INTRODUCTION
Name of State Senior High School 1 Purworejo is no stranger in the area
of Purworedjo particularly, also in Central Java province, and even at the national
level. State Senior High School 1 Purworejo formerly named SMA B/C Kedu
Selatan in Purworedjo. It was built based on the initiative, effort and struggle of
Keluarga Besar Tentara Pelajar (KBTP) Det III Brigade 17 in 1954. Later
became SMA Negara Purworejo in 1955. At the time, it was the only state high
school in the South Kedu, even being the only high schools in Indonesia that were
located in the capital of district, because in general, the State High School was
located in the capital of residency or the provincial capital.
At the beginning of the school year of 1954/1955, State Senior High
School 1 Purworejo accepted students in four classes, and the classroom stayed in
SR Cemara, then by Regent of Purworedjo given a more viable space in Gedung
Balai Rakyat (Hall of the People), and now occupies an ideal school complex in
Kutoarjo street (now Tentara Pelajar 55 street), Middle Pangenjuru village. And
now, it becomes the local assets as the top school and favorite school.
State Senior High School 1 Purworejo progress is increasingly visible
since the decade of the 80s with the success of students that are accepted in public
universities. At that time was ranged about 50-60% for graduated students who
accepted. Now, after more than half a century, in 2012 approximately 92% of
students accepted in the favorite public and private colleges and also State official
Academy, from the graduation rate is always hundred percent.
Curriculum dynamics at State Senior High School 1 Purworejo amended
eight times during the long journey of national education in the era of
independence until today: (1) 1947 Lesson Plans, (2) 1964 Lesson Plans, (3) 1968
Curriculum, (4) 1975 curriculum, (5) 1984 Curriculum, (6) 1994 Curriculum, (7)
2004 curriculum, and (8) the Education Unit Level Curriculum and its
development.
Learning is essentially a process of interaction between students with
students, students with learning resources and students with educators. These
learning activities will be meaningful to students if it is done in a comfortable
environment and provides a sense of security. The learning process is individual
2
and contextual. This means that learning occurs within the individual in
accordance with its development and the environment.
In teaching and learning activities, students are the subject and object of
those activities. Therefore, the core of teaching process is the students’ activities
of learning to achieve the objectives. Of course the teaching objectives will be
achieved if the students are active to achieve it. Djamarah (2004: 44) states that
learning is essentially "changes" that occur in a person after the expiration of
learning activities. Despite not all changes including the category learning.
Learning is essentially a conscious activity by a person who produces
behavioral changes in themselves, either in the form of new knowledge and skills,
in the form of positive attitudes and values. Hamalik (2010: 45) defines learning
as a change in behavior through activities, practices and experiences. In the world
of teacher, learning is very important, because it involves the teaching and
learning process. In the learning process, the parties directly involved are students
and teachers. The teacher serves as a teacher, while the students as individuals
who learn and be required to obtain maximum learning achievement.
Slameto (2010: 73) argues, "Many students fail to learn because they do
not have the result of a good learning culture. They mostly just memorize the
lessons". Many people learn with difficulty, but did not get any results, only
failures are encountered. The cause is because they have irregular and
undisciplined learning, as well as less excited, do not know how to focus on
studying, ignore timing issues in learning, not enough rest and sleep.
Learning difficulties are not only caused by low intelligence, but also nonintelligence factors. These factors can be derived from the student (internal) or
from outside the student (external). Internal factors that can lead to learning
difficulties such as health factor, disability, intelligence, talents, interests, mental
health, and special types of learning. While external factors, it can be in the form
of the influence of family environment, school and community (Ahmadi and
Supriyono, 2004: 78).
State Senior High School 1 Purworejo is the excellent school in
Purworedjo. To achieve the school’s target of quality, in this globalization era,

not limited by space and time so that it can be used anywhere and anytime,
although the existence of multimedia is not limited by the space and time of
teacher and students. While in the learning process required the interaction
between teachers and students.

of instructional multimedia in e-Learning: A Media Richness Theory-based
approach". The research discusses the development of computer and internet
technology in learning. The use of computers and Internet is called e-learning
which is one of the important methods of learning. The use of multimedia in
learning is able to attract students’ attention in participating the teaching and
learning activity. Although the use of multimedia requires no small cost so that
not all schools use it in learning.
Jian Wang, Emily Lin, and Elizabeth Spalding (2008) in their study
entitled "Learning Effective Instructional Strategies in a Workshop Context:
Lessons about Conceptual Change from Chinese English Teachers". This study
discusses the use of learning strategies by teachers. Use of learning strategies can
help teachers in the learning process so that there is an increase of student

