Family functioning and academic performance

Abstract

The family is the primary space for human socialization and learning; its proper functioning inevitably influences individual behavior toward others. Factors such as place of residence, emigration, unemployment, family dysfunction, the physical condition of the school, and the child's learning capacity impact students' academic performance. It is necessary to foster academic motivation among vulnerable population groups, provide students with access to new technologies as a learning enhancer, and encourage participatory family activities to improve academic performance. A literature review was conducted using the following criteria: family, family functioning, family and school, academic and academic performance, and family and learning.
