Effect of Home Environment on Mathematics Achievement

Abstract

The study entitled related to the “Effect of Home Environment on Mathematics Achievements" is based on quantitative approach. The objective of this study were to find the effectof home environment on the mathematics achievement of students at grade seven and to find the correlation between home environment factors and mathematics achievements of students at grade seven. Two hundred ten students were selected from five governmentschools in Dangisharan Gaunpalika by using random sampling method. Mathematics achievement score and questionnaire forms were uses to collected data. The questionnaire form consisting eight statement which was distributed two hundred ten students and wererequested to describe with parents fill it. The collected data were analyzed by using statistical tools as mean, standard derivation, correlation, t-test, ANOVAtest and multiple linear regression. There is high correlation between mathematics achievement and mother education (0.684). Similarly, there is high correlation between mathematics achievements and home environmental factors; FI (0.489), FE (0.425), FS (0.105), HW (0.096) and WLP (0.019) respectively. There is negative correlation between mathematics achievement and student play mobile or watch TV (-0.520). In multiple linear regression, to find out the study shows that home environment factors effect on achievement of students. Mother's education affected 0.429, father's education affected 0.155, family size affected 0.087, family income affected 0.082 and household workload affected 0.042 on mathematics achievement of student. Student play mobile or watch TV, where to live parents and homework checking are negative affected features on their achievement. Since the home environment factors affect the mathematics achievement of student.