Sunday A. Adeyemo (2010) in his study entitled " The relationship

their achievement in physics". Results of this study suggest that there is a positive
relationship between students who take extracurricular with students’ academic
achievement. The reason is that by joining extracurricular activities can help
students to channel their interests and talents to excel.
Stephanie E. Pitts (2008) in his study entitled "Extra-curricular Music in

in extracurricular activities particularly the music in the UK School. The results

person helps to improve his intelligence that makes that person to be creative,
insightful, making or breaking the rules of thought.
King, Mara and Decicco (2012) in their study entitled "Connecting the
Spiritual and Emotional Intelligences: Confirming an Intelligence Criterion and
Assessing the Role of Empathy" stated that there is a significant relationship
between emotional intelligence and spiritual intelligence.
Tadkiroatun musfiroh (as cited by Arismantoro, 2008: 34), in a study
entitled "Character Building," stated that the educational method through the left
brain with the memorization concept (memorization in learning), mechanical in
the form of a drill, should be changed with methods that more emphasis on right
brain with feelings, love, and habituation and practice virtue in the family and
school.
Based on the previous explanation, the writer was interested in doing a

METHOD
Based on the research focus, the right kind of research was a qualitative or
naturalistic research. With naturalistic research, the situation on the ground will
still be natural, reasonable, and there is no manipulation, adjustment, or
experimentation (Harsono, 2008: 155).
This study used an ethnographic approach. Ethnographic research activity
involves learning about the world of people who have learned to see, hear, speak,
think, and act in different ways. So ethnographic does not only study
communities, but more than that, an ethnographic learns from the community
(Spradley, 2007: 4).
The study entitled Students’ Characteristic of Learning was done at State
Senior High School 1 Purworejo. The reason of the writer to choose State Senior
High School 1 Purworejo is because the school is an Ex-RSBI school and an
6
excellent school in Purworejo Regency, as well as having the good achievements
both in academic and non-academic fields.
Sources of data in this investigation were the principal, teachers and
students at State Senior High School 1 Purworejo. Data collection method used in
depth-interview, observation, and documentation. Spradley (cited by Harsono,
2008: 162) said that in-depth interviews can have a meaning of combination
between the descriptive, structural, and contrast questions. Observation is a
technique or a way of collecting data by observing ongoing activities
(Sukmadinata, 2007:220). Documents is indispensable as an instrument to find the
source of the data for the document can be used to examine, interpret, even to
predict. A documentary study is a data collection technique to collect and analyze
documents, whether written, images or electronic documents (Sukmadinata,
2007:221).
Data analysis techniques used in this research is an interactive model of
analysis. According to Miles and Huberman (2004:16), this model has three
analysis components—data reduction, data display and drawing conclusion that
are done by an interactive form with a data collection process as a cycle.
Qualitative way of thinking is that the information can be categorized as
valid information if it has a same information characteristic with several sources
(Harsono, 2011: 35). To test whether the data are valid or not, this study used a
triangulation. Triangulation used in this research is the triangulation of source,
that is by compare and re-check the degree of confidence of any information that
gained through time and different tools in qualitative research

effective teaching and learning process based on the philosophy to make a strong
school leadership with a strong and dynamic teamwork and a culture of quality,
8
being supported by safe and orderly environment, and upholding the principle of

Characteristics of learning at State Senior High School 1 Purworejo are
done in a multimedia-based learning. The point is, multimedia is a combination of
several elements of information that can be text, images, sound, animation, and
video. Multimedia learning is usually by utilizing Internet. The goal is to develop
students' knowledge of the subject matter that is not well understood.
The use of multimedia in learning is very helpful to teachers and students
in teaching and learning process. A study conducted by Malik and Agarwal
(2012), entitled "Use of Multimedia as a New Educational Technology Tool-A
Study ". This study discusses the use of multimedia in learning. The use of
multimedia in learning is not limited by space and time so that it can be used
anywhere and anytime, although the existence of multimedia is not limited by the
space and time of teacher and students. While in the learning process required the
interaction between teachers and students.
There are similarities and differences between research conducted by
Malik and Agarwal (2012) with the results of this study. Both of those studies
discussed about the use of multimedia in learning in which the use of multimedia
in learning is not limited by space and time, so that it can be used anywhere and
anytime. And the difference is in the research of Malik and Agarwal (2012) does
not explain the type of multimedia such as what is used in learning.

