Family Factors/Home Environment and if it affects the classroom

I have found in an article recently that

A child spending time with their parents

home environment and family factors could possibly affect student learning motivation. There have been studies that have found that gender, socioeconomic factors, and parental status played a role in the motivation of children. Depending on the factors available to the student, in regards to quality and how much they may receive, children can be greatly influenced by what they are given. This article focused on four general characteristics of home environments including developmental stimuli, construct of responsivity, opportunities for various experiences related to spare time being spent outside of the home, and arrangement of daily routine children follow at home. These factors play a large role into motivation of learning for children. Developmental stimuli would increase motivation if there were play tools and shared learning occurred between the parent and child. Construct of responsivity also helps if a parent is able to respond quickly and thoughtfully to their child. Opportunities for experiences outside of the home allows children to learn outside of their daily routines and without a structured construct. The daily arrangement allowed researchers to see how well children followed their routines and to what degree they were successful. These factors helped researchers predict children's mastery motivation within the home. They still do not have the research to conclude whether this can translate into the classroom, but based off the research, they do know that children can have stronger mastery motivation if these factors are present.

In my personal experience with family factors and home environmental factors, I think I am very deficient in this area as well. I do not remember being able to spend time with my family in regards to these family factors. I actually experienced an almost opposite effect. Instead of having stronger master motivation as a child, I experienced it late into my college career. I do believe my case is different, I did not have the chance to spend most of my time with my parents as a child and so my early childhood school years were filled with time spent not focusing in school. Only when I began to piece the importance of doing well in school did I bother spending time to increase my grades.
