INTRODUCTION

The importance of parent involvement in adolescents’ education has

been identified repeteadly as a critical factor contributing to students’ school

attainment (Henderson & Berla, 1996; Kellaghan, Sloane, Alvarez & Bloom,

1978).

Being a parent is universally considered a complex and valued role that

most adults would undertake and regard as one of the most significant steps in

their lives. This is certainly evident in Philippine society, where the family is

“the center of Filipinos’ universe” (Jocano 1998, p.11). From a scientific

standpoint, an understanding of parenting is crucial to the study of human

development, given substantial research evidence that how parents raise their

children is cause and correlate of various positive and negative outcomes,

from school and work success to antisocial behavior and mental illness

(Collins, 2000). However, the current state of knowledge remains dominated

by Western research (Henrich, 2010), and more culturally diverse perspectives

on parenting and families are essential to arrive at a more comprehensive

knowledge of human development.

 Parenting styles in different countries are different. One similarity is

certain: All parents want what is best for their family. Lynn (2017), says her

best ‘Children need unconditional love from their parents and they need

parents who are doing the job of child-raising in a thoughtful and considerate

ways.

Schools are the largest provider of child behavioral health services and

for many children, the only community environment where they will receive

behavioral health intervention (Hoagwood, Burns, Kiser, Ringeisen, &

Schoenwald, 2001). The rates of childhood emotional and behavioral

problems can be efficiently reduced if families and children are engaged at the

tier of support appropriate for their needs (Dishion & Kavanagh, 2003;

Dishion & Stormshak, 2007; Horner et al., 2009). Thus, behavioral health

services that are school based and family focused have the potential to engage

large numbers of individuals and significantly reduce the prevalence of

behavioral health and learning needs (Yu, & Chen, 2014).In the family,

parenting style directly impacts children's behavior and symptoms of behavior.

There is Sample evidence to support the correlation between parenting style

and children's behavioral problems. However, parenting style and children's

behavioral problems have received little attention and research interest in Iran.

Therefore, the current research is deemed necessary and timely. Thus, the

major purpose of this current study is to investigate the relationship between

parenting style and childrens’ behavioural problems.

The family is a socio-cultural-economic arrangement that exerts

significant influence on children’s and the development of their characters

(Baumrind, 1991).
 Any ignorance on the part of parents may lead to unwanted damaging

effects on children’s growth and there after may create misbehavior problems

in children. Parenting

is a composite activity that is the sum of many particular behaviors working

together or individually, to finally have an effect on the child’s behavior

(Baumrind 1978). The pattern of parenting style is utilized to get normal

variations in parents’ endeavor in order to control and socialize their children

(Baumrind, 1991). Specific parenting behaviors, such as physical

punishments, may affect children’s development and consequently cause

behavioural disorders in them. The pattern of parenting style is utilized to get

normal variations in parents, endeavour in order to control and socialize their

children (Baumrind, 1991). Parenting, according to Baumrind (1991)

categorized parents based on two dimensions, responsiveness and demanding.

Theoretical and Conceptual Framework

This study was anchored on the Parenting Style theory. According to

Baumrind, parenting style theory (Maccoby 1992; Baumrind 1991; 1978;

1969), authoritative parents have supporting style. They are mostly adopted by

parents who had both responsive dimensions and demanding. If they had

rational demand from their children; they would respond accordingly to the

children’s need. Authoritative parents also recognized what was their own

special right and that of their children.

When parents have certain expectations from their children and

exhibit responsive and supportive behavior, the children can create their own
self-confidence and responsibility with less problematic behaviors, high rate of

social skills, greater creativity better academic performance in school. In

contrast, due to high response demand between parents and children,

Baumrind (1969; 1978; 1991) demonstrated that permissive parents responded

but were not demanding, so these parents lacked the demanding dimension.

Thus, permissive parents dislike control and authority over their children.

They do not guide their children to regulate their behavior and allow them to

make their decisions alone. Therefore, their children will receive passive and

unresponsive character in their interaction with others. As a consequence, they

become dependent and lack social responsibility and are low in cognitive

development. It is assumed that the permissive parenting style will be

associated positively with children’s behavioral problems either internalizing

or externalizing behaviors.

Reflecting on Baumrind’s theory (1991; 1978; 1969), authoritarian

parents are not only demanding but they are unresponsive to the demand set

by their children. Parental power is important thus, punishment, force and

harshness are mostly techniques that authoritarian parents use to exhibit their

authority. Nevertheless, corporal punishment in childhood may result in

suicide, depression in adulthood or other problems that may manifest in later

stages of the children’s life. They are not warm and seem to use more

punishment, and therefore the authoritarian parents adopting such practice can

influence the behaviors of their children and their activities society have been

unsuccessful; and therefore, such a family will be subject to misbehavior and

other psycho-social behavior (Gallimore & Kurdek, 1992).

 According to a literature review by Christopher Spera (2005), Darling

and Steinberg (1993) suggest that it is important to better understand the

differences between parenting styles and parenting practices: "Parenting

practices are defined as specific behaviors that parents use to socialize their

children", while parenting style is "the emotional climate in which parents

raise their children". The purpose of this study is to examine how parenting

style affects the children’s school engagement and behavior.

Statement of the Problem

This study aims to determine the significant relationship between the Parenting Style

and Students’ Behaviour of Grade 12 STEM students. More specifically, this study

intends to answer the following questions:

Research Questions

1. What is the perceived of parenting style of the respondents?

2. What is the behaviour of the respondents?

 3. Is there any significant relationship between parenting style and student

behaviour?

Hypothesis

There is no significant relationship between Parenting style and behaviour of

students.

Significant of the Study

The investigation would be of great benefit to the following:

Parents. This study will give knowledge to the parenting style and the behavior of

their children as student and will help in guiding them to having a more positive

outlook in school.

Students. Through this study, students will able to understand and realize the

importance of their relationship with their parents and how it affect in their behavior

as a student.

Teachers. The results of this study may use as an instrument of the teachers

and it will help them to know the reasons why the attitudes of their students is

changing.

Future Researchers. This would further guide and give additional perceptions and

information and finding this study will help the future researchers in determining the

significant relationship between parenting style and the behavior of the Grade 12

STEM students.

Scope and Limitations of the study

The respondents of this study is the students who have a strong relationship with their

parents and students who are ineffective in the classroom because they may be

motivated by their involvement in raising by their parents.

Definition of Terms

The following terminologies to be used in this study are operationally defined in order
