Abstract

Despite the significant impact of the house interior and family on academic performance, limited research exists on the influence of housing project quality on students' home study motivation. Thus, this mixed-method study aimed to 1) describe the home environment satisfaction of adolescent students; 2) analyze its importance to study motivation; 3) assess contributing factors to motivation and demotivation, and 4) analyze the relationship between home satisfaction and study motivation. The sample comprised 141 students aged 10-19 from Gawad Kalinga, Los Banos, Laguna. Descriptive statistics, content analysis, and Spearman's rank correlation coefficient were used for analysis. Results showed that the adolescents were satisfied with the physical and social aspects of their homes, but identified areas such as noise level, temperature, lighting, and house size that needed improvement. Both the physical and social aspects were important for the students' motivation, except for parental pressure and comparison. Motivating factors for students' study motivation included access to study materials, a personal quiet study space, food, and family support, while factors that demotivated them included technology, noise, chores, limited space, and hot temperature. A significant correlation was found between study motivation and home satisfaction. The study suggests the importance of supportive family dynamics, adequate study resources, and well-equipped homes, particularly in housing projects, to create conducive learning environments. Recommendations are provided for various stakeholders and future research. Overall, this study highlights the importance of the physical and social home environment in promoting adolescents' study motivation at home and its implications for academic outcomes.
