CHAPTER IV RESEARCH FINDINGS AND DISCUSSIONS
A. Findings
1. The Description of the Data
Since it has been discussed in the previous chapter, the study used correlational study for investigating the case whether there is any significant
relationship between parents’ involvement and student’s English learning
achievement or not. To figure out and get the data of the study, the writer adapted the indicator
of parents’ involvement questionnaire that is designed by Schute et. al. The indicators are formulated into 35 items of question which is reduced into 25 items
as a result of validity and reliability of the questionnaire. Further, the researcher used the score in the report book of eighth grade
student’s English learning achievement in the second semester of academic year 2014-2015.
Additionally, the researcher conducted the research using questionnaire in 8-C in which consists of 35 students. Before the researcher did the research, she
did the validity and reliability of questionnaire in 8-A. Then, the writer analyzed the data using Pearson Product Moment formula to know the relationship between
variable X and Y.
a. The Data of Parents’ Involvement and Student’s English Learning
Achievement
The statistical calculation of 35 parents’ involvement and student’s
English learning achievement were calculated. The total parents’ involvement
score is 2205 see appendix 3 and student’s English learning achievement
gets the total score 2553 see appendix 3. The descriptive result of parents’
involvement and student’s English learning achievement score can be seen as
follow:

1 The Highest Scores: a
Parents’ Involvement : 80
b Student’s English Learning Achievement
: 93 2 The Lowest Scores:
a Parents’ Involvement
: 48 b
Student’s English Learning Achievement : 56
Furthermore, the mean score of parents’ involvement score is 63.0
with the standard deviation is 9.729. Meanwhile the mean score of student’s
English learning achievement is 72.94 with 10.530 as its standard deviation. By using SPSS 20, the writer got the summary as follows:

b. The Relationship between Parents’ Involvement and Student’s
English Learning Achievement
To see how significance is the relationship between parents’
involvement and student’s English learning achievement, the researcher calculated it through Pearson Product moment formula. Before calculating the
data, the descriptive score below are the results of X and Y scores: N
= 35 ∑X
= 2205 ∑Y
= 2553
