Abstract

This research was conducted to know and test the relationship between grit and academic performance. Grit is the perseverance in maintaining a goal that is full of challenges and interests to achieve a long-term goal. Grit has two dimensions, consistency of interest and perseverance of effort. Meanwhile, academic performance is the result of efforts that someone has exerted in the learning process. For maximum results, it takes perseverance in learning process. The purpose of this study is to see the relationship between grit and academic performance in high school students during distance learning. The study participants were 352 students consisting of 115 boys and 237 girls from seven schools in Tangerang. The measuring instrument used to measure grit was 12 item - Grit Scale developed by Duckworth (2007). Meanwhile, academic performance was measured using GPA. Spearman Rho was used for statistical analysis used because the data were not normally distributed. The results show that there is no relationship between grit and academic performance with a value of r = 0.005 and p = 0.933 > 0.005. The results of the per-dimensional relationship test showed that the consistency of interest had no relationship with a value of r = 0.097 and p = 0.068 > 0.05. Meanwhile, for the perseverance of effort dimension, there is a relationship with a value of r = −0.111 and p = 0.037 < 0.05. This shows that perseverance can maintain an effort in achieving goals in high school students.