approach". The research discusses the development of computer and internet
9
technology in learning. The use of computers and Internet is called e-learning
which is one of the important methods of learning. The use of multimedia in
learning is able to attract students’ attention in participating the teaching and
learning activity. Although the use of multimedia requires no small cost so that
not all schools use it in learning.
There are similarities and differences between the research of Chen Sung
and Kenny Cheng (2005) with the results of this study. Both of those studies
discussed about the use of the internet and computers in e-learning. The difference
is that in this study does not discuss about the implementation of learning and how
to use e-learning.
In learning activities, it requires the instructional models that are tailored

their achievement in physics". Results of this study suggest that there is a positive
relationship between students who take extracurricular with students’ academic
achievement. The reason is that by joining extracurricular activities can help
students to channel their interests and talents to excel.

in extracurricular activities particularly the music in the UK School. The results

The Characteristics of Excellent For Student Learning Both In Academic
And Non-Academic Fields at State Senior High School 1 Purworejo
Spiritual or emotional intelligence is an intelligence to deal with issues of
meaning or value to put our lives and behavior in the context of the broader
meaning and rich.
Danar Zohar (2007: 4) defines spiritual intelligence is intelligence that
rests on the inside of us that relates to the wisdom beyond the ego, or conscious
soul. This is the intelligence that we use not only know the values that exist but
also to creatively find new values. Goleman (2004: 45) describes emotional
intelligence as the ability to recognize our own feelings and others, the ability to
12
motivate ourselves, and the ability to manage emotions in ourselves and in
relationships with others.
A study conducted by King, Mara and Decicco (2012) in their study
entitled "Connecting the Spiritual and Emotional Intelligences: Confirming an
Intelligence Criterion and Assessing the Role of Empathy" stated that there is a
significant relationship between emotional intelligence and spiritual intelligence.
The reason is the high spiritual intelligence and emotional intelligence of a person
then that person is able to control its emotion and maximize potential.
The research of King, Mara and Decicco (2012) has similarities and
differences with the results of this study. Both of those studies discussed about the
spiritual intelligence. The difference is that this study described what spiritual
intelligence obtained by the students at the school.
Spiritual Quotient (SQ) and Emotional Quotient (EQ) are the necessary
foundation for functioning IQ effectively. SQ and EQ are needed to give a
spiritual meaning to the thought, behavior and activities in a comprehensive
manner. This is consistent with the view that if the ratio and emotion gives human
the technical advantages and needed to navigate the world of life, so spirituality
gives meaning to human actions. In education, it requires the activities to increase
the SQ and EQ of students.
Another study conducted by Srivastava and Misra (2012) in their study
entitled " Is Spriritual Quotient A Beter Tool Of Success: Spirituality In The New
World Order " states that between IQ, EQ and SQ influence each other. The
presence of SQ and EQ in a person helps to improve his intelligence that makes
that person to be creative, insightful, making or breaking the rules of thought.
Research of Srivastava and Misra (2012) has similarities and differences
with the results of this study. Both of those studies discussed about the
relationship between intellectual intelligence and spiritual intelligence. The
difference is, in this study, the relationship between intellectual intelligence and
spiritual intelligence are completed by the evidence of the relationship i.e.
students who have high spiritual intelligence have more understanding that
learning is one of the tasks students should do. And it is proved by the increasing
score of the lesson.

