Abstract


This study explores the differences in academic burnout levels between male and female eighthgrade students at SMPN 3 Batu. Utilizing a comparative design, the research involved 137 students,
including 39 males and 98 females, with data collected through the Indonesian version of the School
Burnout Inventory (SBI). Independent sample t-tests were employed for data analysis. The results
indicated no significant gender differences in academic burnout levels, as both male and female
students exhibited similar experiences of burnout as indicated by Sig. (2-tailed) value of 0.432. The
majority of students reported moderate levels of burnout, with 70.1% of the sample falling into this
category. Furthermore, 16.1% of the students experienced low burnout, while 13.9% reported high
burnout levels. The findings underscore the prevalence of academic burnout among junior high
school students, emphasizing the need for interventions that cater to the needs of all students
regardless of gender. This research contributes to the body of knowledge on academic burnout by
focusing on younger adolescents, a demographic often overlooked in burnout studies. The study
highlights the importance of early identification and intervention to prevent and manage academic
burnout, ultimately supporting students' mental health and academic success.
