Dampak Lingkungan Keluarga Terhadap Prestasi Belajar Siswa Sekolah Dasar di Era Digital

Abstract

This qualitative study investigates the impact of the family environment on the academic achievement of primary school students in the digital era, focusing on the Ngawi sub-district. As digital technology increasingly shapes modern life, the dynamics within the family—including parental involvement, digital literacy, and the home learning atmosphere—are crucial for a child's educational success. Using a phenomenological approach, this research aims to deeply explore the lived experiences and perceptions of parents, students, and teachers regarding how the digital family environment influences student learning. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with 15 participants—five students, five parents, and five teachers—and observations of their daily interactions. The findings reveal that a supportive family environment with active parental guidance on digital use positively correlates with students' academic motivation and self-discipline. Conversely, a lack of supervision or excessive digital exposure at home can negatively impact students' concentration and study habits. The study concludes that while digital access offers new learning opportunities, parental mediation and a structured home environment are essential for fostering high academic achievement in the digital age. These insights offer valuable guidance for schools and parents on navigating the challenges of modern education.
