Frequently Asked Questions

What is the primary focus of this research?

The study investigates the influence of boarding house preferences—specifically proximity, house rules, landlord presence, and facilities—on the academic performance of education college students.

What is the central research question?

The research seeks to determine whether boarding house preferences can significantly predict the academic performance of the students.

Which scientific method was utilized?

The researchers employed a quantitative, descriptive-correlational research method, using a survey questionnaire and statistical analyses like Pearson r and regression analysis.

What are the core environmental factors analyzed for boarders?

The study evaluates four main domains: proximity to the school, the imposition of house rules, the presence of a landlord/landlady, and the availability of house facilities.

What is the main finding regarding academic performance?

The study found that, among the independent variables, proximity to the school is a significant predictor of academic performance for college students.

Which theories anchor this research?

The study is grounded in Bronfenbrenner’s Ecological Systems Theory, Walberg's Theory of Educational Productivity, and the Introduction Development Theory by Clarkson.

How does the proximity of a boarding house affect students?

Proximity is crucial; living within walking distance saves time, reduces travel-related exhaustion, and allows more time for study and participation in school activities.

Why is the presence of a landlord or landlady considered important?

Landlords act as parental figures who provide security, ensure rule compliance, and maintain a safe, conducive environment that helps students focus on their tasks and reduce homesickness.
