ABSTRACT


This study investigated the predictive value of the Spok Tuah-Arahan Diri (STAD) for SMA students. In general, the findings of the study show that STAD has predictive value sufficient to predict the student’s success on some departments of studies, that is, on Natural Sciences Departments (IPA), Social Sciences Department (IPS), and Language Department. The STAD’s effective contribution on the student achievement is different within each student group. High correlation between those variables significantly occurred. Further discussion about the research findings is presented in this article.

Key words: predictive value, student’s success, department of study, STAD
