1. Parents Teachers Association
(PTA) Role in students learning

2. Introduction
Over time, some students come to a conclusion that
they are "just not good in learning." Factors that discourage
students from learning can be related to school environment
but they can also have their origins in students’
homes. Anxiety about learning can be due to students’ bad
experience from previous school years, to lack of teachers’
consideration for students’ various learning styles, as well as to
certain situations connected with students’ family lives. Very
often children watch their parents struggling with unpaid bills,
unforeseen debts and money problems. As a result, young
people start to associate learning with pain and frustration and
don’t even try to learn it. Many of them remain convinced that
learning is something unpleasant and should be avoided
throughout their whole lives. In their adult lives they miss
professional and personal opportunities because they perform
poorly in learning.

3. Problems occured
Issues regarding students poor performance in
learning Mathematics, Science and English language.

many distractions. Entertainment takes on a higher
priority than does education
2. Physical problem, such as vision or hearing
problems and give up
3. Students have not developed their ability to think
and can’t discover motivation on their own
4. Parents and other family adults are not involved
enough to instill the basis of self-motivation.
5. They don’t see school as providing any benefit to
them.
Cause and effect

5. 1. Lack of motivation

2. Helping the child set achievable goals.
3. understand our child's ability of learning and set
reasonable expectations.
4. Teach the children the importance of learning.
5. Encourage instilling a never-die-attitude in the

Solutions

6. 2. Lack leadership skills
It may sound cliché, but it is crucial to possess
this ‘a must’ element in every student. The high
motivated enthusiastic groups go for every kind of
event to get exposure. Good students always be in
their own group and left the weak students behind. If a
teacher mixes up the students in a group we always
see that the good students will always be the leader or
the group presenter and the weak ones never want to
try their best. They feel scared when teachers point
them to answer question.
Cause and effect

7. 2. Lack leadership skills
1. Develop a range of interpersonal skills that will
become the foundations of their personality in later
life.
2. "Normalizing" shyness should be pretty easy.
3. Compare shy children to other shy children who
have grown up to be successful adults.
4. Match the level of social interaction of a task with
the tolerance level of each child.
Solutions

8. 3. Lack of support at home
The home environment shapes the initial
attitudes that children hold toward learning. In a home
where curiosity, questions, and exploration are
encouraged, children are given the message that
education is worthwhile and personally satisfying.
These children are more likely to take the risks that
are inherent in academically challenging pursuits. On
the other hand, in a home where learning is not
encouraged, children are given the message that
education is of little value and that they lack the
competency and ability to learn.
Cause and effect

9. 3. Lack of support at home
1. Find out how our child is doing.
2. Apply for special services if we think our child may
need it.
3. Make sure that our child gets homework done.
4. Help our child with homework by setting aside a
special place to study
5. Help our child prepare for tests.
6. Learn what the school offers
7. Give full support to our children.
8. Love is the key
Solutions

10. 4. Classroom environment
Stress in the classroom environment affects
children's likelihood of exhibiting learning problems
(difficulties with attentiveness, task persistence, and
flexibility), externalizing problems (frequency with
which the child argues, fights, disturbs ongoing
activities, and acts impulsively), problems interacting
with peers (difficulties in forming friendships, dealing
with other children, expressing feelings, and showing
sensitivity, or internalizing problems (presence of
anxiety, loneliness, low self-esteem, and sadness in
the child).
Cause and effect

11. 4. Classroom environment
1. Must teach our children to behave well in school .
2. Guide our children to become a good person.
3. Help the teachers in making the classroom clean
and tidy by organizing a ‘gotong-royong’ activity
during weekends .
4. Teachers could let parents know how they can
reinforce classroom learning at home.
Solutions

12. Conclusion
Parents involvement to solve a particular problem
such as poor attendance, poor performance in
learning or students behaviour can also be beneficial.
And parent involvement should be a support, not a
substitute, for the true work of schools: good teaching
and learning. Structuring the partnership between
schools and parents is one of the best things school
boards can do.
