Abstract

The aim of this research is to explore how parental literacy is related to academic enthusiasm and academic boredom in secondary school students with learning disabilities. The study is classified as "applied" due to its purpose and "descriptive-survey" due to its method. The population consisted of all 250(92 girls and 63 boys) secondary school students (7th to 9th graders) who have learning disabilities and attend special education schools in the Kurdistan Province during 2022 and 2023.To determine the sample size, the Krejcie & Morgan table was used to select 155 students. Data was collected using a parent literacy questionnaire developed by the researchers (PLQ), an academic enthusiasm questionnaire by Fredricks, Blumenfeld & Paris (QAE), and an academic boredom questionnaire by Pekrun, Götz, Titz, and Perry (QAB). Data analysis was performed using SPSS26, and the structural equation model fit was performed using the Smart PLS3 package. The findings indicated a significant association between parental literacy and academic enthusiasm and academic boredom in secondary school students with learning disabilities, where parental literacy is capable of explaining 89% of the variance in academic enthusiasm and academic boredom. These results suggest that parental literacy can enhance students' enthusiasm and lessen academic boredom.
