Ta'awun Attitude Development Method Through Behavior Modification with Contract Strengthening, is it Effective?

Abstract

The development of student competencies in higher education is not only focused on hard skills in the form of academic abilities, but also soft skills and life skills, one of which is the ability to socialize and collaborate with the environment. To establish good relationships so that social conflict does not occur, students must be able to be adaptive and develop a ta'awun attitude or what we usually interpret as a cooperative attitude. The aim of this research is to develop a ta'awun attitude through behavior modification by strengthening contracts. The research method uses an experiment with a "non-equivalent group pretest-posttest control design". The sample in this research came from FKIP UNISRI students who were taken using purposive sampling technique. Data analysis used the Wilcoxon Test with the SPSS application.  The significance value of the experimental group is 0.005 < 0.05, so Ho is rejected and Ha is accepted, meaning that there is a significant difference between the pretest and posttest scores for the ta'awun attitude of the experimental group due to behavior modification treatment with contract reinforcement. The significance value for the control group was 0.357 > 0.05. This means that there is no difference in the pretest and posttest scores for Ta'awun attitudes in the control group. Meanwhile, the significance value of increasing Ta'awun between the experimental group and the control group is 0.005 <0.05 with a Z value of -2.814, which shows a significant difference between the two. From these results it is concluded that behavior modification by strengthening contracts is effective in developing Ta'awun attitudes
