Abstract

This study aims to obtain a description of the contribution of discipline and environmental knowledge to the clean behavior of students in public elementary school of 19 Kampung Baru, Pariaman. A quantitative approach was used in this research. The sample of this research were the students in grade I-VI at public elementary school and taken by a simple random sampling of 81 students. The data were collected by asked to fill in the questionnaires. Results showed that: (1) There was a contribution of discipline (X 1 ) to students’ clean behavior (Y) equal to 27.70%, (2) There was a contribution of environmental knowledge (X 2 ) to students’ clean behavior (Y) equal to 53.00% And (3) There was a contribution of discipline (X 1 ) and environmental knowledge (X 2 ) to the students’ clean behavior (Y) of 54.20%. The results suggest that the discipline (X 1 ) and environmental knowledge (X 2 ), either individually or jointly contributes to students’ clean behavior (Y). This provides some explanation as to why principals and teachers in school should monitor the students’ discipline and environmental knowledge. This knowledge can support the clean behavior of the surrounding environment. On the other hand, it is also advisable for students to always improve their own discipline and environmental knowledge.
