The Effect of Parental Attention on Learning Outcomes in Elementary School Students

Abstract

This study aims to determine the positive and significant influence and the magnitude of the effective contribution of parental attention on mathematics learning outcomes in elementary school students. This quantitative research employed the correlation method. The research samples were 260 public elementary school students in the Central Java, taken by cluster random sampling. Research data were collected by distributing questionnaires and test instruments. The data were then analyzed utilizing the SPSS version 25 application. From the regression analysis performed, the t-count value was 8.909 ≥ t-table of 1.969, and the Sig. was 0.000 ≤ 0.05. It indicates that parental attention had a positive and significant effect on students' mathematics learning outcomes. In addition, the correlation analysis results obtained r-count = 0.485 > r-table (df = 260) = 0.121, with an effective contribution value of 23.5%. Thus, it is concluded that there was a significant influence and effective contribution of parental attention on the learning outcomes of public elementary school students in the Gebang Sub-district, Purworejo Regency.
