What I Have Learned

Activity 1.2.3. Look Back and Reflection 1

Based on the lesson, I have learned that research titles should condense the paper’s content in a
few words, it should attract the audiences to encourage them to read the paper, it should also contain
keywords to make it easy to easily allow others to find my research paper, and the research paper
should also allow others to understand the purpose and nature of the research paper.

What I Have Learned. Activity 1.2.6. Looking Back and Reflection 2

Based on the lesson, I have learned that the nature of writing a research paper is to understand
society and social processes, as well as to test and to create theories for us to be informed about social
action and hopefully improve social conditions. I also learned that research gives us information about:
attitudes, habits, scientific facts, cultures and norms, medical information, thoughts, and opinion.

Previous Statement Of The Problem Revised Statement Of The Problem
 1. Motorcycles are parked everywhere
2. There is no proper parking space
1. Old jeepneys are common transportation
which is dangerous because it is not very
safe
2. Social distancing inside jeepneys are not

1. Social distancing is not followed
2. People are not in line and are scattered

Motorcycles are not parked properly. Proper
implementation of appropriate parking spaces is
not enforced well. This is significant because it
causes blockages in the street and worsens traffic
flow. What is needed to enforce proper parking
and improve traffic flow?
Old jeepney transportation forces people to sit
shoulder to shoulder. This common use of
transportation can worsen covid cases. Social
distancing is not implemented well. What should
be done to properly enforce social distancing?
People are scattered everywhere and social
distancing is not followed. This disorderliness can
worsen covid infections. What should be done to
properly enforce social distancing in public
spaces?

What I Have. Activity 1.2.9. Look Back and Reflection 3

I have realized that the statement of the problem describes the issues that the research aims to
address as well as present the objectives of the research. It is also important to know if the problems we
investigate are of relevance to society. Researching anything without significance would be a waste. I
have also learned the proper guidelines in writing the statement of the problem.

What I Have Learned. Activity 1.2.12 Look Back and Reflection 4

Based on the lesson, I have realized that in writing the scope and limitations of a study, I should
state categorically the periods of the study, I should list specific aspects of the data such as personal
information, sample size, geographic location, and variables. I should also list the academic theories
applied so the reader knows the lens of analysis you are using.

Research Title: Parental Support and the Academic Performance of Senior High School Students

Introduction of the Study:

Parents play a crucial role in a child’s upbringing, (Sad & Gurbuzturk, 2013). Parental support
pertains to the effort and participation of a parent when it comes to the schooling and the measurement
of involvement in the life of a child (Althoff, 2010). Rosenblat and Peled (2001) indicated that parental
support is important and can affect a child’s attitude towards schooling.

Jeynes (2007) enunciated that the participation of the parents is essential in a student’s
education. When parents actively support and participate in the education of their children, they are
more likely to excel in academics and perform better in school. Also, the more compendious and well
planned the partnership between the home and school, the higher the chance that a student excels
(Henderson & Berla, 2000).

Parental support can be in the form of involvement in a child’s schooling, and there are three
aspects of parental involvement, it includes home-based involvement, school-based involvement, and
academic socialization, (Fan & Chen, 2001; Hill & Chao, 2009; Hill & Tyson, 2009).

Press Reader (2015) cited, that in the United States of America as per according to Michigan
Department of Education, 86 percent of the people who live there agree that the number one factor
when it comes to making school a better place for students is the parental involvement.

In the Philippines, 78 percent attended a parent-teacher conference as per according to the

Philippine Center of Public Education in 2015, and it showed that the parental involvement programs
indeed provide a primary way for the spouses to participate in the educational process of their children
and it promotes engagement between them. However, parents’ are more likely to be involved in their
children’s education when they are still in elementary, and become less likely in the child’s progress
through middle and high school, as cited by Press Reader (2015).

In Davao City, according to Press Reader (2017), Project Eagle was pushed wherein it aims to
increase the learning outcomes of the learners; strengthen the relationship between the teachers and
the students; keep the learners in school’ and strengthen team teaching and mentoring among teachers.
Also, it increases parental involvement, since parents can gain a better understanding.

This research study aims to determine the relationship between parental support and the
academic performance of Senior High School students in Sto. Tomas National High School. In order to be
enlightened and to understand their different perspectives. This level of access increases the necessity
for researchers to be informed.

Statement of the Problem:

 This study generally aims to determine if parental support through involvement in school
possesses a significant relationship with the academic performance of Senior High School Students in
Sto. Tomas National High School.
Specifically, it seeks to answer the following questions:
1. What is the level of parental involvement of parents with Senior High School students of STNHS?
2. What is the level of academic performance of Senior High School students of STNHS?
3. Is there a significant relationship between the parental involvement and academic performance of the
Senior High School students of STNHS?

Scope and Limitations of the Study:

The scope of the study is limited to the relationship of parental involvement with the academic
performance of Senior High School Students enrolled in Sto. Tomas National High School for the school
year 2020-2021. There are 300 questionnaires to be adequately filled and returned by the target
audience to ascertain some variables.

Significance of the Study:

The beneficiaries of this study are as follows:

Educators. It is essential for them to understand the variables that are affecting the students’ academic
performance including parental involvement, to help assess their students’ needs.

Parents. It may enable them to think and to understand the critical roles that they play in the child’s
life, especially in their academic performance.

Students. It may enable them to think that they should strive hard in order for them to reach their goals
in life.

Future Researchers. It will help to focus and in identifying the priority areas in which it carries more
research about the students’ academic performance.
