Family Structure and Academic Resiliency

This paper investigated the contributions of family structure on students’ academic resilience. Particularly, the study determined the family structure of the respondents and the academic resilience level of students. Also, it tried to determine whether there is a significant difference between family structure and academic resilience. The study utilized a quantitative-descriptive design. There were 198 Grade 11 Senior High School student-respondents from Talakag 1 and 2 Districts who were identified via stratified random sampling. The study used the Academic Resilience Scale-30 to collect the data, which were analyzed and interpreted using descriptive statistical tools such as Frequency and Percentage, Mean and Standard Deviation, and Analysis of Variance. Findings showed that most of the respondents have a nuclear family, and they are resilient in terms of perseverance. There is no significant difference between the respondent’s family structure and academic resilience. Thus, academic resilience is not influenced by family structure. It can be recommended that developing and implementing initiatives may be done to enhance parental engagement and create a supportive and inclusive school environment that fosters resilience-building skills among students.
