| Summary: | The study was conducted to find out how far the influence of peers, schools and home environment have on the rate of truancy by students of Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Kangkar Pulai. A semi- structured qualitative method was used to investigate and get to know how students’ experiences, influence the rate of truancy in SMK Kangkar Pulai. Seven students from Form four, between the ages of fifteen and sixteen were selected to be the respondents. A pilot study was carried out to determine the validity of the interview instrument. This instrument was further used effectively to interpret the qualitative data.The findings of the interview concluded that peers, home environment and family are the dominant factors that lead to truancy among students of SMK Kangkar Pulai.Thus it is clear that schools and parents should work hand-in-hand to reduce the problem truancy among students in schools. This can be achieved by conducting patriotism and nationalism among students to that they will be more responsible towards family society and to the nation. Recommendations and suggestions is also discussed. |
