Abstract
In the process of teaching and learning, discipline and motivation are two
things that always become a concern for students and teachers. Teachers’
discipline in the process of teaching and learning is needed to encourage the
students’ motivation. This research aims to find out the English teachers’
discipline, to find out the students’ motivation in learning English and, to
investigate whether or not there is a correlation between English teachers’
discipline and students’ motivation in learning English at SMA Muhammadiyah 7
Yogyakarta.
The data of this research were collected from 132 students of SMA
Muhammdiyah 7 Yogyakarta batch 2015. To answer the first and the second
research questions, questionnaire was used. Then, the data were analyzed using
descriptive statistics in SPSS program version 22.0 to find out teachers’ discipline
and students’ motivation. While to answer the third research questions about the
correlation between teachers’ discipline and students’ motivation in learning
English was used Pearson Product Moment Correlation coefficient (r).
The result of this research indicated that the English teachers’ of SMA
Muhammadiyah 7 Yogyakarta have good discipline. The mean score of English
teachers’ discipline was 3.13 which lies in the “good” category. Meanwhile, the
mean score of students’ motivation in learning English was 3.20 which means that
the students of SMA Muhammadiyah 7 Yogyakarta have high motivation in
learning English because 3.20 lies in the “Moderate” category. The result of the
a positive strong correlation between the English teachers’ discipline and students’
motivation in learning English. The researcher decided that the alternative
hypothesis (H1) is accepted and the null hypothesis (H0) is rejected.
Chapter One Introduction
This chapter provides some points to show an actual discussion of the
main problem of the research. This chapter elaborates the background of the
research, statement of the problem, limitation of the problem, formulation of the
problem, purpose of the research, and significance of the research.
Background of the Research
In the classroom teaching process, teachers have a big contribution in a
successful learning. This is because teachers are a person who directly involved
with students and the most responsible person in the processes and mission of
education. Rifkin, Hanushek and Kain (2005) claimed that “teachers are the
most influential school-based factor on student achievement” (p.3). In
particular, teachers are highly vulnerable to the various issues that may arise
when the original planning and learning process is not carefully planned which
will have implications for the failure of the learning system.
Teacher is a very influential person in students’ learning process in the
classroom. Having a successful class is determined by teachers’
professionalism. In addition, teachers also have very important task that
regulate the routines of the class. Conducive learning climate in the classroom
is the result of teachers’ working and thinking. Based on the Teachers and
Lectures as referred to in Indonesia Law No. 14 of 2005 on Chapter IV, Article
of Teachers/lecturers includes pedagogical competence, personal competence, social competence, and professional competence acquired through professional
education”. Therefore, Teacher is professional educator with a primary task of educating, teaching, guiding, directing, training, assessing, and evaluating
students on children early age, formal education, basic education, and
intermediate education also in high education.
There are some factors in successful teacher and one of the factors is
discipline factor. Imam Ghazali (2003) in his book under the title "Ihya
Ulumuddin" in Solichin (2006) said that one of the factors of successful
teachers when teaching is teachers who discipline by providing an example to
their students. Teachers’ discipline would very determine the order and stability
of the education process and classroom teaching. Teacher will be a guide or
leader for their students. Whatever the teachers’ do, it will be seen by their
students. So, a teacher should be discipline. According to Demirdag (2015)
teachers' discipline aims to help students’ take responsibility for their own
behavior. That is why the teachers should show to their students that he or she
can be teachers’ discipline. They can help them in any aspect of learning,
because discipline contains the meaning of training, educating and setting.
Based on Oxford Dictionary (2008), discipline is the practice of training people
to obey rules or a code of behavior using punishment to correct disobedience.
Therefore, discipline in implementing the teacher tasks is as an obligation and
Being discipline will effect student motivation in learning, especially in
learning second language. Piggot’s (2008) as cited in Rahimi and Karkami
(2015) result of his study showed that “teachers’ modeling (teacher’s
personality), presentation (the way the teacher communicates the purpose and
procedure of class activities), afflictive motive (the extent to which students are
motivated to please the teacher), and control (teacher-pressure) were among the
important issues to motivate or demotivate students to learn English as a
foreign language” (p.8). So from Piggots’ (2008) research, the researcher
believes if a teacher keeps being discipline, it will motivate their students in
learning English.
There were two problems that the researcher found in doing internship
subject at SMA Muhammadiyah 7 Yogyakarta. The first one was a teacher did
not come on time for about five to ten minutes. So students also did not come
on time to the class because students had a notion that their teacher were not
coming on time. The second one was that a teacher was less assertive in giving
a direction to the students. So students were less motivated during the learning
process in the classroom. Automatically, it will influence students’ academic
achievement. From the background above, the researcher wants to know the
correlation between teachers’ discipline and students’ motivation in learning
English.
Statement of the Problem
discipline and students’ motivation in learning English. There are many
matters related to teachers’ discipline that if it is not noticed by teachers
carefully, it will effect students’ motivation. Some problems that should
noticed by teacher are teachers do not come on time when teaching,
teachers do not check the attendance of students, teachers do not give a
feedback to students from the recent assignment and teachers give a
score to students as they wish. Some problems that have mentioned
above will be a big problem for system of education because they have
important role in improving education system.
