Abstract

This study evaluated students' reasons for choosing extracurricular activities at their school using the Analytic Hierarchy Process method. The study assessed eight extracurricular activities: Scouts, Choir, Futsal, Badminton, Calligraphy, Nasyid, Marching Band, and PMR. Data was collected based on factors such as hobbies or preferences, encouragement from teachers, influence from parents, influence from friends, facilities available, and quality of trainers. The results of the analysis show that the hobby or favorite factor has the highest evaluation weight in the selection of extracurricular activities, followed by the influence of friends and available facilities. Calligraphy extracurricular has the highest evaluation weight, indicating that students are more likely to choose this activity because of the factors assessed. In addition, the results show high consistency in students' prioritization of their extracurricular choices, with a CI (Consistency Index) value of 0.048209 and CR (Consistency Ratio) of 0.036522, indicating that these evaluations are consistent. This research provides important insights for schools in developing and improving their extracurricular programs to better suit students' interests and needs.