INTRODUCTION
Name of State Senior High School 1 Purworejo is no stranger in the area
of Purworedjo particularly, also in Central Java province, and even at the national
level. State Senior High School 1 Purworejo formerly named SMA B/C Kedu
Selatan in Purworedjo. It was built based on the initiative, effort and struggle of
Keluarga Besar Tentara Pelajar (KBTP) Det III Brigade 17 in 1954. Later
became SMA Negara Purworejo in 1955. At the time, it was the only state high
school in the South Kedu, even being the only high schools in Indonesia that were
located in the capital of district, because in general, the State High School was
located in the capital of residency or the provincial capital.
At the beginning of the school year of 1954/1955, State Senior High
School 1 Purworejo accepted students in four classes, and the classroom stayed in
SR Cemara, then by Regent of Purworedjo given a more viable space in Gedung
Balai Rakyat (Hall of the People), and now occupies an ideal school complex in
Kutoarjo street (now Tentara Pelajar 55 street), Middle Pangenjuru village. And
now, it becomes the local assets as the top school and favorite school.
State Senior High School 1 Purworejo progress is increasingly visible
since the decade of the 80s with the success of students that are accepted in public
universities. At that time was ranged about 50-60% for graduated students who
accepted. Now, after more than half a century, in 2012 approximately 92% of
students accepted in the favorite public and private colleges and also State official
Academy, from the graduation rate is always hundred percent.
Curriculum dynamics at State Senior High School 1 Purworejo amended
eight times during the long journey of national education in the era of
independence until today: (1) 1947 Lesson Plans, (2) 1964 Lesson Plans, (3) 1968
Curriculum, (4) 1975 curriculum, (5) 1984 Curriculum, (6) 1994 Curriculum, (7)
2004 curriculum, and (8) the Education Unit Level Curriculum and its
development.
Learning is essentially a process of interaction between students with
students, students with learning resources and students with educators. These
learning activities will be meaningful to students if it is done in a comfortable
environment and provides a sense of security. The learning process is individual
2
and contextual. This means that learning occurs within the individual in
accordance with its development and the environment.
In teaching and learning activities, students are the subject and object of
those activities. Therefore, the core of teaching process is the students’ activities
of learning to achieve the objectives. Of course the teaching objectives will be
achieved if the students are active to achieve it. Djamarah (2004: 44) states that
learning is essentially "changes" that occur in a person after the expiration of
learning activities. Despite not all changes including the category learning.
Learning is essentially a conscious activity by a person who produces
behavioral changes in themselves, either in the form of new knowledge and skills,
in the form of positive attitudes and values. Hamalik (2010: 45) defines learning
as a change in behavior through activities, practices and experiences. In the world
of teacher, learning is very important, because it involves the teaching and
learning process. In the learning process, the parties directly involved are students
and teachers. The teacher serves as a teacher, while the students as individuals
who learn and be required to obtain maximum learning achievement.
Slameto (2010: 73) argues, "Many students fail to learn because they do
not have the result of a good learning culture. They mostly just memorize the
lessons". Many people learn with difficulty, but did not get any results, only
failures are encountered. The cause is because they have irregular and
undisciplined learning, as well as less excited, do not know how to focus on
studying, ignore timing issues in learning, not enough rest and sleep.
Learning difficulties are not only caused by low intelligence, but also nonintelligence factors. These factors can be derived from the student (internal) or
from outside the student (external). Internal factors that can lead to learning
difficulties such as health factor, disability, intelligence, talents, interests, mental
health, and special types of learning. While external factors, it can be in the form
of the influence of family environment, school and community (Ahmadi and
Supriyono, 2004: 78).
State Senior High School 1 Purworejo is the excellent school in
Purworedjo. To achieve the school’s target of quality, in this globalization era,
State Senior High School 1 Purworejo implements the effective teaching and
3
learning process that is based on the philosophy of making strong school
leadership with a strong and dynamic teamwork and a culture of quality,
supported by the safe and orderly environment, and uphold the principle of
accountability reflected in the vision and mission of the school.
State Senior High School 1 Purworejo prepares students based on the
National Standards of Education (SNP) in Indonesia and international level so that
graduates are expected to have the capability of international competitiveness.
Average test scores of students ranked first in district level and the eight in
provincial level. This shows that the students of State Senior High School 1
Purworejo have a good character study.
There are several previous studies according to students’ characteristic of
learning, such as the study of Malik and Agarwal (2012) in their study entitled
"Use of Multimedia as a New Educational Technology Tool-A Study ". This study
discusses the use of multimedia in learning. The use of multimedia in learning is
not limited by space and time so that it can be used anywhere and anytime,
although the existence of multimedia is not limited by the space and time of
teacher and students. While in the learning process required the interaction
between teachers and students.
Kenny Chen Sung and Cheng (2005), in their study entitled " The design
of instructional multimedia in e-Learning: A Media Richness Theory-based
approach". The research discusses the development of computer and internet
technology in learning. The use of computers and Internet is called e-learning
which is one of the important methods of learning. The use of multimedia in
learning is able to attract students’ attention in participating the teaching and
learning activity. Although the use of multimedia requires no small cost so that
not all schools use it in learning.
Jian Wang, Emily Lin, and Elizabeth Spalding (2008) in their study
entitled "Learning Effective Instructional Strategies in a Workshop Context:
Lessons about Conceptual Change from Chinese English Teachers". This study
discusses the use of learning strategies by teachers. Use of learning strategies can
help teachers in the learning process so that there is an increase of student
achievement.

