Efek Sosial Psikologis Sistem Zonasi Penerimaan Siswa Baru di SMK

Abstract

This case study research has the aim of describing psychological reactions and psychological social impacts of the zoning system for new student admissions in SMK, using a qualitative approach. The research data were obtained from interviews with a class X SMK student in Surabaya (who experienced a zoning system when accepting new students), parents, teachers and community leaders (the head of the RT where the students live). The results of the interview showed that the subjects of this study did not agree with the zoning system in new student admissions because the zoning system limited the students who excelled to enter their favorite or desired schools, felt disappointed because with the zoning some parties felt disadvantaged because they had spent time to take lessons and have spent money to get into a favorite school and that has an impact on every individual affected by the zoning system. In conclusion, the zoning system has a psychological effect on individuals because it makes them disappointed and reduces the desire to achieve each individual.
