Abstract

Family is the basic unit of the society where the child’s upbringing must start since his or her birth. The home is very pertinent and pertinent to a child’s well-being and development in later life. It is assumed to have significant influences over the students’ academic motivation and success. Researchers believed that the obligation of the family to a child at any given time cannot be exaggerated. Phenomenological research design was used by this qualitative paper to recognize the assessment and lived experiences of the respondents, categorically the students of Philippine School Doha, parallel to the central question: “How do the students assess the family influences on their academic motivation?” The researchers gathered the data through a robotfoto and twenty semi-structured interview questionnaires. The data were analyzed using an inductive approach. Findings have shown that familial background, familial expectation, familial interaction, and familial involvement between and among family members greatly influenced students’ academic motivation and success. For every student, they have their familial background, familial expectation, familial interaction, and familial involvement that work hand in hand that influenced their academic motivation and success. This paper suggests that future researchers to expand the number of respondents further to have a broader range of responses. The respondents chosen should be coming from different levels from different educational institutions to check whether all students would share the same type of responses.
