ABSTRACT
Despite the strike of the Covid-19 Pandemic in the Philippines, educational staff, parents,
and students did not allow it to stop the education. This resulted in the implementation of different
learning modalities. One of these is the Modular Learning Modality. This learning modality was
adapted and implemented in M. Pesig Memorial School for S.Y 2020-2021 which provides an
opportunity for parents to interact and be involved with their children’s academic activities. This
research study aims to determine the possible impact of this parent’s involvement in Modular
This research used quantitative and descriptive research methods to gather data. The
respondents were Grade 3 (18 pupils and 18 parents) and Grade 4 (12 pupils and 12 parents). The
researcher uses Actual sampling where the whole grade 3 and grade 4 pupils were all taken (b)
Convenience Sampling because the participants (grade 3 and grade 4 Pupils) are ready and easy
to reach since most of them live within the nearby sitio of Barangay Gulod, Calapan City Oriental
Mindoro.

CHAPTER I. INTRODUCTION
In the year 2019, the Corona Virus Disease (Covid-19) hit us. On its first strike, it
does not seem to shake the people but the following year, 2020, we started to feel its effects. This
caused a worldwide pandemic that affects almost billions of people. New normal was introduced.
People are required to follow health protocols to prevent the spread of this virus.
Along with these changes, the Department of Education (DepEd) introduced the Self-
Learning Modules (SLMs) with the Alternative Learning Delivery Modalities (ADMs) offered to
different learners across the Philippines due to prohibited face-to-face classes. These Self-Learning
Modules are designed where all the learners are free to choose what to learn when to learn, how to
learn, and where to learn. Learners are at an advantage to use this form of non-formal mode of
education using self-paced learning materials (Sequeira, 2012). Paired with these SLMs, ADMs
are offered; modular, television-based, radio-based instruction, blended and online to address the
Modular Learning is one of the most used ADM and this is heavily reliant on the More
Knowledgeable Others (MKOs) capacity which is maybe the parents, guardians, and others at the
learner’s home. This gives the fact that parents make a huge impact on a child’s academic
performance within modular learning. Now, parents play a big role in facilitating the child’s
learning process. They are now in charge to teach whatever concept that the child did not

experience with peers and family members. Other people and the social milieu are important
elements influencing the children’s environment (Ali Kemal Tekin, 2011). Children can learn new
things correctly and quickly if there are active people involved in their surroundings. Children
learn best when there is someone to assess their thoughts and actions. In a modular learning
modality, parents are a vital part of children’s environment. For example, parental skills in
modular learning are extremely important to teach child-specific learning areas such as reading
comprehension skills and mathematical skills. In addition, Piaget’s social development theory
supports the idea that parent’s involvements are a crucial factor in a child’s development and
SOCIOCULTURAL THEORY
Lev Vygotsky emphasized the relationship between human beings and their environment
(Vygostsky, 1978). Children’s interaction with their family members or peers is vital for their
6
learning and development since their family was their first teacher and their home was their first
learning environment. This supports the idea of parental skills have an impact on a child’s
concept to stand to the idea that the children have levels of problem-solving ability. Vygotsky
defined ZPD as “the distance between the actual development level as determined by the
independent problem solving and the level of potential development as determined through
problem-solving under the adult guidance or in collaboration with More Capable Peers
(Vygostsky, 1978, p. 86). ZPD shows that children can learn and achieve something at one level.
But another level was introduced. It refers to the child’s abilities when working with more capable
peers or under the guidance of adults. For example, by solving a mathematical problem that is
new to the child, parents or guardians will show how to solve the problem. This shows that
something can be learned through working with more capable peers or adults. Accordingly, by

CHAPTER II. REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE & STUDIES
Local
According to the Child and Youth Welfare Code of the Philippines, the child is one of the
most important assets of the nation, the promotion and enhancement of the child's life and welfare
is also anchored on the moral supervision and support given by his parents or guardians. For a
child to succeed, parents exert a lot of influence on their child's cognitive development in the early
years and thus, the contact between home and school should be maintained, especially during the
parental involvement, most parents, if duly encouraged, can devote extra time and effort to
assisting with their children’s education, both in the home and school settings (Ho, 2009). Parent

Review Of Literatures 42 principals, teachers, and parents go hand in hand in achieving the
progress of the pupils and of the total school community (Evangelista, 2008). Hoover-Dempsey &
Sandler describes parental involvement as a “rich vein” of continued parental influence in the lives
of children as they develop through the elementary, middle, and high school years. This implies
that the benefits of a strong home-school relationship don’t end with children’s achievement in
Parents must be considered a constant and principal component of the curriculum. (Nihat

is supported by parents’ involvement at home. Involving parents in education has been reported to
yield positive outcomes in many aspects including increased student attendance to and satisfaction

important and positive variable on children’s academic and socioemotional development (Laura
There is also strong support from international research showing the positive influence of
parental involvement over academic achievement, as has been demonstrated in a variety of meta-
analyses across different populations and educational levels (Castro et al., 2015; Jeynes, 2016; Ma
et al., 2016). Moreover, although there is a wide range of parental involvement definitions, some
more general and others more specifics, there is a consensus among research results about the
positive influence of parental involvement over child academic achievement. For example, in the
meta-synthesis of Wilder (2014), where nine meta-analyses are analyzed, this influence was
consistent throughout the studies, regardless of the different definitions and measures used.
However, most of the studies on parental involvement in education hail from anglophone
countries and are based on cross-sectional and correlational designs (Garbacz et al., 2017) while
in Latin America research remains scarce. In a recent systematic review of the literature on parental
involvement in education in Latin America, only one Mexican study from 1998 was found which
was also heavily influenced by interventions from the United States (Roth Eichin and Volante
Beach, 2018). Chile has acknowledged the importance of collaborative relationships between
9
families and schools developing a National Policy for Fathers, Mothers and Legal Guardians
Apoderados/as en el Sistema Educativo) in 2002 which was recently updated in 2017 (Ministerio
de Educación, Gobierno de Chile, 2017). Since the publication of this policy, various local
initiatives have sprouted in the country seeking to strengthen school-family relations (Saracostti-
Schwartzman, 2013).
