Abstract


This study aimed to cover the various gaps from previous studies, which only focused on one factor. Furthermore, it measures the impact of three independent variables namely teacher values, classroom atmosphere, and student-teacher relationship towards student attitude. This is a quantitative study using hypothesis analysis with the respondents comprising of 72 teachers and 72 students from three junior high schools in Belitung regency. The data obtained was examined using the multivariate analysis. However, the result showed that amongst the three variables, only the classroom atmosphere provided a significant impact on student attitude. Based on the simultaneous testing of regression, the combination among X1 and X2, X1 and X3, as well as X1, X2, X3 also provided an impact to their attitude. This finding needs further study capable of identifying factors which arises in the classroom atmosphere since it is the only factor that significantly impacts on student attitude. In addition, similar studies with a more significant number of respondents such as teachers or students also need to be conducted to determine why the outcome is different differs from previous studies.
