Abstract
Learning motivation is a crucial factor that determines child adjustment and ultimately alters their behavior and mental health. To study different variables that influences learning motivation the most, this research focuses on parenting style and parents’’ education level to expand the object of study. The research developed thorough and complete analysis on previous studies which used different methodologies and perspectives to interpret their data. The paper concludes that the majority of previous studies agree that education level and parenting style have strong impacts on learning motivation of children, despite the fact that their causal relationship and direct influence still remained ambiguous. Findings prove that children tend to have higher learning motivation with parents who undertook higher education level, while authoritative parenting among all parenting styles promotes learning motivation the most. The results underlying various theoretical and practical implications from those studies reveal the relationship between learning motivation and parenting styles and education level. Suggestions and future research directions are also discussed. It is not yet clear which one of the conditions gives the strongest impression to learning motivation for the researchers, and therefore more attention are integrant for the good of both students and parents in terms of motivation of learning.
