The method used is quantitative, with explanatory research to determine the relationship between variables. The population of this study is all economics teachers at the secondary education level (SMA / MA / SMK / MAK Public and Private) in Malang Raya (Malang City, Batu City, and Malang Regency), which amounts to 970 people. The sampling technique was a proportional random sampling of 187 people. The data collection techniques used in this study used the questionnaire method. Data analysis with structural equation modeling and software used Linear Structural Relations (LISREL) for windows ver. 8.6. Of the 15 (fifteen) hypotheses in this study, 3 (three) hypotheses are not significantly proven to be true. Theoretically, the hypotheses are correct, but in testing did not prove true. It happens because the hypothesis is proven to be true. This research specifically applies only to the target of economics teachers at the secondary education level, whose characteristics differ from other targets, for example, ordinary people or other professional groups that lack adequate knowledge of economics.
