| Summary: | This study is a correlational study as it was aimed at investigating the relationship
between the perceived father and mother parenting styles (permissive, authoritarian,
authoritative) with student academic achievement (based on PMR results) at SMK
Methodist (ACS) Melaka. The sample used consisted of 47 form 4 students who were
all males. The data was collected using 4 sets of questionnaires: the Demographic
Information, Self-report Academic Achievement, Parental Authority Questionnaire
Pertaining to Father, and Parental Authority Questionnaire Pertaining to Mother. The
data was calculated using SPSS and Pearson-product Moment Correlation Coefficient
(Pearson r). The findings showed that the majority of the students perceived their
father and mother as authoritative. However, there was no relationship between father
parenting styles with student academic achievement. On the other hand, mother
parenting styles had been proven to be correlated with student academic achievement.
This shows that mother parenting styles have an effect towards the students’
achievement. The results from this study are hoped to help parents to choose the best
parenting style and get involve with their children’s development. It is recommended
that future research to choose larger samples which are drawn from various schools in
order to generalize the results. |
