IMPACT OF SCHOOL AND FAMILY ENVIRONMENT ON PSYCHOLOGICAL EMPOWER-
MENT AND ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT AMONG SCHOOL STUDENTS
Nasheed Imtiaz
Aligarh Muslim University, India
P
resent modern age is the age of excellence specially, in academics because it is most likely the key of suc-
cess in all spheres of life endeavors. A child being innocent is dynamically in the fast growing and formative
stage. His /her academic achievement seems to be the result of school and environment which a child receives
as well as the family environment. School environment as well as one’s family environment is of utmost impor-
tance for academic performance. School environment where children’s formal education starts is one of the
most important aspects where children’s motivation and attitude towards education is formal and the same
way the development of the child is the result of both home and school environment. It is a matter of fact
that school environment along with family environment is instrumental in developing motivation among the
children for study. Poor and authoritative school and family environment is likely to result poor motivation and
academic achievement whereas conducive school environment and supportive environment at home leads to
higher motivation and successively higher academic achievement. It is also observed that school environment
as well as positive home environment inculcates positive and realistic strength and confidence which is import-
ant for better academic achievement. In the light of the above assertions the present study was undertaken to
investigate the impact of school and family environment on the psychological empowerment and academic
achievement among high school students. This study was undertaken because of the fact that this level is ac-
tually a career determining phase in children’s life. For this purpose N=300 high student were chosen randomly
from the different private and public schools of Aligarh, India. The measures of school and family environment
and psychological empowerment were administered on the participants of 10th standard i.e. high school stu-
dents. The Academic achievement will be determined by tapping information of the last three consecutive
examinations and their average was taken as academic achievement. The results obtained will be discussed in
detail in the full length deliberations.
