Parental Involvement and Academic Performance of Learners

Abstract

The primary educators of their children are their parents. Their support impacts children's growth, learning, and later academic results. This study sought to identify parental involvement in learners' academic performance in terms of Parenting, Communication, Volunteerism, Learning at Home, Decision Making, and Community Collaboration, find the level of academic performance of learners in the second quarter and significant relationship of the parental involvement and academic performance. This research was conducted to 232 parents in the East 2 District, Division of Gingoog City. The respondents were selected through Slovin's formula. This study utilized the questionnaire from the study of Eldeeb ( 2018). The study utilized a descriptive correlation research design which used frequency, percentage, mean, and standard deviation. Pearson Product Moment Correlation was used to determine the significant relationship between the variables. Results revealed that parents are involved in their children's school life, but this does not seem to have a significant impact on their academic performance. The lack of a significant correlation between parental involvement and grades indicates that parents' efforts are not always reflected in their children's performance. Thus, this study recommends that parents will monitor their children's progress to maximize the effect of their involvement in their children's academic performance. Future research is also recommended on how parental involvement can impact other aspects of learners' academic performance.
