Background: Academic achievement in secondary education is
shaped by a complex interplay of psychological, motivational, and environmental
factors. Understanding these determinants is essential for designing
evidence-based interventions to improve student outcomes.
Objective: This study examines the relative contributions of
intrinsic motivation, academic self-efficacy, parental involvement, and teacher
support to academic achievement (GPA) among secondary school students.
Method: A quantitative correlational research design was
employed with 360 secondary school students selected through purposive
sampling. Validated Likert-scale instruments measured intrinsic motivation,
self-efficacy, academic engagement, parental involvement, and teacher support.
Multiple linear regression was conducted using SPSS v29.
Key Results: The regression model explained 58% of the variance
in GPA (R² = .58, F(5,354) = 97.83, p < .001). Self-efficacy (β = .34) and
academic engagement (β = .32) were the strongest predictors. Intrinsic
motivation (β = .25), teacher support (β = .15), and parental involvement (β =
.10) also made significant independent contributions.
