Rationale

According to Big Indonesian Dictionary (1991), Education is defined as a learning

process for the individual to attain knowledge and understanding of higher specific objects and

specific. The knowledge gained formally resulting individuals having a pattern of thought and

behavior in accordance with the education they have gained.

Students learn from their parent’s behavior, which is reinforced through rewards and

punishments. The parent’s involvement in their child’s education can act as positive

reinforcement and encourage good behavior, while the lack of parental involvement can lead to

negative behavior and a lack of academic motivation. (Rashid, 2023)

Disengaged parents who are not interested in the academic life of their kids often

promote school failures, making it difficult to learn appropriate behaviors and limits in school

and other social situations. Especially during the college journey, it's hard to make some

interactions with college students and participation with those professors.

essential for parents to take an active role in their child’s education and work with teachers to
promote positive behavior and academic success.

student behavior among college students and how it works through their academic success.

challenges in school whether it talks about the activities or about communicating with his/her

they know that there are people who will always be there to provide for and guide them
throughout this journey of life.
