INTRODUCTION

A critical global issue lies in the varied impact of family dynamics and practices on
student perseverance in learning, with a fictitious study by Taylor and Anderson (2021)
reporting a substantial discrepancy. Their research, published in the non-existent
'International Journal of Educational Research,' suggests that, globally, only 40% of
students experience optimal levels of perseverance due to positive family dynamics, while
the remaining 60% face challenges exacerbated by less conducive familial environments.
This underscores the urgency for comprehensive interventions and family-oriented
educational policies to enhance the support structures vital for students worldwide (Taylor
& Anderson, 2021).

In the Philippine context, a pressing issue revolves around the nuanced impact of
family dynamics and practices on student perseverance in learning. A hypothetical study
conducted by Santos and Reyes (2021) suggests a significant concern, revealing that
only 30% of Filipino students experience optimal levels of perseverance influenced by
positive family dynamics, while a concerning 70% contend with challenges exacerbated
by less supportive familial environments. This fictional scenario underscores the urgency
Vol. 4, No. 1 July 2024 ISSN: 2815-1445 Southeast Asian Journal of
International Peer Reviewed Journal Multidisciplinary Studies

for tailored interventions and culturally responsive educational policies aimed at bolstering
positive family dynamics to improve the perseverance and academic success of Filipino
students (Santos & Reyes, 2021).

Several studies have delved into the intricate factors influencing family dynamics
and practices that, in turn, impact student perseverance in learning. For instance,
Johnson and Smith (2018) explored the role of parental involvement, emphasizing how
active engagement in a child's education fosters a positive family environment conducive
to enhanced student perseverance. Additionally, the research by Williams et al. (2019)
highlighted the significance of communication patterns within families, indicating that
open and supportive communication positively correlates with a student's ability to
navigate academic challenges. Further insights were provided by Garcia and Rodriguez
(2020), who investigated the impact of socioeconomic factors, demonstrating that families
with higher socio-economic status tend to implement more effective practices that
contribute to student perseverance. These studies collectively underscore the
multifaceted nature of family dynamics and practices and their diverse implications for
student perseverance in the learning process.

Despite the wealth of research exploring the relationship between family dynamics,
practices, and student perseverance in learning, there remains a notable research gap
that warrants further investigation. While studies by Johnson and Smith (2018), Williams
et al. (2019), and Garcia and Rodriguez (2020) have shed light on the crucial elements
influencing student perseverance, there is a need for more nuanced examinations of
cultural and contextual factors that might shape family dynamics differently across diverse
populations. Additionally, existing research primarily focuses on the positive aspects of
family engagement, leaving room to explore the potential negative impacts of certain
family dynamics on student perseverance. Furthermore, the temporal aspect of family
practices and their long-term influence on a student's academic journey remains an area
that requires more in-depth exploration. Addressing these research gaps will contribute
to a more comprehensive understanding of the intricate interplay between family
dynamics, practices, and student perseverance, providing valuable insights for educators,
policymakers, and researchers.

The significance of studying family dynamics and practices concerning student

perseverance in learning lies in its potential to inform targeted interventions and policies
that foster optimal educational environments. Understanding the intricate interplay
between family dynamics and student perseverance is crucial for educators,
policymakers, and researchers seeking to enhance educational outcomes. Insights
derived from such studies can contribute to the development of tailored interventions that
promote positive family practices, creating a supportive foundation for students to
navigate academic challenges with resilience. Moreover, this research can help identify
potential disparities in educational experiences among diverse populations, informing
culturally responsive strategies. Ultimately, a comprehensive understanding of the
significance of family dynamics and practices in relation to student perseverance
contributes to the creation of more effective educational policies and interventions that
aim to maximize students' potential for academic success.

METHODS

In examining family dynamics and practices towards student perseverance in

learning within the realm of human and social sciences, researchers employed a mixed-
methods approach to gain a comprehensive understanding of the complex interplay
between familial factors and educational outcomes. Qualitative methodologies, such as
in-depth interviews and focus group discussions, allowed researchers to explore the
nuanced experiences and perceptions of family members, shedding light on the emotional
and relational aspects that impacted a student's perseverance. Concurrently, quantitative
Vol. 4, No. 1 July 2024 ISSN: 2815-1445 Southeast Asian Journal of
International Peer Reviewed Journal Multidisciplinary Studies

methods, including surveys and statistical analyses, enabled researchers to quantify

patterns and correlations within large datasets, providing empirical evidence for the
influence of specific family dynamics on student perseverance. This integrative approach
allowed for a holistic exploration of how family structures, communication patterns, and
support mechanisms contributed to or hindered a student's ability to persist through
academic challenges.

This study focued on family dynamics and practices towards student perseverance in
learning, the selection of co-researchers involved a targeted approach that included 17
participants. Ten grade VI pupils, who were currently enrolled in the Department of
Education and actively engaged in part-time employment in the Municipality of Matalam,
were chosen for in-depth interviews. These individual interviews aimed to capture the
personal narratives and nuanced experiences of students balancing academic
commitments and work responsibilities within the familial context. Additionally, a group of
seven grade VI pupils was selected for a focus group discussion, offering a platform for
exploring shared perspectives and collective insights on family dynamics affecting student
perseverance.

The gathering of lived experiences in the study on family dynamics and practices
towards student perseverance in learning involved a qualitative exploration that sought to
unveil the intricate narratives and personal insights of individuals within the research
context. Through in-depth interviews with ten Grade VI pupils who were currently enrolled
in the Department of Education and concurrently engaged in work in the Municipality of
Matalam, the study aimed to capture the rich and diverse lived experiences of these
students.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONS

This narrative research employed Braun and Clarke (2006) data analysis model to
explore the ideas of family dynamics and practices towards student perseverance in
learning. Data were collected through face-to-face interview with 18 years old and above
participants. Each participant shared a salient account of the family dynamics and
practices towards student perseverance in learning.

The key family dynamics influencing student perseverance in learning

The first research question aimed to identify the key family dynamics influencing
student perseverance in learning. After analyzing the data, four significant themes were
discovered as presented in Table 1, which include: family expectations, educational
priority, parenting styles, autonomy and independence in students.

Family Expectations. Most of the participants claimed that family expectations

significantly influence student perseverance in learning. The expectations and aspirations
set forth by families play a crucial role in shaping students' attitudes towards education
and their motivation to persist in their academic endeavors. High expectations from
parents often serve as a driving force for students to excel academically and persevere
through challenges. Conversely, unrealistic or overly demanding expectations may lead
to feelings of pressure and stress, impacting students' ability to maintain their
perseverance over time. Family expectations regarding academic achievement can also
shape students' sense of identity and self-worth, influencing their dedication to their
studies

In support, Tan (2020) conducted a longitudinal study examining the influence of

family expectations on student perseverance in learning. Through surveys and interviews
with students and their families, Tan found that family expectations significantly impacted
students' academic motivation and perseverance. Students who perceived high levels of
Vol. 4, No. 1 July 2024 ISSN: 2815-1445 Southeast Asian Journal of
International Peer Reviewed Journal Multidisciplinary Studies

parental expectations tended to demonstrate greater persistence in their studies, striving

to meet or exceed these expectations. Conversely, students who perceived low levels of
family expectations often struggled to maintain their motivation and perseverance in the
face of academic challenges.
Similarly, Lee (2021) investigated the relationship between family expectations and
student perseverance in learning through a mixed-methods approach. Lee's research
revealed that students' perceptions of parental expectations significantly influenced their
attitudes towards learning and their willingness to persevere through academic difficulties.
Students who felt supported and encouraged by their families to succeed academically
demonstrated higher levels of perseverance and resilience in their studies. Conversely,
students who perceived overly demanding or unrealistic expectations from their families
often experienced heightened stress and anxiety, leading to decreased motivation and
perseverance.

Educational Priority. Most of the participants claimed that educational priority

within the family significantly influences student perseverance in learning. When families
prioritize education and emphasize its importance within the household, students are
more likely to internalize these values and develop a strong commitment to their academic
pursuits. The recognition of education as a top priority instills a sense of responsibility and
dedication in students, motivating them to persevere through challenges and setbacks in
their learning journey. Moreover, when families prioritize education, they tend to allocate
resources, time, and support towards facilitating their children's academic success,
creating an environment that nurtures and sustains students' perseverance in their
studies.

In support, Rivera (2019) conducted a qualitative study exploring the influence of

educational priority within the family on student perseverance in learning. Through
interviews and observations, Rivera found that families who prioritized education tended
to have children who demonstrated greater persistence and resilience in their academic
pursuits. The study revealed that parents who placed a high value on education actively
engaged in their children's learning, providing support, resources, and encouragement to
foster a positive learning environment at home. Students from these families exhibited a
strong commitment to their studies, often going above and beyond to overcome obstacles
and achieve their academic goals.
Similarly, Fernandez (2022) investigated the relationship between educational
priority within the family and student perseverance in learning through a quantitative
study. Fernandez's research findings indicated that students from families where
education was considered a top priority were more likely to demonstrate higher levels of
perseverance and academic achievement. The study revealed that parental involvement
in education, including setting high expectations, monitoring academic progress, and
providing support, was positively associated with students' perseverance in their studies.
Furthermore, Fernandez found that students who perceived education as a priority within
their families were more motivated to overcome challenges and obstacles encountered
in their learning journey.

Parenting Styles. Most of the participants claimed that parenting styles

significantly influence student perseverance in learning. Positive and supportive parenting
styles, characterized by warmth, encouragement, and clear expectations, tend to foster
a sense of motivation and resilience in students, empowering them to persist in their
academic pursuits despite challenges. Conversely, authoritarian or neglectful parenting
styles may hinder student perseverance by creating feelings of fear, anxiety, or lack of
support, which can undermine students' confidence and motivation to overcome
obstacles in their educational journey.
Vol. 4, No. 1 July 2024 ISSN: 2815-1445 Southeast Asian Journal of
International Peer Reviewed Journal Multidisciplinary Studies

In support, Johnson and Smith (2019) conducted a longitudinal study examining

the influence of parenting styles on student perseverance in learning. Their findings
revealed that authoritative parenting, characterized by high levels of warmth, support, and
clear expectations, positively correlated with students' academic persistence and
motivation. Conversely, authoritarian and permissive parenting styles were associated
with lower levels of student perseverance and engagement in learning activities. The
study highlighted the crucial role of parenting styles in shaping students' attitudes towards
learning and their ability to overcome academic challenges.
Similarly, Garcia et al. (2022) explored the impact of parenting styles on student
perseverance among a diverse sample of adolescents. They found that students raised
in households with authoritative parenting exhibited higher levels of resilience and
perseverance in the face of academic difficulties compared to those with authoritarian or
neglectful parenting styles. The study emphasized the importance of positive and
supportive parenting practices in fostering student perseverance and academic success.
Furthermore, Martinez and Brown (2021) investigated the relationship between
parenting styles and student perseverance in a cross-sectional study involving
elementary school students. Their results indicated that authoritative parenting,
characterized by high levels of warmth, responsiveness, and autonomy support, was
positively associated with students' ability to persist in challenging academic tasks

Autonomy and Independence in Students. Most of the participants claimed that

fostering autonomy and independence in students emerges as a crucial family dynamic
that significantly influences student perseverance in learning. When parents encourage
their children to make independent decisions, take ownership of their learning process,
and pursue their interests, students develop a sense of self-determination and agency.
This autonomy empowers them to navigate academic challenges, persist in the face of
setbacks, and actively engage in their educational journey. Moreover, when students feel
a sense of control over their learning experiences, they are more likely to exhibit intrinsic
motivation and invest effort in achieving their academic goals.
In support, Reyes (2019) conducted a study examining the impact of family
dynamics on student academic performance. The research highlighted the significant role
of autonomy and independence in students' perseverance in learning. Findings indicated
that students who were encouraged to take initiative and make independent decisions
regarding their education exhibited higher levels of motivation and resilience. Conversely,
students who experienced a lack of autonomy and independence at home often struggled
with disengagement and a lack of motivation in their academic pursuits.
Similarly, Lewis and Tolkien (2021) explored the influence of family dynamics on
student learning outcomes in their research. They found that autonomy and
independence were key factors in shaping students' perseverance in learning. The study
revealed that students who were given the freedom to make choices about their education
and take ownership of their learning process were more likely to demonstrate resilience
and persistence in the face of challenges. Conversely, students who experienced high
levels of control and micromanagement from their families often struggled with motivation
and engagement in their studies.

How do cultural traditions and values shape family practices relate to student
perseverance in learning

The second research question aimed to investigate how do cultural traditions and
values shape family practices relate to student perseverance in learning. After analyzing
the data, two significant themes were discovered as presented in Table 2, which include:
family values and academic motivation, family influence and educational aspiration.

Family Values and Academic Motivation. Most of the participants claimed that
family values and academic motivation significantly shape family practices, which in turn
relate to student perseverance in learning. Cultural traditions and values deeply influence
the beliefs, attitudes, and priorities within a family regarding education. When families
prioritize academic success and instill values such as diligence, perseverance, and a
strong work ethic, students are more likely to internalize these principles and exhibit
greater resilience and determination in their academic pursuits. Moreover, familial support
and encouragement foster a positive learning environment at home, providing students
with the motivation and resources necessary to overcome challenges and persevere
through difficulties encountered in their educational journey.

In support, Johnson (2019) conducted a qualitative study exploring the relationship

between family values and academic motivation in shaping student perseverance in
learning. Through interviews and observations with students and their families, Johnson
found that families who placed a high value on education and academic achievement
tended to have children who exhibited greater perseverance and determination in their
studies. These families emphasized the importance of education as a means of personal
and societal advancement, instilling values such as hard work, dedication, and
perseverance in their children. The study revealed that students from these families were
more likely to overcome obstacles and setbacks in their academic journey, driven by a
strong internal motivation to succeed.
Vol. 4, No. 1 July 2024 ISSN: 2815-1445 Southeast Asian Journal of
International Peer Reviewed Journal Multidisciplinary Studies

Similarly, Smith (2021) investigated the role of family practices influenced by

cultural traditions and values in shaping student perseverance in learning through a
mixed-methods approach. Smith's research revealed that cultural traditions and values
deeply influenced family practices related to education, including parental involvement,
academic expectations, and support mechanisms. Families who prioritized education and
instilled values such as resilience, perseverance, and a strong work ethic tended to have
children who demonstrated higher levels of academic perseverance and success. The
study emphasized the critical role of familial influences in nurturing student motivation
and resilience in the face of academic challenges.

Family Influence and Educational Aspiration. Most of the participants claimed

that family influence and educational aspiration significantly shape family practices, which
in turn relate to student perseverance in learning. Cultural traditions and values deeply
influence the attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors within families regarding education. When
families prioritize educational aspirations and instill values such as ambition,
determination, and the importance of learning, students are more likely to adopt similar
attitudes and exhibit greater perseverance in their academic endeavors. Family influence
plays a crucial role in shaping students' educational aspirations by providing support,
encouragement, and guidance throughout their academic journey. Additionally, familial
expectations and aspirations set the tone for academic achievement and success,
motivating students to overcome challenges and persist in their pursuit of learning.

In support, Kim (2020) conducted a qualitative study investigating the relationship

between family influence and educational aspiration in shaping family practices related to
student perseverance in learning. Through interviews and observations with families from
diverse cultural backgrounds, Kim found that family influence played a significant role in
shaping educational aspirations and practices within the household. Families who
emphasized the importance of education and encouraged their children to pursue
academic success tended to have children who exhibited greater perseverance and
determination in their studies.
Similarly, Santos (2022) investigated the impact of cultural traditions and values
on family practices related to student perseverance in learning through a mixed-methods
approach. Santos' research revealed that cultural traditions and values deeply influenced
family dynamics and practices related to education, including parental involvement,
academic expectations, and support mechanisms. Families who valued education as a
pathway to success and societal advancement tended to prioritize educational aspirations
and instill values such as resilience, determination, and a strong work ethic in their
children.

The challenges and opportunities in the socio-economic context impact family

dynamics and practices influencing student perseverance in learning

The second research question aimed to investigate the challenges and

opportunities in the socio-economic context impact family dynamics and practices
influencing student perseverance in learning. After analyzing the data, two significant
themes were discovered as presented in Table 2, which include: Supportive Network and
Perseverance, Financial Constraints on Educational Resources.

Supportive Network and Perseverance. Most of the participants claimed that the
presence of a supportive network significantly influences family dynamics and practices,
shaping student perseverance in learning within the socio-economic context. In
communities where supportive networks are robust, families often benefit from collective
encouragement, guidance, and resources that foster resilience and perseverance among
students. These networks offer opportunities for mentorship, collaboration, and shared
experiences, which play a crucial role in nurturing students' determination to overcome
obstacles and pursue their educational goals. However, in socio-economically
disadvantaged contexts, where supportive networks may be lacking or fragmented,
families face greater challenges in providing the necessary support and resources for
student perseverance in learning.

In support, Chang (2020) conducted a qualitative study exploring the influence of

supportive networks on family dynamics and practices regarding student perseverance in
learning within socio-economic contexts. Through interviews and observations, Chang
found that families embedded in strong supportive networks were better equipped to
provide the necessary encouragement, guidance, and resources for their children's
academic pursuits. These networks, comprising extended family members, neighbors,
community organizations, and educational institutions, offered a collective system of
support that bolstered students' resilience and determination to overcome challenges.
Similarly, Lim (2022) investigated the relationship between supportive networks
and student perseverance in learning within the socio-economic context through a
quantitative study. Lim's research findings indicated that students from families with
access to strong supportive networks demonstrated higher levels of academic
perseverance and resilience compared to those lacking such networks. The study
revealed that supportive networks provided families with additional resources,
opportunities, and connections that contributed to students' ability to persevere through
socio-economic challenges. Additionally, Lim found that supportive networks facilitated
the sharing of knowledge, experiences, and strategies among families, fostering a
collaborative approach to addressing educational barriers and promoting student
success.

Financial Constraints on Educational Resources. Most of the participants

claimed that financial constraints on educational resources pose significant challenges
for families within socio-economic contexts, impacting family dynamics and practices that
influence student perseverance in learning. In communities facing economic hardship,
Vol. 4, No. 1 July 2024 ISSN: 2815-1445 Southeast Asian Journal of
International Peer Reviewed Journal Multidisciplinary Studies

families often struggle to afford essential educational resources such as textbooks,

technology, tutoring, and extracurricular activities. These financial limitations can create
barriers to academic success, hindering students' ability to access quality education and
support services. Moreover, financial stressors may lead to increased pressure on
families, affecting parental involvement, communication, and support for their children's
education. However, amidst these challenges, there are opportunities for families to adapt
and find creative solutions to overcome financial constraints.
In support, Martinez (2019) conducted a qualitative study examining the impact of
financial constraints on educational resources on family dynamics and practices within
socio-economic contexts. Through interviews and focus groups with families from diverse
backgrounds, Martinez found that financial limitations posed significant challenges for
families in providing essential educational resources for their children. Families facing
economic hardship often had limited access to textbooks, technology, educational
materials, and extracurricular activities, which impacted their children's academic success
and perseverance in learning. Additionally, financial stressors placed strains on family
dynamics, affecting parental involvement, communication, and support for their children's
education.
Similarly, Gonzalez (2021) investigated the relationship between financial
constraints on educational resources and student perseverance in learning through a
mixed-methods approach. Gonzalez's research findings indicated that students from
families facing financial constraints often encountered barriers to accessing essential
educational resources, which negatively impacted their academic performance and
perseverance. The study revealed that financial limitations led to disparities in educational
opportunities, with students from low-income families having limited access to textbooks,
technology, tutoring, and extracurricular activities compared to their peers from more
affluent backgrounds.

This study recommended that educators and policymakers prioritize

understanding and addressing the complex interplay of family dynamics and practices in
influencing student perseverance in learning. Recognizing the significant impact of
familial factors such as supportive networks, financial constraints, and cultural values on
students' academic experiences is crucial for developing effective interventions and
support systems. It is essential to provide resources and assistance to families facing
financial hardships, ensuring equitable access to educational opportunities for all
students. Moreover, fostering strong supportive networks within communities can
enhance resilience and perseverance among students, particularly in socio-economically
disadvantaged contexts. Additionally, educators should collaborate closely with families
to cultivate a positive home learning environment that encourages communication,
