman sebaya dengan kecerdasan spiritual (Sig. = 0,000; r = 0,401), keduanya berada pada kategori sedang. Secara simultan, dukungan orang tua dan lingkungan teman sebaya juga memiliki hubungan positif yang signifikan dengan kecerdasan spiritual (Sig. = 0,000; R = 0,525) pada kategori sedang. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa semakin baik dukungan orang tua dan lingkungan teman sebaya, semakin tinggi kecerdasan spiritual peserta didik. Temuan ini mengimplikasikan pentingnya sinergi keluarga, sekolah, dan lingkungan sosial dalam membentuk kecerdasan spiritual melalui keteladanan, pembiasaan nilai-nilai keagamaan, komunikasi yang efektif, dan lingkungan pergaulan yang positif.
