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.
