Chapter I

BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

Parental involvement includes a wide range of behaviors but

generally refers to parents' and family members' use and

investment of resources in their children's schooling. These

investments can take place in or outside of school, with the

intention of improving children's learning. Parental involvement

at home can include activities such as discussions about school,

helping with homework, and reading with children. When parents

are engaged in their children’s school lives, students have the

home support and knowledge they need to not only finish their

assignments, but also develop a lifelong love of learning.

Economics plays an integral role in this educational experience, and

even plays a substantial role in student confidence, further

exacerbating its influence (Smith, Wohlstetter, Kuzin & De Pedro,

2011).

Researchers Xu, Benson, Mudrey-Camino and Steineret (2010),

believe parental involvement in homework can be a tool to keep

parents well informed of the child’s strengths and weaknesses in

several subject areas particularly reading.

Significance of the Study

The significance of this study is for the benefit of all

students, parents, and teachers. Students will have better

achievement in and out of the classroom with reinforcement and it

will keep parents better informed about their child’s learning.

Although research has proven and shows positive effects on

academic achievement based on parental involvement in homework.

Teachers will also gain additional insight for using homework in

their classroom as a way to assist students more effectively and

potentially become a resource for helping other students across

the curriculum.

Scope and Limitations of the Study

The Researcher considered to conduct the study in Poblacion

of Miagao because of its accessibility. Besides, no one has

conducted any study of this kind in these communities.

The study was limited to include children, age 10 to 16

year old regardless of sex whether they are in Online

Learning or Modular learning

Academic Achievement. Defined as excellence in all academic

disciplines, in class as well as extracurricular activities.

It includes excellence in sporting, behavior, confidence,

communication skills, punctuality, assertiveness, Arts,

Culture, and the like. The act of achieving or performing.

Something that has been done or achieved through effort: as

result of hard work (Fan, Williams & Wolters. (2011).

Parental Involvement. Knowing the teacher, knowing what

assignments are due, knowing what the teacher expects and

giving support. Providing materials and time to do projects,

expecting quality work from your child, checking up with

questionable grades and occurrences, no unnecessary

absences. Expecting homework to be done or reviewed daily

even when the child says there is no homework while checking

backpacks regularly (Fan, Williams & Wolters. (2011).

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE

This literature review focus is on research and studies of parental

involvement,and parental involvement and homework. You will also

learn how parental involvement and participation in the academic

growth of our students, according to the studies and research in

this review, can affect student’s lives not only academically but

both socially and emotionally as well.

The behavior of parents plays a vital role for the

development of children. Parent involvement in a child's early

education is consistently found to be positively associated withl

a child's academic performance. Specifically, children whose

parents are more involved in their education have higher levels

of academic performance than children whose parents are involved

to a lesser degree.

Fan, Williams and Wolters (2011) investigated how different

dimensions of parental involvement similarly or differently

linked to various constructs of school motivation across ethnic

groups (Fan, Williams and Wolters 2011). A structural equation

modeling approach used to examine the structural relations

between student school motivation and parental involvement (Fan,

Williams and Wolters 2011). The baseline model was applied to

each of the ethnic samples in order to evaluate the model fit to

assess the effects of parental involvement on student school

motivation in each ethnic group (Fan, Williams and Wolters 2011).

Overall, findings support aspects of parental involvement. (Fan,

Williams and Wolters. (2011). In this small-scale study Sheppard

(2009) collected data on 57 pupils’ attitudes to school and

schoolwork and their perceptions of their parents’ involvement in

their education. Sheppard (2009) examined the role of these

variables in relation to school attendance, ‘good’ and ‘poor’

attenders of 12 to 13 years of age, matched for ability, and were

compared on a number of quantifiable measures regarding their

perceptions of schoolwork and their parents’ behavior in relation

to aspects of their schooling.

Summary

The Researcher showed that the parental involvement has a

significant role in student’s academic achievement. Parent

involvement is one factor that has been consistently related to a

child's increased academic performance.

The study shows that parental involvement is viewed as one of the

most effective educational strategies in student achievement and

reducing education imbalances. The outcome of each of these

studies showed an increase in parent participation and increased

student outcomes. To conclude on the basis of evidence, parental

involvement in homework does increase and improve student

outcomes and achievement.

involvement does occur and makes a difference in academic

academic achievement by having direct or indirect parental
involvement with their homework.
Therefore, this study is designed to examine the extent of
parent involvement in their child’s homework and explore
relationships as it relates to student outcome and achievement.
The study took a qualitative approach based on two separate
surveys of students’s parents and the students. And, the
importance of homework and particularly parental involvement in
homework.

The respondents of the study are the children and parents
near población of Miagao who are willingly to participated in the
study. They were identified through simple random sampling. The
repondnents were asked to sign the participant’s consent as proof
that they have agreed as research respondents before they were
interviewed.
The respondents used pseudo name to hide their identity,
regardless of sex, age, and whether they on a online learning or
modular learning.

Research Instrument

There are two survey instruments for this study. Both

survey instruments are from previously conducted research and

include twelve Likert-scale items adapted from Reglin, Cameron

and Losike-Sedimo (2003).

Reponses are based on participants answers by choosing,

SA=Strongly Agree, A=Agree, UD=Undecided, D=Disagree, SD=Strongly

Disagree with all items pertaining to homework and parental

involvement. Lastly, an open ended question was included at the

end of each survey for comments about issues or concerns not

addressed in the questionnaire.

of the students. The parent survey consists of demographic

information related to the child. The second part of the parent

survey relates to what extent of importance the parent believes

parental involvement and parental involvement in homework is

important. Finally, the third section would allow parents to make

any comments or express their concerns about parental involvement

and homework.
