Introduction
Every student is different from one another and so he must react to his school
environment in his unique way. Since high school students are greatly influenced by heredity and
environment, the students’ family background must play a crucial role to his academic
motivation.
Academic motivation is an important factor that students need in order to boost their
reflected in approach, persistence, and level of interest) regarding academic subjects when the
al., 1953).
Academic motivation often declines as students progress from elementary through high
school. Upwards of 40% of high school students are disengaged from learning, are inattentive,
exert little effort on school work, and report being bored in school, according to a 2004 analysis
by the National Research Council. The lack of motivation has serious consequences. For
example, in a 2006 survey exploring why students dropped out of school, 70% of high school
dropouts said they were unmotivated (Bridgeland, DiIulio & Morison, 2006).
As aforementioned, one factor that affects the academic motivation of the students is the
family. The family is the foundation of every student’s learning process. The students were
provided with materials for school and emotional support by their families. However, as time

brought drastic changes to our society today, the students’ views on the role of their own families
Since Filipinos value their family, their sense of obligation might cause them to perform
well in school (Fuligni, Tseng, & Lam, 1999). Bernardo's (2008) study found that for Filipinos,
the motivation for achievement is social in nature. Parents have a great influence on students'
motivation. He explained that both mastery goal and performance goal are guided by a set of
personal performance standards, which are determined by parents. In addition to this, several
researches indicate that parental involvement is an effective strategy to ensure student success
(Barnard, 2004; Desimone, 1999; Hill & Craft, 2003; Hill & Taylor, 2004; Zellman &
Waterman, 1998). Parental involvement has many positive effects on students other than
academics, including increased motivation, self-esteem, and self-reliance, which may lead to
academic success regardless of economic background (Bower & Griffin, 2011). These suggest
factors.
However, due to certain circumstances and the dramatical change regarding the family
structure of most Filipinos, this is not obviously the case for other students.
The number of marriage annulment cases in the Philippines has risen by 40 percent in the
last decade with at least 22 cases filed every day, according to a report by the Catholic bishops’
news agency (Tubeza, 2011). This could imply that with the saddening increase of these cases,
some students are becoming prone to physical and emotional instability causing them to lack
academic motivation.
McIntosh (2008) in his study concluded that children having divorced or separated
parents, would actually perform better than average scores if they came from homes that had
2
positive attitudes and that strongly supported their children. This was supported by another study
carried out by Ryan (2000) who reported that there was a significant effect of family background
There are also some circumstances in which students tend to be under too much academic
pressure because of their family. According to Lin & Chen (1995), double pressure from family
and schools has turned many children’s life into one of depression, nervous breakdown, and
dissatisfaction. This, in turn, may lead into low scholastic motivation and poor academic
performance.
In accordance with these circumstances, the researchers are aiming to identify how the
high school students of Sto. Niño Academy are affected by their families in terms of their
academic motivation. The researchers also intend to determine how the family structure or
This study aims to identify the different roles of the family that affect the academic
motivation of High School Students. It also explains the different family types (e.g. Broken
Family, Deceased Parent, and the like) and how it affect the academic achievements and
performance of the High School Students. The research was conducted during the second
semester of the school year 2018-2019. As such, it aims to aid the teachers and the parents or
guardians of the students in determining what may help the student in motivating and supporting
them for the betterment of their studies. Students may also find the research to be useful in

The general intent of this study is to discern the role of the family to the high school
student’s academic motivation. This study will mainly identify and assess how the family affects
the students’ scholastic achievements and performance. Moreover, this study will focus on
family background and family involvement and its implications to the students’ academic
motivation.
Out of the high school students in Sto. Niño Academy, a prominent school in Bulacan, 60
high school students were randomly used as a sample. 12 high school students per level were
selected through simple stratified sampling. Each of the participants was given same
questionnaires to answer. This study focuses on the current high school students of the present

Dornyei argued that motivation explains why people decide to do something, how hard
they are going to pursue it, and how long they are willing to sustain the activity. In other words,
motivation is what gets you going, keeps you going, and determines where you’re trying to go.
Since students are at the core of learning process, a study tailored to their motivations and
strategies and factors hindering their learning are imperative as students themselves play pivotal
roles in shifting their own learning and acquiring enhanced academic achievement. Gasco et al.
(2017) noted that motivation plays an important role in learning because it greatly explains
academic performance.

The Family and Its Different Types
The family is one of the major factors affecting the academic motivation of high school
students. Census definitions of family have varied from country to country and also from census
to census within country. The word household has often been used as a replacement for family.
The Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines family as “a group of individuals living under one roof
and usually under one head” and “a group of persons of common ancestry.”
According to Eric Amadi, the family can be classified into many. First is the nuclear
family. It is the basic form of family organization. It is made up of the father (husband), mother
(wife) and children. According to Michelle (2012) it is the traditional type of family and was
held in esteem by society as being the ideal in which to raise children. Second is single parent
family, consisting of one parent with one or more kids. In these cases, the parent never married,
is widowed, or divorced. According to Michele (2012) and Ketteringham (2007), the single
parent family is the biggest change society has seen in terms of changes in family structure.
Third is extended family comprising of the father (husband), his wife (mother), their children,
the husbands and the wife’s relations etc. Fourth is stepfamily. A stepfamily is when two
separate families merge into one. This can go several different ways, like two divorced parents
with one or more children blending families, or one divorced parent with kids marrying someone
who has never been married and has no kids. The last is a grandparent family. A grandparent
family is when one or more grandparent is raising their grandchild or grandchildren. This usually
happens when the parents aren't around to take care of their kids or are incapable of properly

Previous Studies on the Impact of the Family Structure to the Students’ Academic
Motivation
A study conducted by Peter Barasa Nato (2016) revealed that 87.1% of respondents
attributed good performance of learner with nuclear family background which offered economic
support, family support, parental motivation and home study environment. Nuclear family
16.7% variance in student performance. Single parent family background attributed good
performance of learners with small percentage as shown by 30%. However majority of the
respondents (70%) indicated lack of economic family support negatively affected student
addition, the National Survey of Children’s Health shows that children who live with both
biological parents or with two adoptive parents are less likely to have their school report
behavior problems to their parents than are children who live in households that do not include
both parents. This indicates that students from a family with two parents are likely to be more
academically motivated than those who are from single parent families.
In addition to these, the size of the family also has its effects to the students’ academic
motivation. Suleman (2012) suggests that some students who belong to extended families tend to
have lower levels of achievement and lower levels of secondary graduation, on average than
children who belong to smaller families. However, extended families whose family members are
10
An article written by Victoria Allen (2018) reveals that children of divorced couples who
live with a step-parent are at increased risk of mental health problems. This could imply that
students from stepfamily are in greater risk of having low academic motivation leading to poor
Finally, several studies also suggest that grandparent families had various implications on
students’ scholastic achievements. The level of education the grandparents have, or their degree
of literacy, may directly impact their grandchildren. If the grandparents are educated, they may
be able to assist their grandchildren with projects and homework. On the other hand, if they are
illiterate or never completed schooling, both the grandparent and grandchild may end up
frustrated because no assistance with homework can or will be given. Some grandchildren may
be embarrassed by their grandparents’ lack of education and may not inform them of teacher-
parent consultations. Some grandparents might not realize the importance of education because
they have not received any formal education themselves (Mansfield, 2009)
Related Studies on How Close Family Ties Affect Students’ Academic Motivation
Encouragement and support from family was essential for one student to do well at
school. As families are said to be the first educators of children (ACSSO), and they continue to
influence their children’s learning and development during the school years and long afterwards.
Schools have an important responsibility in helping to nurture and teach future generations and
families trust schools to provide educational foundations for their children’s future. At the same
time, schools need to recognize the primary role of the family in education. This is why it is
important for families and schools to work together in partnership. Research demonstrates that
effective schools have high levels of parental and community involvement. This involvement is
11
strongly related to improved student learning, attendance and behavior. Family involvement can
have a major impact on student learning, regardless of the social or cultural background of the
family.
The openness among the members of a family can help a student to have the opportunity
to succeed and be happy. A study conducted by Chelliah Arulmoly (2015) states that a
conductive home influences manifests itself further in the school environment. It helps plan,
execute and evaluate the child’s school experiences, in relation to his level of maturation and
readiness for future career, making one’s child to have a feeling of belongingness helping them
to be motivated in life.
North Florida, family members can be instrumental in developing the children’s sense of efficacy
for succeeding in school. They can reinforce children’s academic work by showing interest in it
and praising success. Family members assist children by encouraging them to work at their
highest level.
Academic pressure from family members is one of the reasons why students are striving
hard to excel in school. While high expectations can be healthy, placing constant pressure on
children can be harmful. When kids feel like each homework assignment is going to make or
break their future, that pressure will have negative consequences. (Morin, 2019)
One of the negative consequences of that pressure is academic stress. Academic stress

individual which he/she adapts. (Wilks, 2008). This stress must not be overlooked as it
negatively affects the general adjustment of the students. (Kumar, & Husain, 2008).
An article from ModernMom (2017) suggests that by having the family lay pressure to
succeed, a child can feel less inspired and more threatened. They’ll be so paralyzed by fear of not
doing well, that they won’t actually learn and succeed like they otherwise would. Plus, if they
have feelings of anxiety, they are less likely to know what the culprit is. It is possible that they
will place further blame for their bad feelings on themselves for not being smart enough,
According to Zarina Akhtar (2011), the authoritarian parents seek to control their
children through rules they use reward and punishment to make their children follow the rules.
They gave orders and are not likely to explain them. The uninvolved parents have few demands,
low responsiveness and little communication with their children. Although they fulfill child’s
basic needs, but they are generally detached from their children’s life. The children’s of these
parents have low self-esteem, less confidence, lack of self-control and less competent. The parent
pressure is directly linked with the parenting style. The parent pressure can be felt from any of
the parenting style. Some parenting style cause low parent pressure or no pressure like
uninvolved parenting style, and some create high pressure like authoritative and authoritarian
parenting style. The authoritative and authoritarian both parenting style parents involve in the
activities of the children, both cause parent pressure the authoritative parent’s child want to
fulfill their expectations keep them happy and satisfied and the authoritarian parent’s child feel
forced to fulfill parents expectations to avoid punishment. The parenting style effects the
academic achievement of their children and they perform accordingly. High parent pressure may
result high achievement and low parent pressure may be the reason of low achievement.

Additionally, Jaime Budzienski (2015) suggests that many kids collapse under too much
parental pressure. Stress and anxiety can manifest physically, too. Kids feeling overwhelmed
about school performance may have stomachaches, diarrhea, headaches and rashes. Students
may experience nightmares or refuse to go to school. Due to this, there is a huge possibility that
students who are experiencing academic stress caused by pressure are likely to be unmotivated
academically.
Likewise, according to McCoy et al. (2014), the addition of monitoring pressure resulted
In contrast to this, Lisa Witzberger argues that a certain level of stress can be helpful and
at times stress acts as a motivator to accomplish goals. Stress can lead to motivation, causing
students to complete a difficult task or event that they must deal with.
Additionally, according to Rahman & Monziri (2012), some children need parental
pressure to study. Studies have shown that when parents have high expectations of their
children’s academic capability, they tend to study hard to fulfil those expectations.
There are also circumstances wherein the family does not lay academic pressure on
Children may perform better in school and feel more confident about themselves if they
are told that failure is a normal part of learning, rather than being pressured to succeed at all
costs, according to new research published by the American Psychological Association (2012).

Related Studies on How Family Involvement Affects a Students’ Academic Motivation
"With several decades of research confirming that students perform better in school when
their families are engaged in their learning, the field of family and community engagement is
poised to engage in a new conversation about how school, family, and community partnerships
fit into the educational landscape. At the heart of this issue is whether or not schools’ and
teachers’ practices can engage family and community members in students’ learning, and
Iruka, Barbarin and Aikens (2008) noted that parents and families are considered the
most essential others who children encounter in the earliest stage of their lives. Because of this,
family engagement surely has a huge impact to students’ academic motivation. Chowa, Masa
and Tucker (2013) found that parental involvement (i.e., home involvement, school involvement,

Likewise, Conway and Houtenville's (2008) study stated that family involvement is
This was concurred by Matt Weyer’s (2018) study which suggested that children whose parents
and families are engaged in and hold high expectations of their education tend to earn better
grades, have higher graduations rates, and are more likely to enroll in postsecondary education.
On the other hand, the absence of parental involvement also has consequences.
According to Bryk, the absence of vital ties [between schools, families and the community] is a
problem; their presence is a multifaceted resource for improvement. The quality of these ties
links directly to students’ motivation and school participation and can provide a critical resource
for classrooms.

Research Methodology
Method of Research
For this study, the researchers used qualitative research design. This design has an objective
interpretive framework for generating possible solutions or new understandings of the problem.
This is used by the researchers in order to fully analyze the data gathered from the selected
A common distinguishing feature of qualitative research is that studies often aim to explore
and understand, rather than measure phenomena and behaviors (Green & Thorogood, 2004).
Qualitative research stresses the socially constructed nature of reality, the intimate relationship
between the researcher and what is studied, and the situational constraints that shape inquiry.
Such researches emphasize the value-laden nature of inquiry. They seek answers to questions
that stress how social experience is created and given meaning. (Thousand Oaks, CA: Sage,
2005).
The type of qualitative research used in this study is a case study. It is a process of research

school teaches its students social and moral responsibility, in order to bring not only themselves
Research Participants
Two sets of survey questionnaires were distributed by the researchers. The participants of
the study were selected first through stratified random sampling wherein students are categorized
by their family type. The first set contains questions which will be disseminated to the entire
high school population to determine the family structure of each learner and categorize them
according to the type of family they have. After that, 10 students are randomly chosen from each
stratum to answer the second set of survey questionnaires with basis from the first one. The main
goal of this research is to know the role of the family to the high school students’ academic
motivation and performance. The researchers expect the selected students to give appropriate
responses to the questionnaire given to them in order for the researchers to study and analyze the

Research Instruments
The research instrument used in this study was a survey questionnaire. The survey
questionnaire is a type of data gathering method that is utilized to collect, analyze and interpret
the different views of a group of people from a particular population. Survey questionnaires had
been used in the different fields such as research, marketing, politics views, psychology, and so
on.
To gather information from the participants, the researchers formulated two sets of
survey questionnaires. The first set consists of two objective questions. It aims to determine the
family structure of each high school student. It also intends to categorize the students according
to their family type. This set will be answered by checking the box of the family type the student
belongs to. The second set consists of 8 questions that will lead to the data that are needed in this

Data Analysis
The study utilized first hand data which comes from the chosen participants who
answered the survey-questionnaires given to them. First hand data are those that come from the
participants who have been surveyed prior to the research. In the first set of the questionnaire the
researcher will categorize the participantss according to the family type they belong to by using
the data gathered. The researcher will now then proceed to the second set of the questionnaire,
and will organize all the data by using a deductive approach. By using this approach the
researcher will organize all the data based on the research questions and objectives. After
organizing, the researcher will analyze all the answers that were given by the participants and
sort them according to the pattern of answers that will be shown likely by the data. The
researcher will make a conclusion based on the answers that were analyzed.

Based on the data gathered, the findings obtained represents that the most common
family type among the 714 high school students of Sto. Niño Academy of Bocaue, Bulacan is
nuclear family with 58.12% or 415 of the students claiming they belong to it.

Minor Themes:
163 out of 714 participants (22.83%) from the whole high school population have
responded that they belong to the extended type of family. Next is single parent family with
7.14% or 51 students of the high school population. This is trailed closely by the separated
family with 6.86% or 49 of the students. Step family follows with 2.80% or 20 high school

Minor Theme:
According to the table, 27 participants (45%) fall under the category of “average” wherein
their average grade is between of 85 to 89. It is followed by “above average”, with 43.33% or 26
of the students claiming they belong to it. In addition, 4 out of 60 participants (6.67%) responded
that they fit in the category of “fair” with an average grade of 75 to 84. 3.33% or 2 students
answered “outstanding” whilst 1.67% or 2 students responded that they have “poor” academic
The categories “Outstanding” and “Above Average” are mostly dominated by students
who were brought up in a complete family setting. 9 out of 10 participants (90%) under the
nuclear family said that they have grades equal to or higher than 90 while 7 out of 10 or 70% are
from extended families. This supports the claim of Peter Barasa Nato (2016) stating “Nuclear
accounted 16.7% variance in student performance,” and Suleman (2012) stating, “…extended
families whose family members are well-educated may also result to students with good
academic performance.”
On the other hand, categories “Average”, “Poor” and “Fair” consists mostly of students
under the family types of: Separated, Step, Single Parents, and Grandparent. This is supported by
the National Survey of Children’s Health’s claim that students from a family with two parents
are likely to be more academically motivated than those who are from single parent families.

Minor Theme:
22 out of 60 participants (33.67%) answered that they do not receive emotional support

toward excelling at school or support when the child is having difficulties. According to a
Michigan Department of Education article titled, "What Research Says About Parent
Involvement in Children's Education," the more parents get involved "in advocacy, decision-
making and oversight roles, as fund- raisers and boosters, as volunteers and para-professionals,

Some participants (40%) answered that they feel worried and stressed because of too

13 out of the 40 participants (32.5%) who answered no said that they feel motivated when
they don’t feel pressure from their family. Children may perform better in school and feel more
confident about themselves if they are told that failure is a normal part of learning, rather than
being pressured to succeed at all costs, according to new research published by the American
Psychological Association (2012). A participant has said, “No, they don’t pressure me to achieve
high grades that’s why I’m somehow motivated because I know that they are here to support me
7.2.2 No Effects
6 out of the 40 participants (15%) said that it doesn’t affect their academic motivation.
According to Zarina Akhtar (2011)... The uninvolved parents have few demands, low

needs, but they are generally detached from their children’s life. The children’s of these parents
have low self-esteem, less confidence, lack of self-control and less competent. A participant has
said, “No, it doesn’t affect my attitude towards academics because they accept the grade that I

Out of the 49 participants who answered that their family positively affects their
academic motivation, 9 are from the nuclear family and 8 each from extended, separated, single
parent, step, and grandparent families. This suggests that regardless of family type, students can
have high levels of academic motivation and what is more important is the involvement of
family members. This can be supported by a study conducted by Chelliah Arulmoly (2015)
stating that a conductive home influences manifests itself further in the school environment. It
helps plan, execute and evaluate the child’s school experiences, in relation to his level of

Summary of Findings
This study seeks to identify the role of the family to the high school students’ academic
motivation. It aims to know how the family type of the students affects the students’ academic
The data collected by the researchers shows that the family indeed plays a crucial role to
the students’ academic motivation. Findings revealed that a complete family setting is associated
with higher levels of scholastic achievements on students and incomplete family setting is related
to low levels of academic performance. Statistics also revealed that all 60 participants receive
financial support for their school needs from their family. On the other hand, only 63.33% of the
participants had said that they get emotional support from their families. Moreover, only 61.67%
of the participants share their experiences with school to their family. It was also revealed that
majority (66.67%) of the participants are not academically pressured and only 33.33% are
This research also found out that the family positively, negatively, and sometimes, both

motivation as it serves as an inspiration to students and it helps the students in terms of support

Conclusion
Overall, the researchers can say that the study conducted is successful as it was able to
discern how the family types of the students affect their academic performances. Moreover, this
study has effectively determined how the family background of the students affect their
scholastic motivation. With the data gathered, it can be concluded that a complete family setting
is associated with higher levels of scholastic achievements on students and incomplete family
setting is related to low levels of academic performance. Also, it can be determined that the
family can affect a high school students’ academic motivation in three ways. First is positively
whereas a student can feel more motivated due to the fact that his family serves as
encouragement and inspiration. Second is negatively because a student can be under too much
academic pressure due to his family. Last is both positively and negatively whereas a family can
Recommendations
In the light of the foregoing conclusions, the following recommendations are hereby
forwarded.
First, we the researchers suggest to do not accuse any student of being lazy. Realize that
many students go through the learned helplessness phase and need support. Provide that support
for the student as a parent by staying in contact with the school and the child’s teachers. Do not
wait until grades come out to sit down and connect. Talk on a daily basis and be more helpful
50
Second, family should collaborate and associate with school’s staffs and administrators to
motivate the students. School administrators may discuss school-wide programs and policies,
and post-high school options that parents and guardians of juniors and seniors need to know
about. Attending parent-teacher conferences is a way to stay informed, although in high school,
staff usually set these up only when parental involvement is needed to address issues like
Third, family should put the students into driver’s seat and accept what are their limits.
Give the students a little pressure so that their drive in studying will be there and give feedbacks.
Feedback is one of the most important aspects of education, as it prompts student’s awareness of
their own learning and teaches critical thinking skill. However, it only works when done well.
Praising effort, for example, encourages the idea that we learn from hard work, whereas praising
intelligence can make students feel like they are competing uncomfortably against others.
Striking a balance between positive and negative feedback as specific as possible is also more
useful in helping students advance toward a goal than a generic ‘well done’.
Fourth, manage time wisely. Do not take for granted the time allotted for your research-
making. As much as possible, allot more time for Chapters 4 and 5 for these require a lot of
Lastly, for the future researchers who will support this topic, they should be realistic and
relevant in making the research paper. They should not include the things that are not related to
the topic. They should be careful in using words and they should check the grammar. The
51
researchers should have enough time in doing research and gathering data to have a relevant