Limitation of the Problem
Teachers’ discipline and students’ motivation in learning English comprise
a lot of areas to be studied. There are many studies which have been conducted in
some areas, such as issues in the roles of the teacher in the class and how to
motivate students in learning English and many others. This research, however
focused to find out the correlation between teachers’ discipline (attendance
including coming on time), task and responsibility, assertiveness, and subject
mastery) and students’ motivation in learning English (achievement needs, power
needs, and affiliation needs). This research was conducted at SMA
Muhammadiyah 7 Yogyakarta.
Formulation of the Problem
discipline and student’s motivation to learn. The formulations of the problem are
set as follow:
1. How is the English teachers’ discipline at SMA Muhammadiyah7
Yogyakarta?
2. How is the students’ motivation in learning English at SMA
Muhammadiyah 7 Yogyakarta?
3. What is the correlation between English teachers’ discipline and students’
motivation in learning English at SMA Muhammadiyah 7 Yogyakarta?
Purposes of the Research

this research can give knowledge to the future researchers about why the teacher
should do discipline in the classroom and it is provide information for the future
researchers that a teacher who disciplines can provide motivation to students in
Chapter Two Literature Review
This chapter discusses several reviews and definition of teachers’
discipline and students’ motivation that related to this research. This chapter
focuses on the definition of discipline, motivation in learning English and the
correlation between teachers’ discipline and students’ motivation in learning
English. The conceptual framework and hypothesis of this study are also
presented in this chapter.
Definition of Discipline
Definition of discipline has been explained in some English dictionary,
such as Merriam Webster Dictionary (2003), Online Cambridge Dictionary,
and Oxford Dictionary (2008). Based on Marriam Webster Dictionary (2003),
there are three simple meanings of discipline. Firstly, discipline is control that
is gained by requiring that rules order be obeyed and punishing bad behavior.
Secondly, discipline is a way of behaving that shows a willingness to obey
rules or orders. Thirdly, discipline is behavior that is judged by how well it
follows a set of rules or orders. Definition of discipline is also stated in Online
Cambridge dictionary. Those are discipline for training (Noun) and discipline
for control (Verb). Discipline for training is training that makes people more
willing to obey or more able to control themselves, often in the form of rules,
and punishments if these are broken, or the behavior and discipline for control
Dictionary (2008), discipline is a practice of training people to obey the rules
and punishing them if they do not obey it and also discipline is ability to
control your behavior or the way you live.
In addition, some experts have made clear definition of discipline. As
reported on the Web of duniapelajar.com (2014), there are three definitions of
discipline based on three experts’ opinion. The first opinion comes from Drever
(1986) who stated that discipline is the ability to control the behavior that
comes from inside a person conforms to the things that have been set from the
outside or exiting norm. In other words, discipline of the psychological aspect
is the behavior of someone who appears and able to adjust the rules that have
been set. The second opinion comes from Fairshild (1977) who mentioned that
discipline consists of two parts. Namely self-discipline and social discipline
and both are connected each other. Therefore, people who have attitude of
discipline are the people who can guide the behavior and actions based on
specific benchmarks or limit certain behaviors are acceptable in a group or
social spheres respectively. The setting of those behaviors can be acquired
through education and learning. The third opinion comes from Macquarie
(1967) who believed that discipline is willingness and one’s actions in
complying with all regulations that have been strung with a specific purpose.
Other researchers also explained the definition of discipline. Robbins
and Judge (2013) asserted that the discipline is an attitude or behavior which is
done by way of voluntary with full of awareness and willingness to follow the
unwritten. Siagian (1997) as cited in Kaliri (2008) found that discipline is the
measures of management to encourage the members of organizations to fulfill
various provisions. Another definition came from Zuliana (2010) that
discipline is a rule to organize the order of life personality of the group. The
rules were not made by the animals, but it is made by human as a maker and
performer. While discipline arise from inside the soul of human because of
there is encouragement to obey the rules. This can be understood that the
discipline is rules, namely: Settings (compliance). This can be understood that
discipline means obeying the rules.
Based on several definitions of discipline above, it can be interpreted
that discipline is an attitude that must exist within all people. It is a must
because discipline is the basis of people’s behavior which is really influence to
all things.
Definition of Teachers’ Discipline
Discipline is a value that became an integral of someone profession
which is must have by every person. Teachers’ discipline in teaching and
learning process is very essential. According to Aziz (2011), “teachers’
discipline is fully willing attitude in complying with all the rules and norms
that exist in school education and doing his job as a form of its responsibility
towards the education of their students” (p.33). Other definition of teachers’
discipline comes from Rogers (2011), he said that teachers' discipline is
their students in the establishment phase of the year and they did what they
have explained. So, all things which are related to the students are the
responsibility of a teacher. Such as the lesson that the student does not
understand or student attitudes who like to disturb other students. All of those
are the responsibilities of a teacher.
A teacher must closer to student in order to know the problem that the
students’ face and teachers can solve the problem that is faced by students.
Because of teacher or education personnel is a mirror for the students in their
attitude or exemplary, the teacher should do a discipline and doing discipline
will give the extraordinary results to their students. In addition, Rogers (2011,
p.3) noted there are three meanings of discipline on his book under the title
“strategies for positive and effective behavior management and discipline in
schools” as follows:
Preventative discipline. Rogers (2011) said that preventative discipline is concerned with basic rights and clear and fair rules and behavior
consequences. It involves developing positive routines for teaching and
learning, room organization, and curriculum planning.
Corrective discipline. Moreover Rogers (2011) said that corrective discipline is concerned with teacher action. What we say to correct distracting,
disruptive, antisocial or deviant behavior is in discipline contexts. Crucial to
this aspect of discipline is our characteristic use of language under emotional
pressure (because of bad behavior) and it is an appropriate use of school-wide
told students out of class by saying: get out, go on! I’m sick of stupid behavior.
