Relationship between Family Environment and Academic Achievement
Abstract
Today’s modern society expects everyone to be a higher achiever. The key criterion to judge one’s true potentialities and capabilities is perhaps academic achievement. Academic achievement has become an index of child’s future. Therefore it is putting a great pressure on the mind of children and their parents. Home environment has a great influence on the overall development of a child. Family is the first to affect a child. It has an immense influence on an individual. The present study deals with the relationship of family environment and academic achievement of students at secondary level. For this purpose 160 students were randomly selected from Govt. and Non-Govt. schools. To study family environment, Harpreet Bhatia and N.K.Chaddha’s family environment scale has been used. The findings of the study reveal that there is a positive correlation between the family environment and academic achievement. As the cohesion increases the academic achievement of the students also increases.
