PERAN ORANGTUA DALAM MENINGKATKAN MOTIVASI BELAJAR ANAK USIA 10-14 TAHUN DI DESA SIBORBORON KEC.SIJAMAPOLANG KAB. HUMBANG HASUNDUTAN

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the role of parents in enhancing children's learning

motivation. The research was conducted in Siborboron Village, Sijamapolang

District, Humbang Hasundutan Regency. This study uses a qualitative descriptive

method. The research subjects were four parents and four children from Siborboron

Village. Data collection techniques used were observation, interviews, and

documentation. The data analysis process included data collection, data reduction,

data presentation, and drawing conclusions. Data validity was ensured through

source triangulation and technique triangulation. The results show that parents play

roles as role models, facilitators, and motivators in improving children's learning

motivation. The motivational strategies provided by parents include giving praise,

rewards, and sanctions. Based on the analysis, it can be concluded that the role of

parents in enhancing children's learning motivation is not yet optimal because the

children still receive insufficient attention in learning at home due to parents being

busy working in the fields.
