Impacts on Student Learning and Academic Achievement

Impacts on Student Learning and Academic actEducation is the most serious part of life to uphold rawsworthiness and human can increase knowledge through which an individual feed the world for good and sinful on the basis of his wishes. Education, in fact, is unrivalled of the major life processes of human beings, as there ar some other brisk processes to live likewise procreation, are as well as a live process in e rattling aspect of human life. (Ahmer. F Anwer. E, 2013)thither are many factors which effects on assimilators sort outment and faculty member work including student act, teacher role, family set up, discipline purlieu, peer relationship and the most all important(p) factor is the sociostinting berth of parents. According to Mehmood and Saifi (2011), socioeconomic stance is a combined measure of an individuals or familys economic and social position relative to others, based on income, education, and occupation. The home environment is influenced by the factors such as parents education, occupation, income, and facilities provided to their fryren. All these factors to locomoteher can be defined by a single name the socio-economic condition (SES) of parents. Thus we can say that the socioeconomic status of parents affects the performance, learning and faculty memberian action of students.I obligate selected this unclutteric because of the multiple discernments the reason is that being a student I have also depend many hurdles during my studies till now so those movements force me to postulate this topic. Like me, most of the students in our hostel also face m wholenesstary occupations. So due to execrable socioeconomic status students can non compete and unable(p) to achieve their goal. In addition, they become dependent on parents and parents make decisions for them. tho many students end up with psychological problems like stress and belief due to the financial crisis and they cant achieve their ultimate g oal.It is chiefly said that the performance of students in academic depends on the socioeconomic status of their parents. Higher the socioeconomic status the better exposure to learning facilities. If parents are well educated and economically stable they apply their small fryren to get a better education and they always support their squirtren what they want to do. As in literature, it is also verbalize that well-educated parents ensure their nestlingrens future earning by providing them auspicious learning environment but the students who break to a low socioeconomic status family even they cant afford their elemental necessarily. Such students do not have access to learning facilities. (Ahmer. F Anwer. E, 2013).Research shows that students from frown socioeconomic background faced a high risk of low achievement as compared to students from a higher(prenominal)(prenominal) socioeconomic background. Home environment and parents education are directly effect on students learning. (Nasreen. A, 2013).So the environment at home is the basic learning unit and effects a nestling interest and ambitions for the future. If we look upon on our society most raft are more interested in inscrutable people and they show more respect towards them and their children. So research shows that lower Socioeconomic status students have lower and lower academic achievement as compared with students of higher Socio-economic status. When a teacher makes a decision virtually students based on their class and Socio-economic status, they are taking the first quantity in checking students from having an equal opportunity for academic achievement. Ghazi et al. (2013). referable to teachers stigma by and large students suffered from their studies and they cannot show good performance in education. So its educators business to dominate this stigma of poverty and help those students to boost up their hidden talent. existence a citizen of a developing country almost more than fractional of the total population is living in rural areas and they mostly move to the low socioeconomic family. As our country is on the list of unequal countries where the majority of the population belongs to low socioeconomic status. So its very difficult for parents to fulfil all the needs of their children. Poverty is the main problem which has a direct effect on students learning especially when it occurs premature in the childs life. When it remains throughout their life it influences child development in different ways, like the physical and mental health of the child as well as it influences on parents health also. It also influences child affective interactions. According to Karwowski (2012), Parents social position influences many aspects of their childrens school careers. The higher social position of parents of children with disabilities may make it easier for them to meet their pricy needs, as well as to act as they support their children in contacts with e ducational institutions and to help them in their studies.I have also experience this kind of situation in my school life. When I completed my standby education with good grades, I got doorway in Aga Khan higher secondary school but unfortunately, at that age, my father lost his job. At that magazine I had no any option to get admission even I couldnt continue my studies and I missed one year and I felt at that time. Even I didnt talk to my family members and it was a moment of disappointment for me and the family as well. At that time I consulted a adviselor who advised me to continue my studies in another(prenominal) college. After all these situations I realized the importance of socioeconomic status.at that time I became very sad because it was very difficult for me to cope with that situation. Due to the economic crises, I had to leave my previous school which was at the top level in our area. In literature, it is also stated that parents income level is an important facto r that affects the academic achievement and performance of their children. If the parents earn good and enough than there would be less stress for the parents as well as for their children. They will provide learning resources easily to their children. While parents with low income, they cannot afford easily their children such a learning environment which becomes a barricade in the learning process. (Ahmad. I Khan.N, 2012). In addition, low income of parents also leads to conflicts in families due to lack of access to basic needs of their children. So the students who belong to a low socioeconomic status they cannot get a choice education and they cannot access new technology facilities like the internet to get information and they are unable to acquire new technology. As in a research among the students of a university in Sargodha shows that students who are getting facilities of new technology show high grades and they show better performance as compared to those students who belong to low socioeconomic status. Azher et al,. (2013).Another factor which affects students learning and academic achievement is parents education. Educated parents can easily understand the basic needs and important resources for their children. For the progress of any individual education fits a vital role in their life.According to Ahmad and Khan (2012), parents education level play an important role in the academic performance of their children. Because educated parents can easily manage the difficulties in any room of their childrens education and they know how to encourage to create interest in the academic performance. Educated parents can easily manage their timetable to check and proportion their daily activities.in addition, especially mother education is very important for child development which has a big effect on a childs performance and academic achievement.According to Lacour. M Laura. D (2011). It is stated that mother education has an important effect on ch ildrens tick rather than parents income. The mothers educational level has 20% higher efficiency than the fathers education level on the academic achievement of students.Another negative effect of low socioeconomic status is the cognitive development of children.Most parents use intoxicant and other shopping centre like cigarettes to cope up with stress during financial crises as I encountered such a client in my neighbour who always drinks alcohol when he faces any problem. He has two children and both are not good at their studies. Both of them always missed their classes and they even cannot exculpate simple mathematics problems.According to Brogan (2009). The families among low socioeconomic status there are more incidents of substance abuse, which effects on their childs cognitive development. Especially if any mothers use alcohol during motherliness their children are more prone to attention problems and the children with premature birth develop neurological problems like mental retardation.They also cause lessened conceiver development. All these problems lead to learning and performance disabilities which effects on academic achievement of children.Being a nursing student its our responsibility to teach about the importance of education for the better development of child and family. Another important factor is parents income which influences a students performance, therefore, it is recommended that the government should take some serious initiatives to provide jobs to people and raise the socioeconomic status of people. The government should provide financial support and should give scholarship especially to those who cannot afford the expenses of education.Mass media also play an important role in the awareness among people regarding the poor literacy condition in our country on account of socioeconomic problems.in addition, we can counsel students to do extra efforts along with their studies so that they dont have to compromise with their stud ies.In conclusion, I want to say that keeping the catch up with of the above discussion there is a direct relation amid socioeconomic status and students learning and academic achievement.Especially the parents income and education level which has a great impact on children academic achievement. Therefore its very important to raise the socioeconomic status of people so they can easily afford their children education expenses. For this, we can have interventions one after another and on government level like educating parents, mass media awareness, and scholarship and so forth As it is stated in a study which is conducted in outside(a) Islamic University Islamabad that socioeconomic status has a significant impact on students learning.