Sunday A. Adeyemo (2010) in his study entitled " The relationship
between students’ participation in school based extracurricular activities and
their achievement in physics". Results of this study suggest that there is a positive
relationship between students who take extracurricular with students’ academic
achievement. The reason is that by joining extracurricular activities can help
students to channel their interests and talents to excel.
Stephanie E. Pitts (2008) in his study entitled "Extra-curricular Music in
UK Schools: Investigating the Aims, Experiences and Impact of Adolescent
Musical Participation". This study discusses the impact of students' participation
in extracurricular activities particularly the music in the UK School. The results
showed that the participation of students in extracurricular activities can provide a
positive impact that is students’ skill improvement in playing music characterized
by the enhancement of achievement obtained.
Srivastava and Misra (2012) in their study entitled " Is Spriritual Quotient
A Beter Tool Of Success: Spirituality In The New World Order " states that
between IQ, EQ and SQ influence each other. The presence of SQ and EQ in a
person helps to improve his intelligence that makes that person to be creative,
insightful, making or breaking the rules of thought.
King, Mara and Decicco (2012) in their study entitled "Connecting the
Spiritual and Emotional Intelligences: Confirming an Intelligence Criterion and
Assessing the Role of Empathy" stated that there is a significant relationship
between emotional intelligence and spiritual intelligence.
Tadkiroatun musfiroh (as cited by Arismantoro, 2008: 34), in a study
entitled "Character Building," stated that the educational method through the left
brain with the memorization concept (memorization in learning), mechanical in
the form of a drill, should be changed with methods that more emphasis on right
brain with feelings, love, and habituation and practice virtue in the family and
school.
Based on the previous explanation, the writer was interested in doing a
research entitled ―Students’ characteristic of learning at State Senior High School
1 Purworejo."
5
There were three research subfocuses. Those are (1) How are students’
characteristics of learning in the academic field at State Senior High School 1
Purworejo?; (2) How are students’ characteristics of learning in non-academic
field at State Senior High School 1 Purworejo?; and (3) How are the

field at State Senior High School 1 Purworejo. (3) To describe the characteristics
of excellent in student learning both in academic and non-academic fields at State
Senior High School 1 Purworejo.
METHOD
Based on the research focus, the right kind of research was a qualitative or
naturalistic research. With naturalistic research, the situation on the ground will
still be natural, reasonable, and there is no manipulation, adjustment, or
experimentation (Harsono, 2008: 155).
This study used an ethnographic approach. Ethnographic research activity
involves learning about the world of people who have learned to see, hear, speak,
think, and act in different ways. So ethnographic does not only study
communities, but more than that, an ethnographic learns from the community
(Spradley, 2007: 4).
The study entitled Students’ Characteristic of Learning was done at State
Senior High School 1 Purworejo. The reason of the writer to choose State Senior
High School 1 Purworejo is because the school is an Ex-RSBI school and an
6
excellent school in Purworejo Regency, as well as having the good achievements
both in academic and non-academic fields.
Sources of data in this investigation were the principal, teachers and
students at State Senior High School 1 Purworejo. Data collection method used in
depth-interview, observation, and documentation. Spradley (cited by Harsono,
2008: 162) said that in-depth interviews can have a meaning of combination
between the descriptive, structural, and contrast questions. Observation is a
technique or a way of collecting data by observing ongoing activities
(Sukmadinata, 2007:220). Documents is indispensable as an instrument to find the
source of the data for the document can be used to examine, interpret, even to
predict. A documentary study is a data collection technique to collect and analyze
documents, whether written, images or electronic documents (Sukmadinata,
2007:221).
Data analysis techniques used in this research is an interactive model of
analysis. According to Miles and Huberman (2004:16), this model has three
analysis components—data reduction, data display and drawing conclusion that
are done by an interactive form with a data collection process as a cycle.
Qualitative way of thinking is that the information can be categorized as
valid information if it has a same information characteristic with several sources
(Harsono, 2011: 35). To test whether the data are valid or not, this study used a
triangulation. Triangulation used in this research is the triangulation of source,
that is by compare and re-check the degree of confidence of any information that
gained through time and different tools in qualitative research
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION THEORY
Students’ Characteristics of Learning in Academic Field at State Senior High
School 1 Purworejo
Learning characteristics of students in the academic field in this study is

