- Abstract
This study investigates the impact of parental involvement on students' academic and sporting achievements in Padang, West Sumatra Province, Indonesia. Using a sample of 112 junior high school students, we examined how different forms of parental involvement correlate with students' participation in competitive sports and academic performance. The research employed a quantitative approach, utilizing surveys and statistical analysis including ANOVA. Results indicate that students with parents involved in both academic and sporting activities show significantly higher rates of participation in competitive sports (64.4%) compared to those with uninvolved parents (48.4%). Moreover, students whose parents were involved in their studies reported higher academic achievements and were more likely to receive academic awards. The study also explored the concept of strength-based parenting (SBP) and its potential benefits. Our findings underscore the importance of comprehensive parental involvement in fostering children's success in both academic and athletic domains, providing valuable insights for educators and policymakers in Indonesia and beyond.
