Courtship is already common in this day and age. If you do not have a

girlfriend then we would be very out of date. This is what makes teenage

teenager is now a prestige when it does not have a girlfriend. With their

girlfriends can flaunt it. There are also thought to have had a girlfriend for

more than one person. Because if the assumption they could have more than

one girlfriend means he is a steady and very salable. Pride is what ultimately

makes the danger. Courtship is also used as an ingredient to satisfy lust. This

is quite common among teenagers today. This is very dangerous. But

dating. But in some cases it can also improve morale dating teens learn.

They can encourage each other to learn, even teenagers are rarely studied

LITERATURE REVIEW

2.1 Definition of Courtship

According DeGenova & Rice (2005) definition is going to run a

relationship where two people meet and conduct a series of joint activities in

order to get to know each other. According to Bowman (1978) dating is fun

activity between a man and a woman who are not married, where it will be

the primary basis to provide mutual influence to further relations before

marriage in America.

Benokraitis (1996) adds that courtship is a process where a person

meets with the other person in a social context that aims to explore the

possibility of whether or not the person is suitable as a mate. According to

Saxton (in Bowman, 1978), dating is an event that has been planned and

include a variety of joint activities between the two people (usually done by

young people and unmarried opposite sex). 

Kyns (1989) adds that courtship is a relationship between two people

of the opposite sex and they have an emotional attachment, which is based

relationship because of certain feelings in their hearts. According to Reiss

(in Duvall & Miller, 1985) dating is a relationship between a man and a

woman who colored intimacy. According to Papalia, Olds & Feldman

(2004), intimacy includes a sense of ownership. Openness to disclose

6

important information about the self to others (self-disclosure) to be the

main element of intimacy.

Based on the above statements, it can be concluded sense courtship is

marked by a series of joint activities intimacy (such as a sense of ownership

and self-disclosure) and the emotional attachment between a man and a

woman who are not married in order to know each other and see the fit

between each other as consideration before marriage.

2.2 Definition of Learning Achievement

Achievement is the result of someone who has achieved in doing

activities. Gagne (1985) states that learning achievement can be divided into

five aspects: intellectual skills, cognitive strategies, verbal information,

attitudes and skills. According to Bloom in Suharsimi Arikunto (1990) that

the learning outcomes can be divided into three aspects: cognitive, affective

and psychomotor.

3.1 Identify the Problem

Identify the problem or issue is the introduction of Inventory problem.

Identify the problem is one of the research process arguably the most

important among other processes. Research problem will determine the

quality of the research, even determining whether an activity can be called

research or not. Research problem in general can be found through the study

of literature or through field observations (observation, surveys, etc.).

Problems that will be identified by the authors in this paper include :

1. The positive and negative impact on student achievement courtship

Astra Manufacturing Polytechnic.

2. How to overcome the negative impact of courtship.

3.2 Method of Data Collection

In this study the authors used data collection methods include :

1. Observation

8

Observation is the systematic observation and recording of the elements

that appear in a symptom or symptoms in the object of research.

observations made prior to the interviews and questionnaires.

2. Questionnaires

Questionnaire or the questionnaire is a data collection technique

indirectly (indirect researcher asked the respondents answered). Authors

distributed questionnaires contained a number of questions that must be

answered by the respondents.

3.3 Research Sites

What's that I use for research of this paper is on Astra Manufacturing

Polytechnic.

3.4 Object Research

In this study the authors object sampled from Astra Manufacturing

Polytechnic students. So our research developed from the answers given by

Astra Manufacturing Polytechnic students.

3.5 Data Collection Techniques

Qualitative data is data that collected by means of a process that saw

the object of research. Such data over see the process rather than the result

9

because it is based on the description of the process and not on mathematical

calculations.

CHAPTER IV

DISCUSSION

The author has made observations by distributing questionnaires to 33 students Astra Manufacturing Polytechnic.

Observation and questionnaire that has been done, among others:

4.1 The presumption Teens About Dating

Most respondents have a girlfriend. It can be seen from the above

diagram that shows 55% of respondents answered that they have a girlfriend.

could say they think it is not important courtship because the students thought

that going to affect student achievement. This can be seen in the diagram

their academic achievement.

From the diagram above it can be said that the respondent admits that

students, 24 of them said that dating can trigger their enthusiasm for learning.

Other evidence can be seen in the table above. Respondents who answered

that dating could spark enthusiasm for learning they have a higher GPA than

to say no. So this is one of the positive impact of courtship.

4.3 Negative Impact of courtship

From the diagram and table above it can be concluded that the

respondents who had a girlfriend had an average grade point values are lower

than those who did not have a boyfriend.

From the diagram and table above it can be said that the respondents

higher than the respondents who said that the courtship was important.

Of both the data above shows the negative impact of courtship. Student

average GPA score lower than those who did not have a boyfriend and dating

it considered unimportant.

4.4 How to Tackle Negative Impact of Courtship

From the explanation above shows the impact of courting both

negative and positive impacts impacts. For some students courtship is

considered important because it is useful to trigger their enthusiasm for

learning. They can encourage each other even in some cases many students

vying to get better grades with her boyfriend. If this condition is like going to

a positive impact on students.

But the above data also showed that students who had a girlfriend had

an average GPA score lower than students who do not have a boyfriend.

Some students who are in love usually will be more focused on courtship

than learning. They're too cool to forget about dating other more important

things like learning. This is the impact of a courtship which should be

avoided.

We may have a girlfriend as long as it does not interfere with our

academic achievement. To avoid the negative effects of courtship we should

always give priority to learning. We can do this in various ways. For

example, before the start of our relationship with our partner can commit the

time to lecture professionalism and courtship. When in college, focus on

17

college, beyond the new thing we're talking about a personal relationship

with a girlfriend.

CHAPTER V

CLOSING

5.1 Conclusion

Of all the explanations can be concluded that dating among students

have positive and negative effects. Positive impact, by courting students have

a passion for learning. They can direct their relationships to improve

performance. While damooak negative, may result in a student going to

forget all the things that are actually more important than dating. They prefer

a date with his girlfriend rather than learning. This is something that should

be avoided.

5.2 Suggestions

Author to reader suggestions :

1. Courtship is allowed but should not interfere with our learning activities.

2. Prioritizing learning rather than going out.

3. We should be able to divide the time when, as we learn and when the

time for courtship.

4. Use going to spark enthusiasm for learning, such as boyfriend invited us
