Description Why humans do the things that they do so specifically and what creates the drive for success, has been a subject of scientific investigation for decades. The consensus is that everyone is motivated to achieve, although for different reasons. These reasons are collectively called achievement motivation and directly influence everyday actions such as doing work, practising a sport or hobby, studying for an exam, attending college etc.
Psychologists believe that motivation is a necessary ingredient for learning (Biehler & Snowman, 1986). Satisfactory school learning is unlikely to take place in the absence of sufficient motivation to learn. Hence the present study was undertaken to learn the relationship between Achievement motivation and academic performance of secondary school students with special reference to family factors such as Socio Economic Status of Parents, education and occupation of parents etc.
It is the participation of parents in every facet of children‟s education and development from birth to adulthood will affect a marked impact in their children‟s achievement. Parental involvement has a sound research base attesting to the many potential benefits it can offer in education, it generally benefits children‟s and adolescents learning and academic success.
For years Parental Involvement has been touted as a very important predictor of student‟s achievement in schools. Recent surveys also show, teachers focus on the need to increase parental involvement, strengthening parents‟ role in learning of their children. It has been identified by teachers as an issue that should receive the highest public priority in education policy (Louis Harries, 1994). Moreover, a 1993 Metropolitan like survey of teachers found that large majority believed that the schools could be improved by federal government if it encourages parents to be more involved in their children‟s education (Richardson, 1993).
The CCE scheme of CBSE is a good curricular initiative, attempting to shift emphasis from merely testing to holistic learning. It aims at creating good citizens possessing sound health, appropriate skills and desirable qualities besides academic excellence. The goal is to equip the learners to meet the challenges of life with confidence and success. Therefore the investigator selected CBSE schools of Uttar Pradesh, as the population for the study.
The Sample for the investigation comprises 1101 students of 13 C B S E Schools of 6 districts of Uttar Pradesh, with in the age range of 14 to 17 (Mean=15.5).They belong to the group of Adolescence. iii
Adolescence describes the age between 13 and 19 years and can be considered the transitional stage from childhood to adulthood... The period of adolescence is mostly closely associated with the teenage years although its physical, psychological and cultural expression can begin even earlier or later. Psychological development during adolescence is often accompanied by new stresses, behavioral changes and relationship problems. Parental involvement in the lives of their adolescent children can help young people to learn how to cope with stresses and maintain physical and mental health.
Adolescent‟s achievement motivation has direct influence on their academic performance. Parental involvement has positive influence on students‟ achievements motivation which is so intuitively appealing that society in general and education in particular have considered parental involvement as important ingredient for the remedy of many problems in education of adolescents. This study has proved this aspect beyond any doubt.
Achievement Motivation test constructed by Dr. V P Bhargava (1984) was administered to the selected sample to assess their academic achievement motivation. Descriptive statistic tools were used to analyze collected data. For criterion measure of the students‟ academic performance the Final Examination Grades of class IX or X were considered.
Various comparisons were made to analyze significant effect of factors effecting students achievement motivation and academic performance by applying ANOVA and Karl Pearson‟s correlation co-efficient using SPSS.
The results revealed that there is positive co-relation between achievement motivation and academic performance of secondary school students. There is significant effect of parents‟ socio- economic status and educational qualifications on the achievement motivation of secondary school students which will ultimately result on better academic performance. However it has been observed that there is no significant difference between male and female students with respect to achievement motivation. Results also show that parents‟ caste and occupations have no significant effect on achievement motivation.
This study confirms the importance of Achievement Motivation and the positive impact of parent‟s educational qualifications and Economic status and concluded by making insightful suggestions and recommendations to stakeholders in Education in helping students to enhance their motivation and to improve on their performance.
