Siti Rahmah Maulidiyah, Elsa Siti Shalma, Silvi Fauzia

This study aims to analyze the extent of the contribution of students' attitudes and independence to the perception of comfort in the learning process at the elementary school level. The main problem raised is the low level of learning independence which is assumed to have a correlation with the quality of the learning environment and the affective characteristics of students. The study adopted a quantitative approach through a survey method, with data collection carried out through the distribution of questionnaires to elementary school students. The data analysis was carried out using the Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) approach with the help of SmartPLS software. The research instrument was compiled based on indicators adapted from previous research and measured using a four-point Likert scale. The sample consisted of 240 elementary school students in West Java Province, consisting of 124 male students and 116 female students with an age range between 9 and 11 years. The results of the analysis showed that the three main hypotheses in the study obtained a significance value (p-value) below 0.05, which indicates a statistically significant relationship. These findings confirm that the variables of attitude and independence have a significant influence on students' learning comfort. The developed model also showed adequate fit (model fit), as reflected in the Standardized Root Mean Square Residual (SRMR) value of 0.087, which is still within the tolerance limit although slightly above the ideal standard. The implications of these findings emphasize the importance of strengthening aspects of students' attitudes and independence as a basis for the formulation of more effective learning strategies at the elementary school level. Therefore, it is recommended to conduct follow-up research with a wider coverage of the population and consider additional variables that have the potential to affect comfort in the learning process.

This study aims to investigate the influence of anxiety on elementary school students’ attitudes toward learning mathematics. Utilizing a descriptive quantitative approach with path analysis through the Partial Least Square (PLS) method, data were collected via structured questionnaires distributed to students. The research focuses on two forms of anxiety: cognitive and somatic, and their relationship with students' attitudes toward mathematics. The findings reveal that cognitive anxiety significantly affects students' attitudes, whereas somatic anxiety does not have a direct impact. However, somatic anxiety strongly influences cognitive anxiety, indirectly shaping students’ attitudes. This suggests that negative thoughts and fears play a more decisive role in students' learning engagement than physical symptoms. These results underline the need for psychological and emotional interventions, teacher training, and supportive learning environments to address students’ anxiety early. The study contributes to the educational field by offering insight into how psychological dynamics influence learning and providing strategies to foster positive attitudes toward mathematics in elementary education.
