Abstract

This study aims to determine the relationship between executive functions with academic performance of junior high school students. The executive function variable consists of three components, namely cognitive flexibility, inhibitory control and working memory. The hypothesis of this study are (1) There is a relationship between executive function and academic performance in junior high school students (2) There is a positive relationship between cognitive flexibility and academic performance in junior high school students. (3) There is a positive relationship between Inhibitory control and academic performance in junior high school students (4) There is a positive relationship between working memory (with span backward digit scores) and academic performance in junior high school students (5) There is a positive relationship between working memory (with digit span sequencing scores) with academic performance in junior high school students. Participants in this study were 41 students who were available Junior High School. Data is collected by measuring aspects of executive functions; Trail Making Test (TMT A & B) using paper and pencil method, online Stroop test at Psytoolkit.org, with Backward and Sequencing Digit Span by using paper and pencil. Academic performance using midterm exam mathematics scores. The results of data analysis show that the first hypothesis was accepted. The executive function can predict academic performance significantly (R = 0.640; p <0.001). Correlation analysis shows that cognitive flexibility has no correlation with academic performance, while Inhibitory control is correlated (rxy = -0.575; p = 0,000) and working memory has a correlation (rxy = -0.506; p = 0.001) with academic performance. Keywords: Executive Function, academic performance, adolescents gifted
