Introduction Studying process is leading the human who could develop and actualize all of themselves ability. It’s obtained in the education environment both in family, school and society (Zeegers, 2004). Basically, studying activities aim to bring out of the positive changes in order to people could lead a maturity (Rahmi, 2005). That change is showing the positive effect that is a achievement be a core of studying process (Graves, 2011). A lot of previous research explains the student achievement. For example, Cassidy’s research (2012) classifies the studying methodology of students, ages, gender, studying priority, and academic control as the affecting factor of student achievement. The student achievement in Indonesia particularly at Pekanbaru City is still come under the level of student achievement. Based on data from that school, as many 42,3% social student in senior high public school Pekanbaru Kecamatan Rumbai, don’t graduate in daily examinations and must have attended the remedial examinations. In studying process, the student achievement can be affected by a few factor. Davis (2006) explained that reward is the important factor in creating a motivation for children to learn and expert to do something new such as a new skill. Arnold (2014) explained that the punishment has a positive result to increase a student achievement. Besides reward and punishment, Siburian (2013) explained that through a good interpersonal communication could affect a student achievement as well. Barbour (1974) explained that focus interpersonal communication is on an attitude and will which is expanding an available choice to interpersonal communication, that is including on cognitive and affective fields. Students discipline is the important things in a studying (Jessop, 2016). Stanley (2014) explained that there’s a discipline and then a student achievement will be increasing as well and the fact is a discipline affectivity will be supporting a student achievement. Luiselli (2016) taking to heart the student discipline then will be mending the moral character students, increasing social abilities, decreasing anti-social behaved and increasing academic competitions. Based on the above theory, subsequently that research is making a reward, punishment, interpersonal communication, and discipline as the affecting factor of student achievement. On this research, a reward, punishment, communication interpersonal will be an exogenous variable while a discipline will be an intervening variable and a student achievement will be an endogenous variable. This following is a conceptual framework. mailto:jumerliariati@gmail.com The journal of Ultimate Research and Trends in Education Available online at: http://ojs.journal.unilak.ac.id/index.php/elsya Vol. 2, No. 2, July 2020, pp. 44-49 45 2. METHOD The research is using quantitative method research and with descriptive type. This research sample is the social students in senior high public school Pekanbaru Kecamatan Rumbai. The research population is 774 students and the sample is 261 which is using the random sampling technique. This research instrument is using the questionnaire. The research data analysis is using Path Analysis with SPSS 16.00 for windows program. 3. RESULT This research is explaining about the affecting factor of student achievement using a path analysis. The first path analysis (table 1) is explaining the affecting of a reward, punishment, communication, interpersonal for a discipline. The second path analysis (table 3) is explaining the affecting of a reward, punishment, communication, interpersonal for a student achievement. From the regression of model 1 on the coefficient table is known that the significant grade of third variable that is X¬1 = 0,015, X2 = 0,000 and X3 = 0,042 smaller than 0,05. The result is giving a conclusion that the regression of model 1 that is X1, X2, and X3 taking significant effect for X4. To look the substantial contribution or the other variable path coefficients on the first path analysis could see on the table (2). The grade R2 on an above table is as big as 0,276. The thing is showing up that contribution or effect X1, X2, and X3 for X4 which is as big as 27,6% meanwhile the leftover 72,4% is the contributions from the others variables which don’t be input in this research. While for the grade to Px4ε will be explain with formula: The calculation results using SPSS version 16.00 program is obtained results from a substructure 2 and path coefficient of a reward, punishment, communication interpersonal for a student achievement which could see this following table 3. From the regression of model 2 on table 3 could be known the significant grade from fourth variable that is X¬1 = 0,003, X2 = 0,000, X3 = 0,015, X4 = 0,038 smaller than 0,05. The result is giving a conclusion that the regression of model 2 that is X1, X2, X3 and X4 taking a significant effect for Y. To look the substantial contribution or the other variable path coefficients on the first path analysis could see on the table 4 The grade R2 on a table 26 is as big as 0,243. The thing is showing up that contribution or effect X1, X2, X3, X4 for Y which is as big as 24,3% meanwhile the leftover 75,7% is the contributions from the others variables which don’t be input in this research. While for the grade to Pyε2 will be explain with formula: Image 2: The structure of final path analysis The journal of Ultimate Research and Trends in Education Available online at: http://ojs.journal.unilak.ac.id/index.php/elsya Vol. 2, No. 2, July 2020, pp. 44-49 46 4. Discussion 4.1. The Influence of Reward on Discipline Based on the results of the path analysis that has been done, the coefficient value of the direct effect of reward on discipline is 1.83% and the value of the coefficient of indirect effect of reward on learning outcomes through student discipline is 0.31%. Hypothesis testing shows that reward has a positive and significant effect on discipline. This means that the intensity in giving rewards will determine the level of student discipline. This research proves that giving rewards to children will improve behavior in accordance with applicable rules, and make children to avoid themselves from actions that are not in accordance with the rules and behave in discipline. This finding is in accordance with the opinion of Faidy (2014), Reward is an educational tool that is easy to implement and can please students, for that reward in an educational process requires its existence, because the role of reward in the teaching process can influence and direct student behavior. Choirun (2013) which explains that rewards are one of the elements in discipline. 4.2. The Effect of Punishment Based on the results of the path analysis that has been done, the coefficient of direct influence on discipline is 19.09% and the coefficient of indirect effect on learning outcomes through student discipline is 1.71%. Hypothesis testing shows that punishment has a positive and significant effect on discipline. This means that the intensity of the punishment will determine the level of discipline of students. This research proves that the provision of punishment in the field of education can improve behavior that is not in accordance with the norms that are believed to be by weakening behavior, and as an educational tool that can shape the discipline of children in complying with applicable rules. This finding is in line with the opinion of Choirun (2013) who explains that punishment is one of the elements in the discipline of having a short-term goal is to stop wrong behavior. While the long-term goal is to teach and encourage children to stop their own wrong behavior. Punishment is an element of discipline that can be used to make children behave according to the standards set by their social groups. 4.3. Interpersonal Communication Effect Based on the results of the path analysis that has been done, the coefficient of direct influence of interpersonal communication on discipline is 1.23%. Hypothesis testing shows that interpersonal communication has a positive and significant effect on discipline. This means that good or bad interpersonal communication that is established will determine the level of student discipline. This research proves that interpersonal communication can change attitudes, opinions, or behavior both directly and indirectly (by using the media). In the principle of communication, when the communicant receives a message or information, it means that the communicant has got an influence from the communication process. Because basically, communication is a phenomenon, an experience. Each experience will give meaning to the situation of human life, including giving certain meanings to the possibility of changes in children's disciplinary attitudes. This finding is in line with the opinion of Derin, et al : 2020; Marpaung et al: 2019; Haryono : 2016) who explains that teachers must have effective communication skills in disciplining students. Through effective communication skills the teacher is able to accept all feelings, and encourage compliance and reciprocity from students. Hence, this kind of communication event is so called interpersonal communication (Sapitri, et al: 2019). 4.4. The Effect of Reward Based on the results of the path analysis that has been done, the coefficient value of the direct effect of reward on learning outcomes is 2.95% and the coefficient value of the indirect effect of reward on learning outcomes through student discipline is 0.31%. Hypothesis testing shows that reward has a positive and significant effect on learning outcomes. This means that the intensity in giving rewards will determine the level of student learning outcomes. This research proves that reward as an educational tool is able to encourage children to improve their learning outcomes and become even more active in their efforts to improve the achievements they have achieved. This finding is in line with the opinion of Jones (2016) which explains that reward is given in the form of material or social symbols that can influence attitudes and motivation in achieving certain learning goals. In an educational context, rewards are usually material offerings or social symbols of recognition intended to influence behavior and motivation can include the desire to reach subject goals. The journal of Ultimate Research and Trends in Education Available online at: http://ojs.journal.unilak.ac.id/index.php/elsya Vol. 2, No. 2, July 2020, pp. 44-49 47 Hamid (2006) added that rewards are given to children with the intention of appreciation and pride in the work and achievements of children, as well as with the intention that children do it continuously, increase their enthusiasm and motivation and interest in work and study. With a good encouragement in learning will show good results. In addition, through rewards will affect student discipline which will indirectly improve student learning outcomes. Choirun (2013) which explains that rewards are one of the elements in discipline. Onderi and Odera (2012), added in their research entitled Discipline as a tool for effective school management. This research shows that by applying discipline to every stakeholder in the school will be able to improve moral education, regulate attitudes and behavior, and improve the learning process and learning outcomes. 