7
during the learning process. Students’ characteristics of learning in academic field
are very active, creative and innovative. Therefore, the students are enthusiastic

individually and as a group.
State Senior High School 1 Purworejo, as an Ex-RSBI school, has a
different learning activities with other schools in general. The real difference
appeared is the students' activities of learning that are very motivated to learn.
Students looked very diligent in learning, especially in understanding the subject
matter presented by the teacher. Besides the exemplary of professional teachers,
they are also competent in their field. The subject matter presented in State Senior
High School 1 Purworejo use bilingual language. Subjects which use bilingual
language, among others, for science major: Physics, Chemistry, Biology,
Mathematics, and ICT. For IPS major: Accounting Subject, Geography, History,
Mathematics, and ICT. Therefore, students have high motivation to study harder
so that they understand the material being taught by teachers because there are
some materials taught in English.
Characteristics of learning at State Senior High School 1 Purworejo as an
RSBI Ex-School, referred to the development of curriculum used at this time,
SBC (Educational Unit Level Curriculum). In the field of education reform
creates an education system that uses Management of School-Based Quality
Improvement (MPMBS) which gives autonomy to the schools and to encourage
participatory decision-making directly involving all school citizens to improve the
school quality, awareness and responsibility, and create a healthy competition
among schools. Its essence is to give schools autonomy broadly accompanied by
the participative decision-making. So on its applicability to achieve school’s target
of quality in globalization era, State Senior High School 1 Purworejo has an
effective teaching and learning process based on the philosophy to make a strong
school leadership with a strong and dynamic teamwork and a culture of quality,
8
being supported by safe and orderly environment, and upholding the principle of
accountability reflected in the vision and mission of the school.
Characteristics of learning at State Senior High School 1 Purworejo are
done in a multimedia-based learning. The point is, multimedia is a combination of
several elements of information that can be text, images, sound, animation, and
video. Multimedia learning is usually by utilizing Internet. The goal is to develop
students' knowledge of the subject matter that is not well understood.
The use of multimedia in learning is very helpful to teachers and students
in teaching and learning process. A study conducted by Malik and Agarwal
(2012), entitled "Use of Multimedia as a New Educational Technology Tool-A
Study ". This study discusses the use of multimedia in learning. The use of
multimedia in learning is not limited by space and time so that it can be used
anywhere and anytime, although the existence of multimedia is not limited by the
space and time of teacher and students. While in the learning process required the
interaction between teachers and students.
There are similarities and differences between research conducted by
Malik and Agarwal (2012) with the results of this study. Both of those studies
discussed about the use of multimedia in learning in which the use of multimedia
in learning is not limited by space and time, so that it can be used anywhere and
anytime. And the difference is in the research of Malik and Agarwal (2012) does
not explain the type of multimedia such as what is used in learning.
The teachers at State Senior High School 1 Purworejo used the internet as
an instructional media. The Internet was used to improve teachers 'and students'
understanding of the subject matter and could also be used to collect assignments
through e-mail.
Instructional methods used by teachers in State Senior High School 1
Purworejo were the innovative instructional methods. One of them was e-learning.
It was a teaching method which was done through the electronic facilities or done
online via the internet.
Kenny Chen Sung and Cheng (2005) in their study entitled " The design of
instructional multimedia in e-Learning: A Media Richness Theory-based
approach". The research discusses the development of computer and internet
9
technology in learning. The use of computers and Internet is called e-learning
which is one of the important methods of learning. The use of multimedia in
learning is able to attract students’ attention in participating the teaching and
learning activity. Although the use of multimedia requires no small cost so that
not all schools use it in learning.
There are similarities and differences between the research of Chen Sung
and Kenny Cheng (2005) with the results of this study. Both of those studies
discussed about the use of the internet and computers in e-learning. The difference
is that in this study does not discuss about the implementation of learning and how
to use e-learning.
In learning activities, it requires the instructional models that are tailored
to the subjects to be taught. One widely used model of learning is moving class. It
is one of the learning systems that every subject matter teachers are ready to teach
in classes according to their subjects, so that when the turn of the lessons, teachers
do not need to come to the classroom, but students who do it.
Students’ Characteristics of Learning in Non-Academic Field at State Senior
High School 1 Purworejo
Characteristics of non-academic student learning in this study is the
realization of a positive development of students as the intellectual, social,
emotional and ethical individual, in teaching and learning activities outside of the
effective school hours to develop self-potential of students in developing
knowledge learned with a personality in the form of skills, attitudes, habits,
intelligence and motivation for learning activities outside the effective learning
hours, i.e. in extracurricular activities. Extracurricular activities are educational
activities outside of school subjects to assist the development of students
according to the need, potential, talent, and interest through activities that are
specifically organized by teachers or highly skilled education personnel and have
authorities at school. Extracurricular activities should be programmed so that its
implementation can run effectively and school goals can be achieved.

