INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE OF ASEAN PERSPECTIVE AND POLICY RESULT AND ANALYSIS Classic assumption test The classical assumption test is a statistical requirement that must be met in multiple linear analysis, before executing hypothesis testing to ensure that multiple linear regression test can be The coefficient of determination is used to used or not. Normality test is a test used to measure how much school facilities and education determine the normal distributed residual value or costs in explaining student decision making. The coefficient of determination is determined by Adjusted R Square value as shown in the following A coefficient of Determination (R Squar. In the table, the coefficient value of Adjusted R Square 0,475 means that school facilities (X. and education cost (X. can explain the variation of decision making 47,5% and the rest equal to 52. influenced by other variables outside of the variable studied. Test t . Based on the result of multiple regression equation influences of school facilities and tuition Figure1. The results of normality testing cost to student decision making hence obtained a Based on Figure above can be seen that the result as partial test table/t-test to know the level of data in the above model spreads around the significance through alpha <0,05 value from each It is interpreted that the data re-ordered in school facility and tuition cost to student decision this study is usually distributed. making as can be seen in Table 3 below. The multicollinearity test is a test used to Multiple Regression Test Results determine whether or not there is a strong School Facilities And Education Costs correlation between the independent variables.

The result of multiple regression testing can only be applied with the assumption that there are Based on Table 2 it can be seen that the two variables of school facilities and education cost but variables above have VIF values Senior High in a fixed or unchanged condition The t count for school facilities . is Schooler than 10 and tolerance values above 0. than ttable . or the sig t value for It is interpreted that in this multiple regression . is Senior High Schooler models all variables are free from multicollinearity . Based on the results obtained Heteroskedasticity test is a test used to for school facilities and H0 determine whether or not an unequal variance from Thus school facilities have a residual one observation to another observation as on decision making. for heteroscedasticity test results can be seen in this This have a significant Picture effect on improving student decision making. This indicates that the students of Senior High School 5,932 4,260 -2,942 Sig. ,000 ,000 ,005 INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE OF ASEAN PERSPECTIVE AND POLICY Al-Ulum Terpadu want improvement of school Because the results of this study indicate that if the school facilities are improved then the students' decisions will be increased / stronger to continue the school in Senior High School AlUlum Terpadu. The value for education cost (-2,. Senior High Schooler than ttable (-2,. or sig t value for work environment . Senior High Schooler than alpha . Based on the results obtained then H1 accepted for education expenses and H0 rejected. Thus partially the cost of education has a negative and significant effect on student decision making. This means that the cost of education imposed by Senior High School AlUlum Terpadu significantly affect the decision of The existence of a negative and significant influence between the cost of education to student decision making gives an illustration that the cost of education existing in Senior High Coefficients Model (Constan.

The higher the cost of education is increased so students will decide not to continue their education in SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL AlUlum Terpadu Statistical Test Results between School Location Variables in Moderating Relationships between School Facility Variables and Tuition Costs on Student Decision MakingThe results of this study show that the SPSS output results that the moderating ABSS1 variable . bsolute school facility - the school location was not significant with a significance of 0. 119 above 0. moderating ABSS2 variable . bsolute cost of education - school locatio. was significant with a significance of 0. 047 is below 0. It is concluded that the variable of school location is not a variable capable of moderating the influence of school facilities on student decision making. Variety of school location location is a variable that is able to moderate the influence of education costs on student decision making In other words, high or low school location does not reinforce or weaken the impact of school facilities on decision making, on the other hand the cost of education where the location of the school can strengthen the influence of education costs on student decision making. This indicates that of the two variables tested in this study, ie between the cost of education to decision-making proves the location of the school can moderate the role of the variable cost of education to organizational commitment with the decision of the school location as quasi moderator. As for the school facilities variables on decision making, the location of the school only serves as a predictor or independent variable because at the first output of the school facility had a significant positive effect while in the second output after the school location was tested as moderation resulted in insignificant value between school facilities on decision making. research, it can be seen that the results of testing the hypothesis as the following CONCLUSIONS Based on the results of research and discussion that has been described in the previous chapter, it can be formulated the following conclusions: Partial school facilities have a positive and significant impact on students' decision making to continue their education in Senior High School Al-Ulum Terpadu. The cost of education partially has a negative and significant effect on the students' decision to continue their education in Senior High SchoolAl-Ulum Terpadu. School simultaneously have a significant effect on students' decision making to continue their education in Senior High School Al-Ulum Terpadu. School location is not a moderating variable influencing school facilities on students' decision making to continue their education in Senior High School Al-Ulum Terpadu. It can be seen from two moderating variable test that is MRA test and the absolute difference where the result of school location is not significant as moderating variable. School location is a moderating variable influencing the cost of education to the students' decision to go to school in Senior High School Al-Ulum Terpadu. This can be seen from the MRA test and the absolute difference test where the statistical test results indicate consistency that the school location is a variable that is able to moderate the influence of the cost of education to the students' decision to continue school in SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL Al-Ulum Terpadu.
