Tanggung jawab siswa berkaitan dengan pencapaian prestasi akademiknya. Prestasi ini juga didukung oleh guru, terutama melalui efektivitas mengajar guru selama di kelas. Pada penelitian ini akan diketahui hubungan antara tanggung jawab siswa dalam lingkup pendidikan dengan persepsi siswa terhadap efektivitas mengajar guru, khususnya mata ajar matematika, pada siswa kelas 2 SMA. Tanggung jawab dalam lingkup pendidikan dilihat melalui enam faktor yaitu hasil kerja yang bermutu, kesediaan menanggung resiko, pengikatan diri pada tugas, memiliki prinsip hidup, kemandirian, dan keterikatan sosial (Sukiat, 1993).

Hasil menunjukkan bahwa terdapat hubungan yang signifikan antara tanggung jawab siswa dengan persepsi efektivitas mengajar guru pada mata ajar matematika. Selain itu, diketahui juga beberapa karakteristik guru yang dianggap efektif oleh siswa.
