| Abstract | The Relationship Between Father-Absence, Self-Concept And Academic Achievement of Standard Four Pupils In Central Trinidad Kesondae Ramsaroop This study sought to compare Trinidadian primary school children from father-absent and father-present homes (family structure) on academic achievement, self-concept and race. Academic achievement and self-concept scores were obtained from four Standard Four primary school students enrolled in one school. Forty-three students were interviewed. Results indicated a low correlation (r pb = 0.042) between primary school students' academic achievement and family structure and that school success was closely related to parental involvement. While a low correlation (r pb = 0.24) was found between primary school girls' level of self-concept and family structure, a modest correlation (r pb = 0.47) was found for primary school boys. Although a low correlation (0.30) was found between academic achievement and selfconcept of primary school children, this was statistically significant at the 5% level of confidence. A modest correlation (0.40) was found between academic achievement and self-concept of primary school children from father-present homes, but a very low correlation (0.09) was found for primary school children from father-absent homes. |