between students’ participation in school based extracurricular activities and
their achievement in physics". Results of this study suggest that there is a positive
relationship between students who take extracurricular with students’ academic
achievement. The reason is that by joining extracurricular activities can help
students to channel their interests and talents to excel.
Sunday A. Adeyemo’s study (2010) has similarities and differences with
the results of this study. Both of those studies discussed about the benefits that can
be obtained with the participation of students in extracurricular activities. And the
difference is, in this research, the extracurricular activities are done in an
achievement-based
activity.
st
Achievements of students in non-academic areas, for example, are 1 winner of

Stephanie E. Pitts (2008) in his study entitled "Extra-curricular Music in
UK Schools: Investigating the Aims, Experiences and Impact of Adolescent
Musical Participation". This study discusses the impact of students' participation
in extracurricular activities particularly the music in the UK School. The results
showed that the participation of students in extracurricular activities can provide a
positive impact that is students’ skill improvement in playing music characterized
by the enhancement of achievement obtained.
Stephanie E. Pitts’s study (2008) has similarities and differences with the
results of this study. Both of these studies discussed about extracurricular

eleventh grade students to always be ready when the school has a guest from

of the prominent differences in extracurricular activities at State Senior High
School 1 Purworejo with other schools.
The Characteristics of Excellent For Student Learning Both In Academic
And Non-Academic Fields at State Senior High School 1 Purworejo
Spiritual or emotional intelligence is an intelligence to deal with issues of
meaning or value to put our lives and behavior in the context of the broader
meaning and rich.
Danar Zohar (2007: 4) defines spiritual intelligence is intelligence that
rests on the inside of us that relates to the wisdom beyond the ego, or conscious
soul. This is the intelligence that we use not only know the values that exist but
also to creatively find new values. Goleman (2004: 45) describes emotional
intelligence as the ability to recognize our own feelings and others, the ability to
12
motivate ourselves, and the ability to manage emotions in ourselves and in
relationships with others.
A study conducted by King, Mara and Decicco (2012) in their study
entitled "Connecting the Spiritual and Emotional Intelligences: Confirming an
Intelligence Criterion and Assessing the Role of Empathy" stated that there is a
significant relationship between emotional intelligence and spiritual intelligence.
The reason is the high spiritual intelligence and emotional intelligence of a person
then that person is able to control its emotion and maximize potential.
The research of King, Mara and Decicco (2012) has similarities and
differences with the results of this study. Both of those studies discussed about the
spiritual intelligence. The difference is that this study described what spiritual
intelligence obtained by the students at the school.
Spiritual Quotient (SQ) and Emotional Quotient (EQ) are the necessary
foundation for functioning IQ effectively. SQ and EQ are needed to give a
spiritual meaning to the thought, behavior and activities in a comprehensive
manner. This is consistent with the view that if the ratio and emotion gives human
the technical advantages and needed to navigate the world of life, so spirituality
gives meaning to human actions. In education, it requires the activities to increase
the SQ and EQ of students.
Another study conducted by Srivastava and Misra (2012) in their study
entitled " Is Spriritual Quotient A Beter Tool Of Success: Spirituality In The New
World Order " states that between IQ, EQ and SQ influence each other. The
presence of SQ and EQ in a person helps to improve his intelligence that makes
that person to be creative, insightful, making or breaking the rules of thought.
Research of Srivastava and Misra (2012) has similarities and differences
with the results of this study. Both of those studies discussed about the
relationship between intellectual intelligence and spiritual intelligence. The
difference is, in this study, the relationship between intellectual intelligence and
spiritual intelligence are completed by the evidence of the relationship i.e.
students who have high spiritual intelligence have more understanding that
learning is one of the tasks students should do. And it is proved by the increasing
score of the lesson.
