A Predictive Model of Geography Learning Achievement Reviewed from Parental Attention and Physical Learning Environment
Keywords:
Educational Achievement, Geography Learning, Parental Attention, Predictive Model, Physical Learning Environment
Abstract
Purpose of the study: The study aims to examine the predictive effect of parental attention and physical learning environment on geography learning achievement among high school students, estimating the relative contribution of each factor and their combined influence on academic outcomes.
Methodology: A quantitative approach with correlational design was employed, using structured questionnaires and Likert-scale measurements to assess parental attention and physical environment. Student semester examination scores were collected as indicators of learning achievement. Data analysis involved Pearson Product-Moment correlation and multiple linear regression, using SPSS software for statistical estimation and hypothesis testing.
Main Findings: Parental attention and physical learning environment jointly explained 33% of variance in geography learning achievement. Parental attention contributed 18.42%, while physical learning environment accounted for 14.58%, with both predictors showing linear relationships and no multicollinearity. Beta coefficients indicated substantial influence, with parental guidance slightly dominant in enhancing student performance.
Novelty/Originality of this study: The study integrates parental involvement and physical learning environment into a unified predictive model, addressing gaps in prior research that examined these factors independently. The findings provide robust, evidence-based insights for optimizing both home and school support, offering practical, actionable strategies for enhancing geography learning achievement and informing more effective targeted educational interventions.