Rogers (2011) said that “in this example, teacher’s voice is not loud or
aggressive but assertive and firm” (p.52).
Supportive discipline. Rogers (2011) also said that supportive discipline ensures that correction is received as fairly as possible. It involves
repairing, rebuilding and re-establishing working relationships with students
who have been disciplined.
Rogers (2011) elaborated that “discipline in these sense is a teacher
directed activity whereby we seek to lead, guide, direct manage and (where
necessary) confront a student about behavior that disrupts the right of others”
(p.5). So to be a good teacher, a teacher must lead the students or control
directly the students to a better direction, such as directing the students to study
harder. So that they can understand what has been taught by a teacher and they
will get a great achievement and motivation in learning.
In order to become discipline, teachers need to have several approaches.
Mangkunagara (2000) as cited in Kaliri (2008) claimed that there are three
approaches to teachers’ discipline. Those are the modern discipline, traditional
discipline and discipline goal approach. The first one is modern discipline
approach. Modern discipline approach attempts to bring together a number of
purposes, and new requirements beyond punishment. The function of modern
discipline approach is to avoid physical punishment, to protect the correct
allegations to be forwarded to the legal process. The second one is traditional
giving a punishment. It is to give punishment to the violators of discipline with
assumption to give a lesson to the offenders. The last one is discipline goal
approach. Kaliri (2008) said that discipline goal approach assumes that work
discipline must be accepted and understood by all teachers which discipline is
not a punishment but discipline is the creation of behavior. So, both of
discipline modern, traditional and discipline goal approach is very useful for
teachers who want to be discipline.
The Types of Teachers Discipline
Each school certainly had some teachers and every teacher organize a
class that has their own way in a classroom set. Each teacher may not be the
same in making the classroom atmosphere becomes conducive. Every style of
discipline that is imposed by a teacher in the class certainly adjusted to what is
needed by students.
Teachers’ discipline will help students in understanding what is
commanded and what should be done by them in learning process. Altinel
(2006) as cited in Rahimi and Hosseini (2015) argued that “the research shows
that teacher management styles maximize the students’ academic performance
and keep them on task” (p.6). It means that a teacher who has good
management styles will have the students more easily in understanding the
lesson that teacher teaches in the class. The researcher believes that every
Style of discipline that usually teachers do in the classroom depends on their personality, attitude and their experience in teaching. Wolfgang (2001) as cited in Kaya, Cynthia & Wolfgang (2010) explained that “the type of teachers’ discipline model use may depend on their personality, years of experience in
teaching process the classroom, or the grade level that they teach” (p.5). It can be
interpreted by the amount of teachers’ experiences in teaching and learning
process, so they have great discipline. Teacher discipline can be better and it also comes from other factors. Such as their personality and the grade level that they teach which have been mentioned above by Kaya. et. al (2010). Every teacher has a different discipline in teaching. Sometimes there is a stern teacher. There is teacher who is very familiar with the students and there is also a teacher who does not care about their students. Tomal (1998) as cited in Reese (2012) mentioned
that there are five teacher discipline styles. Those are enforcer, abdicator,
compromiser, supporter and negotiator.
Enforcer. The first style is enforcer style. Enforcer means whatever he wants, it should be obeyed by others. Tomal (1998) said that “a teacher who
has a high degree of enforcing and low degree of supporting, the teachers’ style
was called the "enforcer". This teacher was much like a dictator in demanding
that his/her students obey his/her rules and allows little room for discussion”
(p.8). In this discipline style, Reese (2012) said that “this style is not as
effective with students today as it once may have been, due to today’s pressing
need for increased student-teacher relationships” (p.41). So, teachers who have
means that anything that the teachers demand to the students, they should obey
it. If they are not obeying the demand from the teacher they will get some
consequences, such as punishment. As stated by Reese (2012) that this
discipline style is not effective anymore in this era. In conclusion, those
teachers must provide what is needed by students not what is wanted by the
teacher. So, the relationship between teachers and students will be harmonious.
Abdicator. The second style is abdicator style. Abdicator means to stop controlling or managing something that you are in charge of (Cambridge
Advance Learner Dictionary, 2008). Sometimes teacher forsake what their
student do. This action is called as abdicator style. Then, Tomal (1998) said
that abdicator style is characteristic of those teachers who has low supporting
and enforcing attributes. They tend to be apathetic towards handling
disciplinary problems and they have little interest in their students. If the
teacher has this discipline model in teaching and learning process, it will not
motivate the students. It is supported by Tomal (1998) as cited in Reese (2012)
asserted that “this style of discipline appears to lead to demotivation, poor
academic achievement, and class disruption” (p.42). A typical teacher has a
discipline like this are teachers who do not really care to students. As an
example if students want to sleep in class, then the teacher allowed them to
sleep in the class. Discipline style like this will not give a motivation to the
students to study harder, because their teachers are letting what students do in
Compromiser. The third style is compromiser style. Compromise means to accept something that you will reduce your demands or change your
opinion in order to reach an agreement with someone (Cambridge Advance
Learner Dictionary, 2008). Tomal (1998) mentioned that “teacher who had the
style of the “compromiser exhibit a moderate degree of enforcing and
supporting characteristics” (p.12). He also said that “these teachers appeared to
be more willing to compromise their own positions for those of the students.
