Abstract


This study examines the differences in learning activity and autonomy between Grade 11 students in the boarding and non-boarding programs at SMAN 2 Balige. Total sampling was conducted from a population of 180 students; 90 students were in the boarding program, while the remaining 90 were in the non-boarding program. Data was gathered through two questionnaires focusing on learning activity and autonomy. The findings also showed that boarding students demonstrated higher learning autonomy than their non-boarding peers, as proved by the positive and significant value of an independent paired t-test. These results carry important policy implications for leveraging the benefits of dormitory programs to enhance educational oversight and performance.
