“…In addition, it is also known that the results show that instrumental and value actions influence parents' decisions to invest in education. This is following the results of the study, which states that in thinking about an educational concept, it is necessary to think about how the concept of education can have a purpose to be used as a tool in transferring social values, knowledge, and cultural heritage to future generations (Zuccoli & Korstanje, 2023). This means that in the context of this research, the decisions that parents make in investing, especially in the field of education, should be based on rationality that not only thinks about how children get future welfare through education but parents also need to think about how education can support the development of children's potential through the development of their personality.…”

This research aims to determine the role and influence of two types of action rationalization, namely instrumental action rationalization and value action rationalization, on decisions made by parents in determining their children's future through educational investment and which is the most dominant. Descriptive and comparative methods will be used in answering the research problems, so the analytical tool in this research is an instrument using a 7-point Likert scale collected through an online survey tool in the form of Jotform. The sample to be used is parents who have school-age children at the XII grade high school education level. To get good analytical results, validity and reliability tests were carried out first through a pilot test, then continued with regression tests using actual data. The results showed that instrumental action rationalization can influence parents' decision to invest in education more than value action rationalization. The implication of this research is a better understanding from parents that there is a need to rationalize their actions in investing in education. This research is also expected to be further examined in other studies to get results and similarities in the perception that these two types of social action rationalization are interrelated.