4.5. The Effect of Punishment Based on the results of the path analysis that has been done, the coefficient of direct influence on learning outcomes obtained is 7.45% and the coefficient of indirect effect of punishment on learning outcomes through student discipline is 1.71%. Hypothesis testing shows that punishment has a positive and significant effect on learning outcomes. This means that the intensity of the punishment will determine the level of student learning outcomes. This research proves that punishment as an educational tool can encourage children to improve their learning outcomes and become even more active in their efforts to improve the achievements they have achieved. This finding is in line with the opinion of Ghersoff (2017) who explains that punishment can maintain the behavior of children in the school environment, besides that punishment can also be used to influence student learning and achievement. Punishment was effective at maintaining appropriate student behavior, school punishment would be expected to predict better learning and achievement among students. Punishment is an element of discipline that can be used to make children behave according to the standards set by their social groups. Through discipline, student learning outcomes will indirectly increase. Stanley (2014) which explains the existence of discipline, student academic performance will also increase and the fact that the effectiveness of the discipline will support the results of student learning achievement. 6. Effect of Interpersonal Communication on Social Studies student learning outcomes in economic subjects in the state senior high school Pekanbaru, Rumbai district From the results of the study note that interpersonal communication has a significant effect on social studies student learning outcomes in economic subjects in the state senior high school Pekanbaru, Rumbai district. Based on the results of the path analysis that has been done, the coefficient of the direct influence of interpersonal communication on learning outcomes is 1.87% and the coefficient of the indirect effect of interpersonal communication on learning outcomes through student discipline is 0.21%. Hypothesis testing shows that interpersonal communication has a positive and significant effect on learning outcomes. This means that good or bad interpersonal communication that is established will determine the level of student learning outcomes. This finding is in line with the opinion of Muflicah (2016) which explains that effective interpersonal communication in learning is a process of transforming messages in the form of science and technology from educators to students, where students are able to understand the purpose of the message in accordance with predetermined goals, thereby adding insight science and technology and lead to changes in behavior for the better. Barbour (1974) explains that interpersonal communication focuses on attitudes and abilities which broadens the choices available for interpersonal communication, this includes the cognitive and affective domains. Nurochim (2013, 14) explains that there are three domains in learning outcomes namely, the cognitive domain, the affective domain, and the psychomotor. Haryono (2016) which explains that teachers must have effective communication skills in disciplining students, through discipline the learning outcomes of students will increase. Onderi and Odera (2012), added in their research entitled Discipline as a tool for effective school management. This research shows that by applying discipline to every stakeholder in the school will be able to improve moral education, regulate attitudes and behavior, and improve the learning process and learning outcomes. 4.7. The Effect of Discipline Based on the results of the path analysis that has been done, the coefficient of the direct influence of discipline on learning outcomes is 1.76%. Hypothesis testing shows that discipline has a positive and significant effect on learning outcomes. This means that good or bad student discipline will determine the level of student learning outcomes. This research proves that the achievement of good learning outcomes is not only due to the presence of sufficient, good, and excellent intelligence, but also supported by strict and consistent discipline, individual discipline in learning, and also because of good behavior. The journal of Ultimate Research and Trends in Education Available online at: http://ojs.journal.unilak.ac.id/index.php/elsya Vol. 2, No. 2, July 2020, pp. 44-49 48 This finding is in line with the opinion of Stanley (2014) which explains that with discipline the student's academic performance will also increase and the fact that the effectiveness of the discipline will support the results of student learning achievement. If school is effectively disciplined, the academic performance on the part of students and teachers will be highly rated (Stanley, 2014). The fact that effective discipline helps in the achievement of goals, expectation and responsibility in students (Dunham, in Stanley, 2014). 5.
