This research employed a descriptive quantitative method, with a sample consisting of 28 sixth-grade students at in SDN 17 Aro IV Korong during the 2025/2026. Data were collected through a questionnaire comprising 20 statements and were analyzed based on the percentage of students' agreement with each item.
