Education is a learning process aimed at developing individual potential in cognitive, affective, and psychomotor aspects, enabling them to contribute optimally to society. In formal education, such as in schools, various disciplines are taught, including mathematics, which helps students think logically, analytically, and solve problems. Mathematics education is expected to help students understand concepts that can be applied in various fields of science and real-life situations. Students should understand mathematical concepts, recognize relationships between concepts, derive formulas and properties, perform mathematical operations for generalization, gather evidence or explain ideas and mathematical statements, solve problems, use mathematics to communicate ideas, explain situations or problems, and appreciate the importance of mathematics in their lives. Conceptual understanding represents the lowest level of the cognitive domain and is a crucial learning objective as it provides the understanding that the lessons taught are not merely about mathematics. The conceptual understanding of mathematics among the 24 students in class XI at SMK RPI Jakarta resulted in an average score of 76.9. This indicates that the majority of students have a good understanding of the concepts, although some still require improvement..

Discipline is one of the parts included in the implementation of the Indonesian student profile. To create a golden and superior Indonesia, of course the nation's children as the next generation must be equipped as well as possible, including in terms of education. Student discipline has experienced a decline, both discipline at home, discipline at school, and especially discipline in the community. Many school children often go to school late, are often reckless on the street, often wander around at night, rarely pray, and have other bad behavior. This shows that student ethics and discipline have experienced a significant decline, which if left unchecked will definitely hinder the realization of a golden and superior Indonesia. That is why as an educator, a PAK teacher must be able to guide the nation's future young generation to live ethically and disciplined lives. With the ethics and professionalism possessed by PAK teachers, it is hoped that more and more students will live disciplined and civilized lives.
