This research used a quantitative descriptive approach involving 42 junior high school students as research subjects. The instruments used included a questionnaire with 5 to 6 for each statement for five main factors that the students must completed by choosing a scale 1 to 5, where 1 means ‘strongly disagree’ to 5 ‘strongly agree’, and an interview with the teacher.
