Different Learning, Learning Interests, and The Use of Technology in Learning on Economic Learning Outcomes: An Empirical Study with Family Support as Mediation on High School Students

This study aims to analyze the influence of Differentiated Learning, Learning Interest, and Technology Utilization on Economic Learning Outcomes among students at SMA Negeri 11 Makassar, with Family Support as a mediating variable. Using a quantitative approach with a descriptive method, data were collected through questionnaires, interviews, and documentation. The research sample consisted of 92 students, selected through stratified sampling from a population of 1,120 students using the Slovin formula. Data analysis was conducted using SmartPLS to examine the relationships between variables. The findings indicate that Differentiated Learning significantly affects Economic Learning Outcomes (β = 0.183; p = 0.018). Learning Interest has the strongest influence (β = 0.382; p = 0.001), followed by Technology Utilization (β = 0.171; p = 0.012). Family Support plays a crucial role in improving students’ learning outcomes (β = 0.293; p = 0.000) and mediates the influence of other variables on economic learning outcomes. The mediation effect of Family Support strengthens the impact of Differentiated Learning (β = 0.098; p = 0.042), Learning Interest (β = 0.177; p = 0.004), and Technology Utilization (β = 0.152; p = 0.008) on students’ economic learning outcomes. The results of this study emphasize that diverse learning approaches, strong family support, high learning interest, and optimal technology utilization significantly enhance students’ economic learning outcomes. These findings have implications for educators and parents in developing more effective learning strategies both in school and at home.
