INTRODUCTION 

Education has a role to form quality and quality human resources.  According to Law No.

education is a conscious and planned effort to realize the atmosphere of learning and learning 

process so that learners actively develop their potential to have religious spiritual power, self-

control, personality, intelligence, noble morals, and skills. The development of potential learners 

requires the role of teachers to provide an authentic and meaningful learning experience.

Teachers are one of the learning components that serve to guide students and provide 

learning facilities for students2. So teachers must master the material, understand the learning 

model, and have creativity in creating learning media. The existence of innovative learning models 

supported by interesting media, the learning process will be effective.  Improved effectiveness of 

the learning process indicates the achievement of learning objectives. So teachers should be able 

to master the learning model and create interesting media. Learners need varied, authentic learning 

experiences that can develop their full potential (knowledge, attitude, and skills). 

PKn teachers who are supposed to act as fasilisators, have problems, according to 

Widatmaka3 explaining that teachers in the subjects of Citizenship Education (PKn) in carrying 

out their role, PKn teachers have problems. PKn teachers do not act as facilitators  but as the main 

learning resource. PKn teachers tend to use lecture methods, so students only master knowledge. 

Students need the right learning media to develop aspects of knowledge, skills, and attitudes.  One 

of the media that can be used to make it easier for students to master materials is  Google Classroom 

media. 

Accordingto Hakim in Ernawati4 ,  Google Classroom is an internet-based service provided 

by  Google as an e-learning  system  designed to help teachers create and share assignments with 

students  paperless.   Google Classroom  has functions, among others,  (1) facilitate communication 

between teachers and students. (2) motivate the activeness of learners. (3) improving the learning 

facilities of learners.  In addition to the above functions,  google classroom can also foster the character 

of student responsibility. The use of the Google Classroom app can also strengthen the character 

of learners, including: the discipline of collecting assignments, commitment, honesty in doing 

tasks, and responsibilities. 

The character of responsibility is the behavior that determines how the individual reacts to 

the situation on a daily basis, which requires some kind of moral decision. According to Kustomo5 

Characteristics of attitude of responsibility, among others, (1) performing routine tasks without 

having to be told, (2) can explain what he does, (3) able to determine the choice of several 

alternatives, the form of behavior of responsibility of learners can be shown through the ability of 

learners in determining their choices in considering alternatives that feel appropriate.  

Using the Google Classroom app in school learning is one of the first steps to give students 

an idea and preparation for using information technology and to facilitate teacher and student 

interaction in cyberspace6. This application gives teachers the opportunity to explore their

scientific ideas to students that aim to help create active, effective, efficient and fun learning. Using  

Google Classroom can also make it easier for students to learn anytime, anywhere7. 

Based on the results of a preliminary study conducted by researchers at SMKN 3 Jombang, 

through an interview with Mrs. Laksmi Nusantari, S.Pd, M.Pd as a PKn teacher showed  that Google 

Classroom  media has a positive impact for students and fosters the character of student 

responsibility. The purpose of this study is to reveal the influence of Google Classroom media on 

the character of the responsibility of students at SMK N 3 Jombang. 

 

METHODS 

Research method is a way used to know or be interpreted as a science that learns about the 

ways that must be taken in an effort to achieve a goal to gain scientific knowledge. The type of 

research used in this research is quantitative research. Quantitative research method is a method 

of research is based on the philosophy of positivism, so it is referred to as posivistic method. This 

method is referred to as a scientific method because it has fulfilled scientific rules that are empirical, 

objective, measurable, rational and systematic. (Sugiyono,2018:7) 

The population in  this study is all students of class XI numbering 575 at SMK Negeri 3 

Jombang based on random sampling techniques of the selected class xi tkj 1 and 2 which amounted 

to 72 people. Researchers use questionnaire methods with questionnaire instruments including: (1)  

Google ClassroomMedia, and (2) Attitude of responsibility that is first conducted a test of the validity 

and reality of the questionnaire. Data analysis techniques using  Product Moment formula with SPSS 

calculation version 21. 

 

RESULT AND DISCUSSION 

Validity and Reliability Test  

a. Validity Test Results  

Validity test in this study using product moment person. A variable is valid if the resulting 

correlation value is from the critic value ( r table ) or p value <sig  = 0.05 to know the validity 

of the calculation can be done by comparing r count with r table (0,312) Validity test results 

can be seen in the following table:

From the tests Tbale 1 and 2, all variable items consisting of Google Classroom media 

variables (X), the responsibility variable (Y) has a calculated r>r table (0.312). Thus it can be 

concluded that all research variables are valid.  

 

b. Reliability test  

The method used in this reliability test is cronbach alpha (r alpha) method with SPSS 21 

program shown by the magnitude of alpha value (a) reliability decision making of a variable 

determined by comparing the value of r alpha with r table, if r alpha>0.6 then the variable 

studied is reliable 

The analysis of variable reliability test in this study can be seen in the following table:

Based on the results of reliability test in can be the value of cronbach's alpha coefficient that 

is r alpha >0,6 from the overall poll item about google classroom media that got alpha Cronbach's  

result 0.696 da r table 0.6 contained in each variable reliable because it is greater than r table. from 

the results of the analysis of validity and reliability tests that are above  cronbach's alpha with a result 

of 0.696 > 0.06 can be distributed to all respondents 40 people because each item shows valid and 

reliable results.

table above alpha Cronbach's  with a result of 0.696 > 0.06 can be distributed to all respondents 40

shows there is an influence between google classroom learning media variables on the attitude of 

responsibility of grade XI learners in SMK N 3 Jombang. 

The influence of Google Classroom  media on the character of student responsibility,  because 

as it is known that the media is one component of learning that has an important role in the 

educational process. Students really need the right learning media to develop aspects of knowledge, 

skills, and attitudes. Improved effectiveness of the learning process indicates the achievement of 

learning objectives .  (Jayawerdana & Kraayenoord, 2019), teachers need to provide reinforcement 

to students related to mental abilities, verbal abilities, and academic skills. Teachers have the 

autonomy to choose learning strategies, learning resources, assessment methods that are 

appropriate to achieve the goals and learning outcomes of learners.  

 

CONCLUSION 
The dissemination of instruments that have been conducted tests of validity and realibity 

of questionnaires, therefore from the results of data collection by conducting tests using SPSS 

version 21 shows a calculated r value of 0.060 >r table 0.312 with sig 0.713<0.05 so that it can be

Suggestion 

From the results of the study researchers can provide the following advice: 

1. Improved student-centered learning should give more autonomy to students and teachers in 

the learning and teaching process. 

2. Teachers in choosing learning strategies can use inquiry-based learning practices 

3. Teachers as fasilisators should provide opportunities for learners to develop learning 

independence, responsibility, help build their own knowledge, and learn to collaborate with 

other learners.
