Abstract
The number of adolescence pursue their education to senior high school and university level in Bandung regency is very low. Most parts of Bandung regency are belonging to rural area, which is remote from the densely populated area in a city. The number of senior high school and university is much less then Bandung city. In one of the area in Bandung regency, adolescence that do not continue their higher education become unemployed or working in informal area. This occur mostly not due to lack of academic ability or intrinsic motivation, but due to financial factors, as their parent-s income is often insufficient for their daily needs and further education available nearby. There are internal and external factors that can affect future orientation. One of the external factor is parents. Parents can have a very crucial impact on their children-s future orientation. Therefore, the present study investigated the influence of parent support on the motivation and interest of their children, especially in rural area such as Bandung regency. The method employed in the present study was regression study to measure the role of perceived parenting of father and mother on the future orientation of adolescence. The research subject was 93 students who attend 11th grade senior high school (37% male and 67% female), aged between 16 to 18 years old, which in agreement with grade 11 or adolescent period proposed by Santrock (2007), Newman & Newman (2015) and Steinberg (2014). Participants were asked to fill in 2 questionnaire, i.e. perceived parenting and future orientation questionnaire. The correlation analysis of the present study showed that the relationship between future orientation and perceived parenting is not significant (F-value 1.84, p-value = 0.17). Therefore we conclude that the perceived parenting is not significantly related with future orientation. According to Seginer, parenting is not directly related with future orientation, but related through the self, in this case the self is the adolescence.
