PENGARUH PEMILIHAN JURUSAN TERHADAP KEPUASAN STUDI MAHASISWA UIN SYARIF HIDAYATULLAH JAKARTA

Abstract

Choosing a major in higher education is a crucial decision that can affect students’ academic processes and outcomes. This study aims to determine the influence of major selection based on student study satisfaction in the Islamic Guidance and Counseling program, second semester, at Syarif Hidayatullah State Islamic University Jakarta. This research employed a quantitative approach with a descriptive method. The sample consisted of 46 students selected using a simple random sampling technique. The research instrument was a questionnaire that had been tested for validity and reliability. Data were analyzed using simple linear regression with the SPSS program. The results showed that most respondents chose their major based on personal interest (73.9%), while the rest (26.1%) were influenced by others. The simple linear regression test produced a significance value of 0.066 (>0.05), indicating that the selection of a major does not have a statistically significant effect on student study satisfaction. Although the direction of the relationship is positive, the selection of a major is not the sole factor determining study satisfaction. This study suggests the need to consider other factors such as learning motivation, campus environment, and social support to improve student study satisfaction.
