MANAJEMEN SDM REMAJA: STRATEGI MENGELOLA WAKTU DAN DISIPLIN DALAM MENINGKATKAN PRESTASI SISWA/I SMKN 1

Abstract

ABSTRAK

Manajemen waktu dan disiplin merupakan kemampuan dasar yang berperan penting dalam meningkatkan prestasi akademik siswa, terutama pada tingkat sekolah menengah kejuruan yang memiliki beban pembelajaran teoretis dan praktis secara bersamaan. Berdasarkan observasi awal di SMKN 1 Ciruas, ditemukan bahwa sebagian besar siswa belum mampu mengelola waktu belajar secara efektif, masih memiliki kebiasaan menunda tugas, kurang konsisten mengikuti jadwal, serta rendah dalam kesadaran pentingnya kedisiplinan. Kegiatan Pengabdian Kepada Masyarakat (PKM) ini bertujuan memperkuat kemampuan siswa dalam mengatur waktu dan membentuk disiplin belajar melalui pendekatan *experiential learning. Metode kegiatan meliputi ceramah interaktif, diskusi kelompok, simulasi, role-play, penyusunan jadwal belajar, serta refleksi diri. Untuk mengukur keberhasilan program, dilakukan pre-test, post-test, observasi perilaku, dan refleksi siswa. Hasil evaluasi menunjukkan peningkatan pemahaman manajemen waktu sebesar 35% dan peningkatan aspek kedisiplinan sebesar 31%. Selain itu, perilaku siswa mengalami perubahan positif, seperti datang tepat waktu, pengurangan penundaan tugas, dan meningkatnya kemampuan menyusun prioritas belajar. Temuan ini menegaskan bahwa pendekatan berbasis pengalaman efektif dalam membentuk perilaku dan kebiasaan belajar jangka panjang. Program serupa direkomendasikan untuk menjadi kegiatan pembinaan rutin di sekolah.

Kata Kunci : Manajemen waktu, disiplin belajar, prestasi siswa, experiential learning.

ABSTRACT

Time management and discipline are essential components that strongly influence students’ academic success, particularly at vocational high schools where learning activities combine theory, practice, and fieldwork. Many students struggle to organize their daily schedules, prioritize academic tasks, and maintain consistent discipline, which leads to procrastination, decreased productivity, and lower learning outcomes. Similar challenges were identified among students at SMKN 1 Ciruas, where several students demonstrated irregular study habits, difficulty completing tasks on time, and limited awareness of the importance of self-management. To address these issues, this Community Service Program (PKM) was conducted by providing experiential learning–based training focused on improving students’ time management and discipline. The training consisted of interactive lectures, group discussions, priority-setting simulations, guided scheduling exercises, and personal reflection sessions. Evaluation results indicate a significant improvement in students’ understanding and application of time management concepts. A comparison of pre-test and post-test scores shows an average increase of 35% in time management comprehension and 31% in discipline-related aspects. Teacher observations further reveal positive changes in student behavior, including better punctuality, timely submission of assignments, and reduced procrastination. These findings highlight the effectiveness of the experiential learning approach, which allows students to directly engage in practical activities that strengthen behavioral change. Overall, the training successfully enhanced students’ self-regulation skills and learning discipline. The program is recommended to be implemented regularly as part of the school’s character development initiatives to support long-term improvements in student behavior and academic performance.
