THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN FAMILY COHESION AND TYPE OF FAMILIES ACCORDING TO ADAPTATION BETWEEN STUDENTS' ACHIEVEMENTS IN THE EDUCATIONAL PROCESS

The family is an organized and coherent system and has its own structure. In a broader sense, the family represents a biological and social unit that is created in accordance with adequate social norms. Family cohesion is defined as the emotional bond that exists between family members (Olson, 1999), that is, as the degree of care, help and content that family members provide to each other." (Moos, 1981:2) Meanwhile, family flexibility (adaptability) means the family's willingness to change leadership, rules and roles within the family. In order for the family to function optimally, highlighting the achievements of students in education, the degrees of cohesion and adaptability must be between separation and emotional connection, and if these two degrees of family cohesion are emphasized, we can say that it becomes word for balancing family reunification. (Olson, 2000; Olson and Gorall, 2006, according to Zlokavić, 2012) Therefore, the main purpose of this research has been to observe what is the relationship between family cohesion and the type of families, as adaptability to the achievements of students in the educational process. The populations of this study were elementary school students in Tetovo and a randomly selected sample from the data list for school students, using the clustering method based on the group. The number of students was chosen based on the probability of error +\- 5 and the number of the population, which were verified from the data list. The research has been quantitative, where the survey with the measuring instruments FACES II and FACES III was used as a technique. The SPSS standard statistical package was used for data processing. The results of the research came to the conclusion that family cohesion is a very significant factor for student achievement in the learning process.
