Abstract

This study aims to examine the influence of the home environment, parental involvement, and student satisfaction on academic achievement in History subjects among Orang Asli Pantai students in Malaysia. Involving 63 respondents from two schools in the Batu Pahat area, this study used a quantitative methodology by collecting data through probe questions. Data analysis was carried out using SPSS version 26. The results of the study show the level of availability of a simple home environment, with variations in completeness and environmental conditions that facilitate review sessions. Parents' involvement in their children's learning shows a modest level, with strong support in providing facilities and encouragement, but less so in aspects of reviewing exercise books and attending school Open Days. The level of student satisfaction with parents, teachers and the school environment is high, but regression analysis shows an insignificant relationship between this level of satisfaction and academic achievement in the History subject. These findings emphasize the need for a more holistic approach in understanding the factors that influence student academic success, especially in the context of Indigenous and minority education. This study provides insight into the complexity of the relationship between environmental factors, family support, and educational satisfaction on academic achievement, and suggests the importance of comprehensive and layered interventions to improve the academic achievement of Orang Asli Pantai students in History subjects. In conclusion, this study shows that despite the influence of home environment availability, parental involvement, and student satisfaction, these relationships vary in strength and significance, indicating the need for a more inclusive and holistic approach to education.
