Abstract:

This study explored how digital skills and family financial resources impacted educational success among senior high school students. Given the increasing role of technology in education and the influence of socioeconomic factors on academic performance, this research addressed the gap in understanding how these variables correlated with students' educational outcomes. Data were collected from senior high school students using a quantitative research design. Pearson correlation analysis was applied to determine the direction and strength of relationships between digital skills, family financial resources, and educational success. With a sample size of 30, the findings revealed a moderate positive correlation between digital skills and financial resources (r = 0.503, p = 0.388), though it was not statistically significant. Further analysis indicated a weak negative correlation between digital skills and educational success (r = -0.067) and a weak positive correlation between financial resources and educational success (r = 0.400). None of these correlations reached statistical significance at the 0.05 level. These results suggested potential associations among the variables, although not robust enough to draw definitive conclusions in this study. The lack of statistical significance highlighted the need for further research to clarify these dynamics, incorporating additional factors such as school environment, teacher quality, and student motivation. This study contributed to discussing technology and socioeconomic influences in education, emphasizing the complex interplay affecting students' academic performance.
