Abstract

Not all students remain focused during classroom learning. Some engage in other activities that divert their attention from the learning process. This behavior is known as off-task behavior. This study examines six aspects of off-task behavior in classrooms: inattention, out of seat, noncompletion of task, talking without permission, unmotivated to learn, and unprepared for class, among high school and vocational school students in Salatiga. This research employs a quantitative comparative method with an Independent Sample t-test for statistical analysis. The participants are 500 students, including 250 high school students and 250 vocational school students, selected through purposive sampling. Results indicate no significant difference in off-task behavior between high school and vocational school students (p = 0.451). Both high school and vocational school students predominantly fall into the moderate category. This study provides insights into differences in behavioral tendencies and aspects of off-task behavior in the classroom.
