<![CDATA[Low student learning motivation is often associated with suboptimal parental involvement in supporting children's learning activities at home. This study aimed to describe the contribution of parents in enhancing the learning motivation of sixth-grade students at MI Nurul Wathan Pelambik and to identify the factors that support and hinder such contributions. This study employed a qualitative approach with a descriptive research design. The research participants consisted of parents of sixth-grade students as the primary informants, while the principal, the sixth-grade teacher, and students served as supporting informants selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through observations, interviews, and documentation and were analyzed using the interactive model of Miles and Huberman, which includes data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings revealed that parental contributions to enhancing students' learning motivation were reflected in three main roles: as role models, facilitators, and motivators. As role models, parents fostered religious values and positive behaviors through daily practices. As facilitators, they provided educational needs according to their financial capacity. As motivators, they encouraged their children through attention, praise, rewards, and educational punishment. The supporting factors included parents' awareness of the importance of education, effective parent–child communication, and collaboration with the school. Meanwhile, the inhibiting factors comprised limited family economic resources, parents' occupations as farmers, limited time for learning assistance, and uncontrolled use of digital devices. The study concludes that active parental involvement plays a significant role in enhancing students' learning motivation.]]>
