THE INFLUENCE OF HOME HABITS ON THE LEARNING PROCESS OF ELEMENTARY SCHOOL STUDENTS

Abstract

Habits developed within the family environment play an important role in supporting the success of the learning process of elementary school students. The home serves as the first educational environment for children before they enter formal education at school. This study aims to describe the influence of home habits on the learning process of elementary school students, particularly in terms of discipline, learning attitudes, and learning motivation. This research employed a qualitative approach using a case study method. The research subjects included elementary school students, parents, and classroom teachers. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation. Data analysis was conducted through data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that positive home habits, such as regular study routines, time discipline, the development of responsibility, and parental support, influence students’ readiness, activeness, and motivation in the learning process at school. Therefore, collaboration between parents and teachers is essential in fostering positive habits in students from an early age.
