Abstract

This study is a Classroom Action Research (CAR) aimed at improving student discipline in class VIII-5 of SMPN 23 Malang through the implementation of a learning contract in Pancasila and Citizenship Education (PPKn). The background of this research is the low level of student discipline, characterized by uncontrolled use of mobile phones during the learning process. The research was conducted from February to May 2026 in two cycles, each consisting of two meetings, following the planning-action-observation-reflection stages. The research subjects were 30 students of class VIII-5. The intervention applied was a learning contract mutually agreed upon by the teacher and students, containing rules, rights, obligations, and sanctions during learning. Data collection techniques included observation, peer assessment, post-test, and documentation. The results showed an increase in the average discipline rate from 47.2% in the pre-cycle to 68.2% in cycle I and 89.4% in cycle II. Post-test results also showed an increase in learning completeness from 30% to 63% and 90% respectively, while peer assessment confirmed the improvement from 64.2% to 87.8%. It can be concluded that the implementation of learning contracts is effective in improving the discipline of class VIII-5 students at SMPN 23 Malang.
