Chapter+4

This chapter presents the results of our investigation. It includes information such as course, gender, age and residential college. 60 students among 2nd year FSKKP students are taken to participate in this study. The entire respondent gave their cooperation to us without any problems. From the whole respondents, 30 of them are male and another 30 are female. The age between them are 19, 20, 21 and 22 years old. 3 over 60 respondents are 19 years old. 35 over 60 of them are 20 years old. 19 over 60 of the respondents are 21 and 5 over 60 are 22 years old. Most of them are from KK3(Kolej Kediaman 3). A few of them stay at KK1, KK2 and KK3. Most types of data are best presented in a well graph or chart that describes its focus and highlights the most important points for the reader. __4.1.2 The effects of absenteeism on performance __
 * 4.0 __Demographic Data__ **
 * 4.1 __Findings__**

 4.1.2.1

The pyramid chart shows the frequency of how often 2nd year of FSKKP student absent from a class. According to the chart, we can see that the highest respondents which are 30 over 60 of respondents answer 4-6 times / semester they absent from a class. There are 14 over 60 of respondents answer more than 6 times / semester they absent from a class. From that chart, 9 over 60 of respondents answer never absent from a class and 7 over 60 respondents answer 1-3 times / semester. It can conclude that most of the students absent from a class more than 4 times.

4.1.2.2 The cone chart shows the frequency of subject which student were absent for more than 3 times per semester. According to the graph we can see that only 16 over 60 respondents filled the column in the survey. From the cone chart, 9 over 16 respondents were absent from faculty subject class. For the university subject class, there are 4 over 16 respondents absent from the class. Therefore, 2 out of 16 respondents were absent from elective subject class and one over 16 respondents were absent from course subject class. It can conclude that most of the students were absent from faculty subject class which subject is important in studies.

4.1.2.3

The pie chart shows the frequency of the respondents about their opinion about the affect of absenteeism in performance. 67% of respondents whish are 40 over 60 respondents answer ‘yes’ for affect of absenteeism in performance. 30% which are 18 over 60 of respondents answer ‘no’ for absenteeism will affect in performance and 3% which are 2 over 60 respondents do not answer this question. From pyramid chart, we can see that 29 over 60 respondents answer ‘they will miss learning’ for the reason why they agree that absenteeism may affect on performance. 17 over 60 of respondents answer ‘they can study themselves’ which means they do not agree that absenteeism affect in performance. For 5 over 60 respondents answer ‘result drop’ also may agree that absenteeism affect in performance. 5 over 60 respondents give no answer for this questions survey and 4 over 60 answer ‘not study’ for the reason why absenteeism affect in performance. It can conclude that most of the students agree that absent from class will affect on their performance.

**__4.1.3 The Ways to Overcome Absenteeism__** Bar chart 1: The frequency of the need at university for the some programs. The bar chart shows the frequency of the need at university for the some programs. According to the chart, we can see that most of the respondents are answering ‘Yes’ for all the programs that already exists in our university that are friendly and mutually respectful lecturer or student relation, smaller class sizes that has only 30 students, and established a program of constantly emphasizing the benefits of attending class to students. For the friendly and mutually respectful lecturer or student relation program, 46 out of 60 respondents are answering ‘Yes’. From that, no ones are disagree to improve the current program. 11 respondents are not so sure about to improve it and only 8 respondents are really agreed to make this program becomes better. There are 14 over 60 respondents that answering ‘No’ about the program that already exists. Only one respondent disagree to make that program. For the average results that are four respondents are not for sure about this. Three respondents are agreed to do this program in the university. Besides that, most of the respondent are answering that the program of the smaller class sizes that are only 30 students in a class are already exists in this university. We can see that only one person out of 52 respondents disagrees to improve this current program. 15 out of 52 respondents are not too agreed to improve it and 11 respondents are agree that we need to improve the current program. In the chart, there are eight respondents that answering ‘No’. Most of that are really agreed to make this program. The last program is to establish a program of constantly emphasizing the benefits of attending class to students. 31 out of 60 respondents are answering ‘Yes’ to the program that already exists. From the chart above, one of them is disagreed to improve this program. Nine of 31 respondents are said average to improve the existing program. Only six respondents are agreed to improve the current program. Based on the chart, there are 29 respondents that answering ‘No’ and only one respondent is disagree to make this program. Nine respondents are not so agreed to make this program and five respondents are agreed to establish a program of constantly emphasizing the benefits of attending class to students. **__4.2 Discussion__** **__4.2.1 The reasons for absenteeism among UMP student__** ** __4.2.2 The effects of absenteeism on performance __ ** Based on the four effects of absenteeism on performance, student will miss the learning is the best reason or effect on performance when student absent from a class. Therefore, result dropped also one of the effects of absenteeism on performance. Dobkin, Gil(2001) estimate the effect of class attendance on exam performance by implementing a policy in three large economics classes that required students scoring below the median on midterm exam to attend class. From the author we can say that, it is true when student absent from a class, their performance may give effects.

**__4.2.3 The Ways to Overcome Absenteeism__** Based on the three ways to overcome absenteeism, smaller class sizes that are only 30 students in a class are the best way to do in university because students can easier to adopt knowledge and. Carlen, Gleeson and Wardhaugh (1992) said that classrooms, which are undisciplined, obvious lack morality and therefore need some remedy to cure the problems. For the friendly and mutually respectful lecturer or student relationship program, most of the respondents are agreed because may be they are happy with their friends and lecturer are fun to be with. If we combine these two ways, the classes were more interesting, creative and fun and it was not so boring to learn. Establish a program of constantly emphasizing the benefits of attending class to students are not too good because it will makes students becomes more lazy to absent the classes. It is based on the answer that we get from the respondents. So, smaller class sizes and friendly and mutually respectful lecturer or student relationship are the best ways to overcome absenteeism.