Therefore, these teachers are appear to be a wishy-washy and inconsistent
teacher in enforcing school discipline policies” (p.12). Reese (2012) argued
that this kind of style will make the students confuse with the lesson that the
teacher teach in the classroom. Students confused with the lesson that is taught
by the teacher, because the teacher comes to the classroom just to perform a
task that is given by the school principal for them. They are not come the class
to give students an understanding of what they want to teach.
Supporter. The fourth style is supporter style. Supporter means
someone who supports a particular idea, group or person (Cambridge Advance
Learner Dictionary, 2008). So a teacher who has this style is a teacher who
always provides encouragement to students. Tomal (1998) explained that
“teachers who has a "supporter" discipline style exhibit a high degree of
supporting and a low degree of enforcing characteristics. They take great
efforts to talk with students about a disciplinary problem and they give a great
deal of latitude in the disciplinary action that they may administer” (p.13).
really concerned to the students’ feeling and the students have difficulties with
applying or enforcing strict policies.
Negotiator. The fifth style is negotiator style. Negotiator means someone who tries to help two groups who disagree to reach an agreement with others,
usually as a job (Cambridge Advance Learner Dictionary, 2008). Tomal (1998)
highlighted that “teachers with the "negotiator" discipline style exhibit a high
degree of emphasis on enforcing and supporting” (p.43). Tomal (1998) also said in
this discipline model, “the teachers used multiple approaches to discipline such as
parent/teacher conferences, listening to the students, enforcing rules and policies,
calling students’ parent to discussion, and counseling sessions with their students”
(p. 43). Teachers who have this discipline style will not find a problem too
difficult in handling students, because they involves multiple parties such as
parents and other teacher without underestimating and intimidating students.
The Roles of Teacher
The role of teacher is not easy. Beside they teach students, they also
educate them. To be a teacher is not only mastering the material that will be
thought to students, this is not enough, this thing cannot be categorized as
professional teacher. To be a professional teacher, they should have skill, they
love their job as a teacher, and there are many things that should be mastered
by them. It is supported by Kaliri (2008) asserted that teaching is not just a
teacher and stood in front of the class, but how the techniques and strategies to
be a successful teacher is when a teacher has mastered the methodology of the
lessons well.
The role of teacher is not only educating students or teaching them but
also there several roles that teacher should do in the process of teaching and
learning. Syukir (2013) mentioned that there are three roles of teacher. Those
are professional role, social role, and personal role. First, teacher professional
role is including educating, teaching, training, guiding and researching. Kompri
(2015) argued that teaching means to continue and develop the science and
technology. Training and guiding is to develop the skill of the learners.
Researching is to examine the development of education.
The second one is teacher social role. This social role is made a human
become fully human. Because of that “the teachers in the school should be able
to make himself as second parents for students and in society he became role
model” (Kompri, 2015, p.39).
The third one is teacher personal role. Kompri (2015) argued that on
this role, the teacher should reflect on himself, he should know himself further
in, because he became a role model not only in school but also in society.
Kompri (2015) gave an example for this role as teacher appearance, so that
they will gain the sympathy of the students. If teachers are not able to attract
the sympathy of their students, then the first failure they are not going to be
The Factors that Influence Teachers’ Discipline
Teachers’ discipline can be affected by many factors, both internal
factors and external factors. Internal factors come from within teachers
themselves related with awareness and persistence in discipline. While the
external factor come from outside the teacher. Such as the place that is where
the teacher lives. Kompri (2015) highlighted that "one of the factors that highly
influence the discipline of a teacher in the works is the principal as a leader in
school, as a leader, the principal has a responsibility in improving the quality of
teachers and teacher discipline" (p.132 ). It is supported by Susanto (2012) said
that school principal is part of the school system occupy a strategic position in
directing and supporting the activities of teachers in students' learning.
The principal is very influential person in managing teacher discipline.
To know the principal who can manage the teacher discipline could see from
some criteria that have been mentioned by Chanthea (2013) on her research
under the title “Principal’s Leadership in Improving Teacher Discipline", there
are three criteria. Firstly is the background of the principal who already have
experience in leading an organization or institution before. Secondly is work
experience. If he had experience in leading a school, he will do his job as well
as he can. Thirdly is the awareness his role as a school leader. A principal
should give a good example to another teacher not only words but also in
action. So the principal can guide other teacher to do like he do and to do what
There are some other factors that influence teachers’ discipline.
Mangkunegara (2009) as cited in Kanafi (2010) asserted that there are two
factors that influence the discipline of teachers. Those are teacher personality
factor and work factor. Firstly, personality factor is like the teachers’
intelligence (IQ), a special skill, age, physical condition, gender, work
experience, work period and personality, emotions and ways of thinking. This
opinion is supported by Kanafi (2010) said that the application work of teacher
discipline can be influenced by teachers’ intellectual quotient (IQ), quotient
emotional (EQ), and spiritual quotient (SQ). Secondly, occupational factors are
the type of work, organizational structure, class rank, position, quality control,
financial security, bridges promotional opportunities, social interaction and
working relationships. Kanafi (2010) argued that “this factor explain the
condition of the teachers with the organization in the school (the position of the
working system, social relation in the workplace, and infrastructure)” (p.20).
From a number of the above problems, Susanto (2012) said that the teachers’
work is an important factor in improving the quality of learners because they
know what the student's needs.
The Characteristics of Teachers’ Discipline
Teachers’ discipline has some characteristics. Some of them are coming
to the class on time, organizing the atmosphere of classroom in teaching and
learning process, explaining the right and responsibilities. It is supported by
discipline. Those are coming on time, having responsibilities in teaching and learning process, having assertiveness.
Coming on Time. Whatever the teachers do in the school, it will be seen by the students. So by coming to the class on time, automatically the
teachers have given an example to the students to come to the class on time,
which is a discipline (Gunarsa, 2002). Furthermore, Robbins and Judge (2013)
said that discipline is an attitude or behavior which is done by way of voluntary
with full of awareness and willingness to follow the rules which set by the
organization or employer whether written or unwritten, like the time to attend
in the organization.
Having Responsibilities. If there is a sense of responsibility on the teacher, then there will be also a sense of discipline to his right in performing
his duties (Gunarsa, 2002). According to Rogers (2011), Teachers' discipline is
the teachers who explain the rights, responsibilities, and rules of the school
with their students in the establishment phase of the year and they did what
they have explained. So, teachers who have a sense of responsibilities, they
will carry out their duties as a teacher well.
Having Assertiveness. Assertiveness means the quality of expressing opinions or desires in a strong and confident way, so that people take notice
(Oxford Living Dictionaries, 2016). Every teacher should have an assertive
attitude, because by having assertive attitude, the student will be dutiful to
students who violate the classroom rules that have been agreed upon (Gunarsa,
2002). Besides, according to Tomal (1998), Teachers who used multiple
approaches to discipline such as parent/teacher conferences, listening to the
students, enforcing rules and policies, calling students’ parent to a discussion,
and counseling sessions with their students will not find a problem too difficult
in handling students.
In addition, one of the characteristic of teachers’ discipline is mastering the subject that he or she will teach. Teacher is not only teaching the students and standing in front of the class, but also should know the techniques and
strategies to convey or communicate the subject matter (Kaliri, 2008)
Definition of Motivation
In education, the problem of motivation has always been to attract
attention. This is because the motivation is seen as one of the most dominant
factor in determining whether or not the purpose of education achieved. While
it is recognized that the general intellectual capability (intelligence) and the
ability of a specific nature (the talent) is a major basic capital in order to
achieve educational achievements, but they will not mean much if the student
as an individual does not have the motivation to get an achievement as well.
Maehr and Meyer (1997) as cited in Brophy (2004) argued that
motivation is a theoretical construct used to explain the initiation, direction,
intensity, persistence, and quality of behavior, especially goal-directed
behavior. It can be concluded that motivation is encouraging someone to do
Moreover, Lai (2011) highlighted that motivation involves a constellation of
beliefs, perceptions, values, interests, and actions that are all closely related. In
another word, motivational approach can be seen through cognitive behavior,
such as how to monitor and how to use strategy and also can be seen from non
-cognitive aspects such as perceptions, beliefs and attitudes, or both.
Motivation is an activator for the students to engage them in learning
process. As stated by Kanafi (2010) that the motivation to learn is a driving factor
that enable the students to get involved. So, the students who have high
motivation can be seen from the way that they learn. They are usually diligent to
study, ready to face difficulties in learning, always independent, always trying to
solve a problem that they faced in learning process, and responsible for the work
that students had done.
The Types of Motivation
The types of motivation that usually told by some researchers are
integrative and instrumental motivation and also intrinsic and extrinsic
motivation. According to Gardner and Lambert (1972) as cited in Mahadi and
Jafari (2012), motivation has two types. The first one is integrative motivation and
the second one is instrumental motivation.
Integrative motivation. Some researchers have been mentioned the definition of integrative motivation. The meaning of integrative motivation is
someone or students who learn the language with paying attention and participate
(2009) that “integrative motivation begins with a personal effort and continues on
with a desire to know the target language native speakers” (p.2). Dornyei (1994)
as cited in Zhao (2012) reported that integrative motivation or orientation is
associated with a positive disposition toward the L2 group and desire to interact
with and even become a valued member of that group. Zhao (2012) argued that
integrative motivation or orientation is related to positive attitudes towards the L2
community. So it will be a better predictor of learners’ eventual proficiency than
the instrumental orientation and interactively motivated learners would
demonstrate greater motivational effort in learning L2 and thus succeed in second
language achievement because they were active learners.
Instrumental motivation. Whereas, instrumental motivation shows that the student learn the language to support their purpose which related with their
occupation and can be benefit for the next future. Rehman, Bilal, Sheikh, Bibi and
Nawaz (2014) stated that students with an instrumental motivation want to learn a
language because of a practical reason, such as getting a salary or getting into
collage. Instrumental motivation has its own goals for students, such as for
listening radio, reading a book, and also watching movie (Al-khasawneh &
Omari, 2015).
Integrative and instrumental motivation is really effect and can manage the
procedure and students’ outcome in learning process. Mahadi and Jafari (2012)
believed that the integrative and instrumental motivation is useful and effective
factor for second language learning. In addition both integrative and instrumental
Intrinsic motivation. Intrinsic motivation means the function does not
need to be stimulated or encouraged from the outside, because inside every person
has had encouragement to do everything. All the encouragement that is within the
students will arise by them, consciously and also directed to achieve the kinds of
purposes that has been set by them. It is supported by Brophy (2004) that
“intrinsic motivation depicts people as pursuing their own agendas, doing what
they do because they want to rather than because they need to” (p.15). Therefore,
the existence of motivation in student is very important role to achieve what they
want.
Extrinsic motivation. The next one is extrinsic motivation is the motive which have a thrust from the outside, so that the students will do what their want. It is because they have the support or encouragement from outside. For example, the teacher wants their students to understand what teacher taught in the
classroom and the students want to do the work that he gave to students, but the students there is no spirit to do what is assigned by the teacher, so the teacher took the initiative to give a gift or something if students are able and willing to
complete the task which teacher gave to them. Then, by doing that role, the students want to do the work that is given by the teacher, because they want to get a gift that has been promised by the teacher. It is supported by Santrock (2004) as cited in Rehman, et.al (2014) argued that “extrinsic motivation involves doing
something to obtain something else” (p. 2).
That is why extrinsic motivation is very different from intrinsic motivation, which
is extrinsic motivation is to do an activity because the students want to get an
enjoyment and outcome from the action that students did it. Extrinsic motivation
does not mean it is not important. It is very important because a school is not
design to use the intrinsic motivation, but the school is designed how to motivate
the students for their future. This means that the schools use an extrinsic
motivation method for the students to get motivation from the outside, such as
schools, teachers, and also their friends.
The Characteristics of Motivated Person
Everyone is motivated in different ways. There is someone motivated
because of something she or he wants to get and there is someone who is
motivated because of a demand. MsClelland’s (1987) on his book “Human
Motivation” as cited in Braden (2000) explained that people who are motivated
based on three needs (Needs Theory): they are achievement needs, power needs,
and affiliation needs.
Achievement needs. The first one is achievement needs. People with achievement needs have some characteristics. McClelland’s (1987) as cited in
Braden (2000) said that people with high achievement needs has some
characteristic. They are responsible, needs feedback, not gamblers, and stretch
themselves.
Responsible. People with high achievement needs are usually looking for
have an initiative to clarify a problem, even that problem is not theirs (McCelland,
1987 as cited in Braden, 2000). People prefer a situation which enabled him
personally to be responsible for any actions that are taken by him or her to achieve
an objective.
Feedback Oriented. People with high achievement needs usually require a
feedback on what they have done (work). McCelland (1987) as cited in Braden
(2000) said that “people who have high achievement needs are normally very
frustrated by not receiving a feedback and the quicker the better” (p.1). It means
that these people prefer feedback on how their actions and they are very
responsive to real feedback in an effort to spur an achievement.
Well prepared. People with high achievement needs are not gamblers, but
rather set properly to challenge the purpose. McCelland (1987) as cited in Braden
(2000) stated that “people with high achievement needs are like to control their
own success. They do not like to “win the lottery” or anything by chance” (p.1). It
means that those people who do not like to gamble but they set as well as possible
with what they want in challenging something and what they want to get is
characteristic of people who are motivated.
Like challenge. People with high achievement needs are usually wanted to
get a challenge. Because of that they set goals that they are challenging but people
that they look have at least a 50% chance of achieving (McCelland, 1987 as cited
in Braden, 2000). It means that they usually choose the challenges that have
intermediate risk. So that people will actually perform a task without burden
Power needs. The second one is power needs. McCelland (1987) as cited in Braden (2000) said that people with power needs usually understand how to use
the power to solve any problem in better way. Then people with power needs have
some characteristics are like to be in charge, effective, enjoy competition and
prestige.
Like to be in charged.The first characteristic is they like to be in charge.
McCelland (1987) as cited in Braden (2000) stated that people with high power
needs usually like to be in charge. It happens because they understand their own
strengths and weaknesses and they can trust their own intelligence and abilities.
They usually do not know the power and the weaknesses of other people. So they
want to be in charge. It means that this individual is more confident in his or her
capabilities, strength and usually do not like to get involved in a situation that
determines him or her about what to do.
Effective. The second characteristic is effective. Effective means
successful or achieving the result that people want. McCelland (1987) as cited in
Braden (2000) said that people with high power needs normally they know that
they can be effective. They attempt to control other people. It means that people
with high power needs actually believe on their self that they are effective in
controlling another people in doing something.
Enjoy the competition and prestige. The third characteristic is Enjoy the
competition and prestige. McCelland (1987) as cited in Braden (2000) stated that
people with high power needs usually enjoy the competition that shows the
effectiveness they can get their exact job. In other words, people who have power
needs habitually enjoyed the competition because it can give them to the direction
in getting their real job.
Affiliation needs. The third one is affiliation needs. McCelland (1987) as cited in Braden (2000) found that people with high affiliation needs have three
characteristics, they like to be accepted and trusted, collaborative, and keep good
relationship.
Accepted and trusted. According to McCelland (1987) as cited in Barden
(2000), people who have affiliation needs like to be accepted and trusted.
McCelland (1987) as cited in Barden (2000) said that they like to live with people
and being trusted by them who love him or her. So people with high power needs
are really enjoy when he is acceppted and trusted by people around him.
Collaborative. According to McCelland (1987) as cited in Barden (2000),
people with high affiliation needs are usually like to collaborate over the
competition in any work. Basically, they like to work together in a group to perform a variety of jobs.
Keep good relationship. According to McCelland (1987) as cited in
Barden (2000), They attempt to make and keep connection with trust and complementary understanding. So people who like work in a group and build a
trust between each member of the group is a characteristic of someone who is
The Functions of Motivation in Learning
Motivation is the most important part in the process of teaching and
learning. Kompri (2015) explained that motivation is the change of energy in
every person that marked by the emergence of feeling and reaction to achieve the
goal. From this definition and from some the definition above, we know how are
the functions of motivation in every activity, especially in the learning process.
Some researchers have described about the function of motivation.
Hamalik (2006) as cited in Kompri (2015) argued that there are three functions of
motivation. The first is to encourage the emergence of a behavior or action.
Without a motivation, the students will not arise an action. The second one is
motivation which serves as a director to direct an action in achieving the
objectives that students want. The last one is motivation as a driver. The size of a
motivation will determine the speed of response of a job or another.
Another researcher mentioned four functions of motivation. Cecco (1977)
as cited in Kanafi (2010) asserted that there are four functions of motivation in the
process of learning and teaching. The first is motivation can awake the desire of
students to study. The second is the motivation can provide an expectation of what
students would do after the end of learning. The third is the incentives function
that will give a reward to the achievements in the future. The fourth is motivation
function by using rewards and punishments to control the deviant behavior. All of
the points that have been written above are the function of the teacher in order to
motivate the students in the process of learning (Kanafi, 2010). Sogunro (2015)
That is the students do.
Students’ Motivation in Learning English
As the researcher has explained above about the function of motivation in
learning, now the researcher will explain about the students’ motivation in
learning English. Brown (2007) argued that motivation is an affective variable that
must be considered in the process of language learning. So, motivation should be
had in every single aspect learning process, because it will determine the value of
the language that they learn.
Every school in Indonesia makes English as part of the lessons which
learned by the students, from elementary school to university. The students who
have motivation to learn English might have strong spirit and they might even
increase the portion of learning them through the courses. Instead of students who
do not have the motivation, especially with dislike, fear in the English lesson will
be worse off in a incompetence, so that, when they finally graduated from high
school yet their English skills are still low. So, any kind of motivation is one of
the factors that influence the success of second language learning or foreign
language learning (Suroso, 2011). Students who learn English as foreign language
will have different types of motivation. It is supported by Tanto and Kosasih
(2011) stated that “many studies have pointed out that learning a second language
in a foreign setting involves different types of motivation” (p.7). From Tanto and
Kosasih’s statement (2011), the motivation of student who learns English as
foreign language can have integrative or instrumental motivation and intrinsic and
Both of integrative and instrumental motivation or intrinsic and extrinsic
motivation is used in second language. Gardner’s (1985) on his theory of second
language motivation as cited in Kitjaroonchai and Kitjaroonchai (2012) identified
motivation into two different motivations, which are integrative and instrumental
motivation, both of them (integrative and instrumental orientation) affect to
foreign language learning. In integrative orientation, students who learn second or
foreign language want to be familiar with the culture, norms and values of the
target language community. This type of motivation is defined by Ryan and Deci
(1985) in Kitjaroonchai and Kitjaroonchai (2012) that as intrinsic motivation in
which learners find enjoyment and interest in learning a language with a positive
attitude. Ahmad, Abdullah and Ghani (2014) argued on the result of their research
that intrinsic motivation is really influence on students’ learning the English
language. Cokley, Barnard, Cunningham, and Motoike (2001) said that students
who have integrative motivation show great interest in English, they have much
effort in learning English and they have high self-academic concept. It means that
student who has integrative or intrinsic motivation in learning English will make
them easier in understanding and speaking English. Then, Kitjaroonchai and
Kitjaroonchai (2012) said that students who have instrumental or extrinsic
motivation in learning foreign or second language usually their personal purpose
such as for passing an examination or university requirements, and obtaining a
prospective career with big income.
Then, students who have integrative or intrinsic motivation and students
equally successful in learning the English language. But students who have
integrative or intrinsic motivation will master English deeper. It happens because
students with integrative/intrinsic learns English wants to be more familiar with
the culture, norms, and the values of the target language. Meanwhile, students
with instrumental/extrinsic learn English only for their personal purpose with the
result that after they get what they want from learning English; they will stop to
learn English. So they will not understand English more deep as students with
integrative/intrinsic motivation.
Suroso (2011) gave an illustration between two student who learn English
as foreign language: if there are two students who have two different motivations,
For example, the first student want to learn English because to be able to speak
English (intrinsic motivation) and the second student want to learn English in
order to get the good score from the test (extrinsic motivation), both of them can
achieve a success in learning English. But the first student will have strong ability
in English than the second student, because the first student wants to learn English
because he/she wants to master English. The second student learns English is only
for getting good score in English test. It is supported by Brown (2007) said that
the results obtained from intrinsic motivation will be more durable than the results
obtained from extrinsic motivation.
The Correlation between Teachers’ Discipline and Students’ Motivation to Learn English
In learning process inevitably involves teachers and students. Teaching and
seen from the relationship between students and teachers. Zuliana (2010) stated
that "one of the success factors in the educational process is the reciprocal
interaction between students and students, students with teachers, teachers with
teachers, and continuity between all those three things" (p.42).
That encourages the teachers to always maintain and balance between
capabilities that he/she has with the delivery which can be understood by students.
Teacher is one of the pillars who got a great responsibility in this terms, not only
as a transmitter of the material to students, but also as a figure that is expected to
be able to provide examples of good role model to students. Then, Zuliana (2010)
found that there is positive correlation between perceptions students about
teachers’ discipline with motivation to learn. Kanafi (2010) also found that there is
a significant correlation between teachers discipline and student motivation. In
another word, Aziz (2011) found that there is no positive correlation between
teacher discipline and Islamic education students’ motivation in students’
achievement. So, it shows different result depends on where the research
conducted.
The Review of Related Studies
This part discusses the review of related studies which the title “the
correlation between teachers’ discipline and students’ motivation in learning
English at SMA Muhammadiyah 7 Yogyakarta. Moreover, many researchers have studied about correlation between teachers’ discipline and students’ motivation in other views.
discipline and students’ motivation at MA Darunnajah Cipining Bogor”. This
research purposed (1) to know the correlation between teachers’ discipline toward
students’ motivation at XI MA Darunnajah, (2) to know teachers’ discipline at
MA Darunnajah Cipining, (3) to know students’ motivation in learning at XI MA
Darunnajah Cipining. The sample of this research is 70 students at XI MA
Darunnajah Cipining Bogor that involved A class consisted of 30 students, B class consisted of 25 students, and C class consisted of 15 students. The researcher used descriptive quantitative as a methodology and used a questionnaire as an
instrument. The result of this research showed that there was a positive correlation
between teachers’ discipline and students’ motivation at MA Darunnajah Cipining
Bogor. The correlation between teachers’ discipline and students’ motivation
significantly was showed of the result that was resulted from the calculation value
sum “r hitung” bigger than “r tabel” on significance 5% (0, 5>0,224). That
numeral showed that the medium influence between teachers’ discipline and
students’ motivation in learning.
Sa’adah (2010) in his research which the title “the influence of students’ perception toward teachers’ discipline in teaching akidah akhlak toward students’
motivation at X MAN Bawu Jepara years 2009-2010”. The objectives of this
research were (1) to know students’ perception toward teachers’ discipline in
teaching aqidah akhlak at X MAN Bawu Jepara years 2009/2010, (2) to know
students’ motivation at X MAN Bawu Jepara years 2009/2010, and (3) to know
This research used correlation quantitative an a methodology and used a
questionnaire as an instrument. Sample of this research is 30 students. The result
of the research showed that (1) students’ perception about teachers’ discipline at
MAN Bawu Jepara was good. It was proofed by using a questionnaire that
consisted of 30 questions and the result of value average was 108,6. So, there was on interval (106-112) and it meant that the result was good. (2) Students’
motivation at MAN Bawu Jepara years 2009/2010 was good. It was proofed by using a questionnaire that consisted of 30 questions and the result of value average was 104. So, there was on interval (97-104) and it meant that the result
was enough. (3) Students’ perception on teachers’ discipline in aqidah akhlak
subject toward students’ motivation in X class at MAN Bawu Jepara years
2009/2010. It was proofed of the result of calculation (31,609), was consulted with Ftabel (Ft), good on belief level 95%. Freg 31,609> Ft(0,05= 4,20 and Freg 31,609 >Ft (0,01= 7,64). Because the result of Freg was bigger than Ft, so the
result was the influence between students’ perception toward teachers’ discipline
and students’ motivation.
Zuliana (2010) stated in her research titled “students’ perception about the correlation between teachers’ discipline and students’ motivation at SMP
Muhammadiyah Wonosegoro, Boyolali year 2010”. The purposes of this research
were (1) to know the students’ perception toward teachers’ discipline, (2) to know
students’ motivation in learning, and (3) to know the influence between teachers’
discipline toward students’ motivation in learning at SMPMuhammadiyah
Muhammadiyah Wonosegoro year 2010 and the sample was 40 students (25%) by using random sampling. In analyzing data, the researcher used descriptive
technique. The researcher also used a questionnaire and documentation as an instrument in collecting the data. The result of this research showed that (1)
students’ perception toward teachers’ discipline was high category that was 6
students (15%), medium category that was 22 students (55%), and low category
that was 12 students (30%). Furthermore, (2) students’ motivation in learning at
SMP Muhammadiyah Wonosegoro which included high category that was 1 students (2,5%), medium category that was 11 students (27,5%), and low category that was 28 students (70%).
Yang kategori rendah, ada 28 siswa (70%). The next analysis used formula of product moment value ro = 0,587 more big than value rt. Significance level was 5% (0,312) and 1% (0,403), so that the hypothesis was accepted. So, there was
positive correlation teachers’ discipline and students’ motivation in learning at
SMP Muhammadiyah Wonosegoro year 2010.
The discussions of previous researches give much information about the
correlation between teachers’ discipline and students’ motivation in learning for
the researcher. But the differences can be seen from the objective of the research,
the place of the research, and the participant of the research. Nonetheless, all those
researches are very important for the researcher in conducting this research.
Hypothesis of the Research

Chapter Three Methodology
This chapter discusses the method used by the researcher in measuring
the correlation between teachers’ discipline and students’ motivation to learn
English at SMA Muhammadiyah 7 Yogyakarta. This chapter consists of research
design, research setting, population, sampling and sample, data collection
instrument, data collection procedure and data analysis.
Research Design
In investigating the correlation between teachers’ discipline and
students’ motivation in learning English at SMA Muhammadiyah 7 Yogyakarta,
the researcher used quantitative method, especially survey design. The reason why
the researcher used quantitative methodology was because this research is
examining the correlation between two variables which were teachers’ discipline
and students’ motivation at SMA Muhammadiyah 7 Yogyakarta. Creswell (2012)
argues that quantitative design is a method for measuring certain theories by
researching the correlation between two or more variables. Therefore, the
researcher used descriptive correlation in this research. Simon and Goes (2011)
also elaborates that “Correlational studies display the relationships among
variables by such techniques as cross-tabulation and correlations.” (p.1).
This research used survey design. Survey design is a series of questions
or statements, called items, used in a questioners or interview to measure the self
