Unraveling the Crucial Reasons for Primary School Absenteeism: Parental Insights
International Online Journal of Primary Education, v13 n4 251-264 2024
The purpose of this study is to examine the variables that influence student absenteeism, with an emphasis on participation from parents. A survey of 475 parents was undertaken to investigate three major variables: personal, parental, and school-related factors. Personal variables refer to individual student behaviors, parental variables indicate parental involvement, and school-related variables to institutional factors influencing the reduction of student absenteeism. To confirm the results' validity, the methodology involves regression analysis, correlation matrix, factor analysis, and reliability analysis. The findings indicate that the model explains a considerable percentage of absence variations, with each predictor having a significant relationship with absenteeism. Personal variables are adversely associated with absenteeism, but parental and school factors have a favourable impact on their attendance. These results emphasise the significance of focused interventions that address personal behaviors, increase parental participation, and develop school support structures to minimize absenteeism and improve student performance.
