Abstract

ABSTRACT

This study aims to analyze the extent to which parental motivation contributes to improving students’ academic achievement at a Junior High School under the Evangelical Church Education and Schooling Foundation of Papua Sentani. Several students continue to display low academic performance despite the school’s learning programs running effectively, suggesting that external factors such as parental motivation and involvement may influence students’ learning success. This research employs a quantitative approach with a correlational design, involving 48 eighth-grade students as the sample. Data were collected using a questionnaire that had undergone validity and reliability testing, and were analyzed using the Pearson correlation technique. The results indicate a positive and strong relationship between parental motivation and students’ academic achievement, with a correlation coefficient of r = 0.70. These findings show that higher levels of parental support and encouragement correspond with better academic outcomes. Overall, the study highlights the essential role of active parental involvement in providing guidance, supervision, and appreciation for students' learning processes, particularly within the context of a faith-based school in Papua. The findings also serve as a foundation for the school to strengthen partnerships with parents through more structured home-based learning support programs.

ABSTRAK

Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis sejauh mana motivasi orang tua berkontribusi terhadap peningkatan prestasi belajar siswa pada Sekolah Menengah Pertama di bawah naungan Yayasan Pendidikan dan Persekolahan Gereja Injili Papua Sentani. Beberapa siswa masih menunjukkan capaian akademik yang rendah meskipun program pembelajaran telah berjalan optimal, sehingga muncul dugaan bahwa faktor eksternal seperti motivasi dan keterlibatan orang tua memiliki pengaruh terhadap keberhasilan belajar anak. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif dengan desain korelasional, melibatkan 48 siswa kelas VIII sebagai sampel. Data dikumpulkan melalui kuesioner yang telah diuji validitas dan reliabilitasnya, kemudian dianalisis menggunakan korelasi Pearson. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan adanya hubungan positif dan kuat antara motivasi orang tua dan prestasi belajar siswa dengan koefisien r = 0,70. Temuan ini menunjukkan bahwa semakin tinggi dukungan dan dorongan yang diberikan orang tua, semakin baik pencapaian akademik siswa. Secara keseluruhan, penelitian menegaskan pentingnya peran aktif orang tua dalam memberikan bimbingan, pengawasan, dan apresiasi terhadap proses belajar, terutama pada konteks sekolah berbasis keagamaan di Papua. Hasil ini juga menjadi dasar bagi sekolah untuk memperkuat kemitraan dengan orang tua melalui program pendampingan belajar yang lebih terstruktur di rumah.
