THE SUBSTANTIAL EFFECT OF EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES AND FACILITIES IN ISLAMIC BOARDING SCHOOLS ON THE ENROLLMENT INTEREST OF NEW STUDENTS

Abstract

This study aims to empirically test the variables outlined in the research questions, specifically whether there is a significant relationship between educational facilities and infrastructure (X) and new student interest (Y). A simple random sample of 193 students was selected from a population of 450 students at SD Plus Al-Ishlah and SDN Taman 01 Bondowoso. Simple linear regression analysis was employed to analyze the data, using SPSS version 23 for statistical analysis. The results indicate a significant and positive influence of educational facilities and infrastructure on new student interest. This is supported by the calculated r-value being greater than the critical r-value (11.349 > 1.960). However, the coefficient of correlation is relatively low at 40.3%, suggesting that while there is a relationship, other factors may also contribute to new student interest. The level of significance is 5%. Therefore, the alternative hypothesis (Ha), which states that there is a significant and positive relationship between educational facilities and infrastructure and new student interest, is accepted.
