The Role of Family Involvement in Enhancing Students’ Academic Achievement and Psychological Well-Being

Abstract

This study aims to examine the role of family involvement in improving students’ academic achievement and psychological well-being through a literature review approach. The study analyzed seven scientific articles and several supporting literature sources discussing family involvement, emotional support, academic achievement, and students’ psychological well-being. Data were collected through documentation techniques and analyzed using descriptive content analysis. The findings indicate that family involvement has a positive relationship with improved academic achievement, learning motivation, discipline, and students’ social adaptation skills. Emotional support from families also contributes to reducing academic stress, enhancing self-confidence, and maintaining students’ mental health. In addition, positive communication between families and schools creates a more conducive and supportive learning environment for students’ development. However, the effectiveness of family involvement is influenced by socioeconomic factors, culture, parenting patterns, and the quality of partnerships between schools and parents. Therefore, continuous collaboration among families, schools, and communities is needed to create an inclusive educational environment that supports students’ academic development and psychological well-being optimally.
