The Role of Parents in Improving Elementary School Students' Learning Outcomes: A Systematic Literature Review

Muhammad Duva Virza Ramadhani

Abstract


This study aims to analyze the role of parents in improving elementary school students' learning outcomes through the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method. Data were collected from articles published in the period 2021–2025 through Google Scholar, resulting in 17 articles related to the role of parents in elementary school students' learning outcomes through the SLR approach. The results of the study show that parental involvement, either as learning companions, motivators, or collaborators with teachers, has a significant effect on students' academic achievement and psychological development. The main obstacles faced by parents include limited time, understanding of the material, access to technology, and digital infrastructure. Effective solutions include structured assistance, training for parents, and intensive collaboration between schools and families. These findings emphasize the importance of synergy between parents, teachers, and related parties to create an optimal learning environment, both in online and offline learning.
