Peran Dukungan Sosial Orang Tua Terhadap Intensi Studi Lanjut Keperguruan Tinggi Dimoderasi Oleh Mindset Pada Siswa Sekolah Menengah Di Kota Gunungsitoli

Abstract

Higher education is important for improving the quality of human resources. Unfortunately, the gross enrollment ratio (APK PT) for higher education in Indonesia is still below the world average (40%), and in the city of Gunungsitoli it is only 33.41% (BPS, 2024). This achievement of APK PT indicates a low intention to pursue further studies in higher education among high school students. Therefore, this study aims to determine the role of parental social support on the intention to continue studies in higher education, moderated by mindset among high school students in the city of Gunungsitoli. The research sample consisted of 306 high school and vocational school students in Gunungsitoli, selected through probability sampling techniques with multistage random sampling. The research measurement tool in the form of a study intention scale, parental social support, and mindset was disseminated using Google Form. The analysis results indicate that mindset significantly moderates the relationship between parental social support and the intention to pursue higher education by 13.6%, while 86.4% is influenced by other factors. Therefore, students' mindsets need to be developed to improve the intention to pursue higher education.
