Abstract

The high role of parents in influencing students' internal conditions in learning certainly requires special attention. Learning difficulties in mathematics allow parents to apply a strict parenting style. However, parenting errors can actually reduce interest in learning. The application of the strict parenting style is currently widely used by parents to achieve targets, such as getting rankings, so that they can enter the best schools or colleges. However, it seems that this pattern causes violence both physically and verbally, so it is necessary to study whether there is a direct impact on students' interest in learning mathematics. To answer these problems, this study used a survey to as many as 30 fifth grade elementary school students using an instrument containing aspects of control, supervision, demands, interests and the impact felt by students. From the results of the study, it was found that the aspect of parental control had a negative effect on interest, while the aspect of parental supervision and demands had a positive impact, although all aspects did not have a significant impact. From these findings, it can be concluded that strict parenting is not the right parenting style to increase students' interest in learning mathematics. Besides that, this pattern also has an impact on increasing fear and anxiety in students.
