ABSTRACT

The achievement of a student is the progress the student makes in reaching the defined objectives in the school and the grade the student is and the courses she / he takes. However, it is evident that, in contemporary sense, the concept of achievement cannot be classified in terms of the academic success since it includes non-cognitive behaviors such as interests, personal qualities and attitudes as well as cognitive behaviors such as knowledge and skills. The student‘s achievement is mainly based on the contribution made by a family. The achievement of a student does not only occur as a result of a teacher-student interaction at school. The parents can make significant contributions to complete their children‘s school activities. In this study, the existing situations between the achievements of students, the attitudes of their families and the reasons of communication gap are investigated and some suggestions believed to have a positive effect on a student‘s success have been developed.
