From Whole to Broken: An Analysis on the Impact of Broken Families to Students’ Academic Engagement

This study examines the impact of broken families on the academic engagement and emotional well-being of senior high school students. Using a quantitative correlational research design, data was collected from a survey of 120 senior high school students. The results indicate that students from broken families often experience emotional, psychological, and social challenges, such as heightened stress and anxiety, leading to decreased academic performance. Despite these challenges, self-motivation and financial support were found to play significant roles in academic engagement. To support these students, schools should implement structured counseling programs and teacher training initiatives. This study contributes to the understanding of family dynamics and academic outcomes, offering insights for educators, parents, and policymakers on effective interventions.
