 ABSTRACT

1. Parenting style and strategy have a great influence on a child’s development, particularly

on behavior development and school readiness. It is a strong predictor not only of the

cognitive but also of the social-emotional developmental success in children. Studies have

associated parenting styles and strategies with academic performance and the development

of positive study habits among children of young age. This study is conducted to know the

influence of parental strategies on the study habits of grade one pupils of Juan Morente Sr.

Memorial Pilot School. This study was also conducted to identify the influence of strategies

used by parents that helps in the study habits of their children amidst the pandemic. The

respondents of this study are thirty-five (35) grade one pupils as well as their parents. A set

of questionnaires were used in gathering the research data. Based on the results of the

gathered data, the researcher concluded that parental strategies/styles influence study habits

of grade one pupils and parents employ authoritarian parenting strategies on their children.

 CHAPTER I. INTRODUCTION

A. THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND

Parents have been known to be the child’s first teacher from the moment a child is born.

Studies have proven parental support and appropriate strategies can contribute to a student’s

academic achievement. They have an important role in identifying children’s talents and guiding

them, especially in education. But when the pandemic had started, parents are now taking on a

more support-oriented role by supporting their children as they take on assignments and home

projects. They now become the home facilitators of learning and as they become the tutors and

teachers of their children.

Parents have their parenting styles implemented and practiced at home that could affect the

study habits and academic performance of their children especially now wherein most the students

face a hard time coping with the new form of learning. According to Manzano (2014) at times, a

student’s study habits are affected by their environment and even themselves. Their parents,

friends, family, and teachers are fundamental in the formation of their study habits which is closely

linked to their achievement.

The drastic change in education because of the pandemic caused challenges in learning of

students, specifically in their study habit because it is one of the important factors that affect their

understanding regarding a certain subject so it is also a challenge to parents on how they will

support and encourage their children to be more engaged in learning at home. Studies have also

been conducted on parental involvement concerning homework and scholastic competence.

Hoover-Dempsey and Sandler (1997) found that when parents were given specific instructions on

how to help their child with homework, the students scholastic competence increased. Wahlberg

vi
(1984) also found that parental involvement in their child’s education had a profound impact on

the child’s academic, behavioral, and effective learning.

B. STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM

Generally, this study identified the influence of strategies used by parents that helps in the

study habits of their children amidst the pandemic.

Specifically, the study answers the following questions:

1. What are the parenting strategies/ style used in the home learning of their children?

2. What are the study habits developed by grade 1 pupils?

3. Do strategies used by parents have influenced the study habits of their children?

C. RESEARCH QUESTIONS

1. Do strategies used by parents influence the study habits of their children?

2. Do pupils develop study habits amidst the pandemic?

D. HYPOTHESIS

Null Hypotheses:

1. The strategies used by parents do not influence the study habits of their children.

2. The pupils do not develop study habits amidst the pandemic.

Alternative Hypotheses:

1. The strategies used by parents do influence the study habits of their children.

vii
 2. The pupils do develop study habits amidst the pandemic.

E. SCOPE AND DELIMITATION

This study was conducted during the school year 2020-2021 in Juan Morente Sr. Memorial

Pilot School. The focus of the study is the strategies used by parents on the study habits of their

children.

This study is limited to grade 1 pupils of Juan Morente Sr. Memorial Pilot School as well

as the parents of those students.

F. SIGNIFICANCE AND PURPOSE OF THE STUDY

The purpose of this study is to determine the influence of parental strategies used by parents

on the study habits of their children.

This study will also be significant to the following person :

Students. This study will help them know the importance of study habits and develop their own

so they can improve in academics.

Parents. This study will help them know their roles in improving their children’s study habits and

how parental styles and strategies can help in the academic achievement of their children especially

to parents that are having a hard time figuring how to properly support their child during the remote

learning.

Teachers. This study will help them know that parent orientation is important especially for those

parents who are struggling in teaching their children at home.

Future Researchers. The findings of this study will serve as a source of their literature review.

G. DEFINITION OF TERMS

Parenting styles- a psychological construct representing standard strategies that parents used in

their child-rearing. This represents how parents respond to and make demands on their children. It

is also the type and amount of action taken that lead to the development of a child through

discipline, support and encouragement, and being a role model.

Authoritative Parenting style- parenting style where the parents are nurturing, responsive, and

supportive, yet set firm limits for their children. Parents listen to a child’s viewpoint but don't

always accept it. Responsiveness and demandingness are two elements that describe authoritative

parenting. Parents who scored higher on both responsiveness and demandingness are considered

authoritative parents.

Authoritarian parenting style – this term describes parents who show low support, control their

children and request to follow specific rules. Low responsiveness and higher demandingness are

two elements that describe authoritarian parenting. Parents who scored higher on demandingness

and lower on responsiveness are considered as authoritarian parenting.

Permissive parenting style – this term describes parents who exhibit behaviors that highly support

their children and are very lenient to the children. High responsiveness and lack of demandingness

are two elements that describe permissive parenting. Parents who are more receptive and less

demanding are considered permissive parents.

Neglectful parenting style – this term describes parents who are low in monitoring and low in

supporting their children. Low responsiveness and low demandingness are two elements that

ix
characterize neglectful parenting. Parents who score lower on responsiveness and lower

demandingness are considered neglectful parents.

Study habit – habitual actions through which the students learn his subject matter

Pandemic – epidemic occurring worldwide or over a very wide area, crossing international

boundaries and usually affecting a large number of people.

Remote learning – is where students and educators or information sources are not physically

present in a traditional classroom environment

H. THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK

Pillar Theory

According to Baumrind (1960), there is a relationship between basic parenting styles and

children’s behavior. Baumrind noticed that preschoolers exhibited distinctly different types of

behavior. Each type of behavior was highly correlated to a specific kind of parenting. Different

parenting styles can lead to different child development and child outcomes. Based on extensive

observation, interviews, and analysis, Baumrind initially identified these three parenting styles:

authoritative parenting, authoritarian parenting, and permissive parenting.

Maccoby and Martin (1983) expanded this theory using two-dimensional frameworks. They

expanded Baumrind’s permissive parenting style into two different types: permissive parenting

and neglectful parenting. These four parenting styles are authoritative, authoritarian, permissive,

and neglectful parenting.

x
Parental Involvement Model Process

Hoover-Dempsey and Sandler (1995) provided a theoretical definition for researching

parental involvement. Their theoretical model defines parental involvement according to three

main points:

1. Why do parents become involved in their children’s education

2. How parents choose specific types of involvement

3. Why parental involvement has a positive influence on student’s educational outcomes

This model of the parent involvement process suggests that family engagement is a process that

begins with families’ decision-making about being involved and culminates with student

outcomes. The cognitive component of involvement and self-efficacy for helping succeed in

school. Hoover-Dempsey and Sandler suggest that parents' attempts to support children’s learning

can be classified into one or more of the following categories: involvement through modeling,

involvement through reinforcement, and involvement through instruction. Children’s academic

self-efficacy is not about what they think they can do well, it is about how they think they will

perform on a particular task positively or negatively.

Behaviorism Learning Theory

Behaviorism Learning Theory is a learning theory that focuses on how students learn.

Behaviorism focuses on the idea that all behaviors are learned through interaction with the

environment. This learning theory states that behavior is learned from the environment and says

that the innate or inherited factors have very little influence on behavior. In this theory positive

xi
reinforcement is the key because without positive reinforcement students will quickly abandon

their responses because they don’t appear to be working.

Walberg’s Theory of Educational Productivity

This theory tackles the influence of learning that affects the academic performance of the

student. It is an exploration of academic achievement wherein Walberg used a variety of methods

on how to identify the factors that affect the academic performance of a student. In his theory, he

analyzed influential variables. the variables reflected with different representations. The first three

variables include ability, motivation, and age which reflect students’ characteristics. The variable

also includes classroom, climate, home environment, peer group and exposure to media represents

as the psychological environment.

 CHAPTER II

A. REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE

Gonzales –DeHass (2005) argued that when parents are involved in their children’s

schools, academic motivation and achievement increase. Students' interest in learning,

competence, and understanding of a subject area, improves and promotes student achievement.

Hans and Reiley (2008) examined ways to increased homework completion among middle

school students using selected interventions. One intervention required students to complete a daily

homework planner and parents to sign the planner for verification students who were consistent

with the study requirements received a gotcha slip from school staff as positive recognition. The

findings indicated that most parents cooperated. Despite a few non-participants, the homework

planners, in conjunction with a gotcha slip created a dialog between teachers and students as well

as between teachers and parents. Hans and Reiley also found that not all students know how to fill

out the homework planners accurately and the increased communication with parents served to

improve these students’ organization skills and increase homework completion rates.

According to Crow and Crow (2007), the chief purpose of the study is: to acquire

knowledge and habits which will be useful in meeting new situations, interpreting ideas, making

judgments creating new ideas, and perfecting skills. Therefore, achievement in any form of

academic activity is based upon study, interpretation, and application. Everyone has different study

habits. All often, students perform poorly in school simply because they lack good study habits.

Research revealed that parents' involvement brought positive results ( Bricklin, 1991).

Moreover, recent studies have suggested parental involvement is a key to promote children’s

xiv
academic achievement (Fairbankss,2003). According to Bandura (1995), human behavior depends

on reciprocal interaction through environment, beliefs, and behavior.

More recently, researchers have identified that parenting behavior associated with

parenting styles is related to child outcomes (Baumrind, 1989, Jewel, Krohn, Scott, Carlton &

Meinz 2008). In addition, the researches relate the parenting practice of reading involvement and

students outcome.

According to Nonis &Hudson (2010), Study habits can have either positive or negative

effects on academic performance of because with its direct relationship with it. Moreover,

according to Reed, good and effective study habits are practiced regularly by highly effective

students.

CHAPTER III. METHODOLOGY

A. RESEARCH DESIGN

The researcher used descriptive research because it aims to accurately and systematically

describe a population, situation, or phenomenon being studied. Best cited by Sanchez (1998)

pointed out that descriptive research describes and interprets “what is”. It is concerned with

conditions of relationships that exist, practices that prevail, beliefs and processes that are going on,

effects that are being felt, or trends that are developing. In this research, the researcher was able to

determine the influence of parental strategies on the study habits of their children using the

descriptive – survey research method.

xv
 B. RESEARCH SAMPLING

The sampling technique that the researcher used in choosing respondents is purposive

sampling. According to Lawrence A. Palinkas, purposeful sampling is widely used in qualitative

research for the identification and selection of information-rich cases related to the phenomenon

of interest. Patton (1987, 1990) as cited in Johnson and Christensen (2008) stated that purposeful

sampling is used to describe the same process because individuals or cases that are selected provide

the information needed to address the purpose of the research. Purposive sampling is a non-

probability sample that is selected based on the characteristics of a population and the objective of

the study.

C. DATA GATHERING PROCEDURE

Before the questionnaires were administered to the respondents, the researcher first sought

permission from the school principal to allow her to conduct a study as well as the teachers and

the respondents of this study. The researcher formulates a set of questionnaires for grade one pupils

from Juan Morente Sr. Memorial Pilot School and the parents of those students. The researcher

personally administered the distribution of the questionnaire which were given to respondents

during the distribution of their modules and were returned during the collection of their modules.

D. RESEARCH INSTRUMENT

The main instrument used in this study was the questionnaire. It contained the parental

strategies/ style of parents comprise of authoritative, authoritarian, permissive, neglectful; the

study habits of students in terms of health habits, time management, attitude, concentration, and

preparation.

xvi
 In the preparation of the questionnaire, the researcher exerted the most effort in reading

books, journals of education, some college thesis, and published researches in education which

involved the influence of parental strategies in child’s study habits. The researcher also sought

the help and advice of her adviser regarding the formulated questionnaire. Some revisions were

made before the administration of the questionnaire.

E. RESPONDENTS OF THE STUDY

The respondents of this study are the thirty-five (35) grade one pupils and their parents of

Juan Morente Sr. Memorial Pilot School. Purposive sampling was used in selecting the participants

of this study.

 CHAPTER IV. PRESENTATION, ANALYSIS, AND INTERPRETATION OF DATA

This chapter presents, analyses, and interprets the data gathered from the respondents of

this study.

1. Parenting styles in terms of:

1.1 Authoritative Parenting

Table 1.1 below shows the mean level of agreement of parents of Grade 1 pupils of Juan

Morente Sr. Memorial Pilot School S. Y. 2020-2021 in terms of Authoritative Parenting Style. The

data shows that the respondents strongly agree on the Authoritative Parenting styles which were

evident in its overall mean of 4.72.

Item number three (3) with the mean of 5. 09, states that “ I compliment and reward my child

when he finishes school works” ranked first among the items in Authoritative Parenting style.,

Meanwhile, item number one (1) placed last with the mean of 4. 17 states that “I take my child’s

wishes and consideration before I ask him to do his schoolwork”

Based on the data gathered, results imply that the Parents employ Authoritative Parenting

styles in how they assist their children in doing their school work in this time of the pandemic.

They compliment their child when they finish their school works, understand that students struggle

to do school works and encourage them to do better.

The results are connected to the research study of Jerf Wk Yeung, Chau-Kiu Cheung, Sylvia

YCL Kwok, and Janet TY Leung (2016) that authoritative parenting provided by the parents and

received by the child offers support and demand to socialize the child, possibly in terms of the

performance of taking other’s perspective and self-esteem. In the U.S and Australia, authoritative

parents were very likely to emphasize certain democratic practices, like taking a child’s

xviii
preferences into account when making family plans or encouraging a child to express his or her

own opinions. (Robinson et al 1997).

Moreover, Authoritative Parents made it a point to reason with their children and when their

children misbehaved, they talked with them and explained the reasons for the rules. (Robinson et

al 1997). Because of that research suggest that having a least one authoritative parents can make a

big difference ( Fletcher et al 1999).

1.2 Authoritarian Parenting

Table 1.2 below shows the mean level of agreement of Parents of Grade 1 pupils of Juan

Morente Sr. Memorial Pilot School S. Y. 2020-2021 in terms of Authoritarian Parenting Style.

The data shows that the respondents strongly agree on the Authoritative Parenting styles which

were evident in its overall mean of 4.78

Item number one (1) with the mean of 5. 11, states that “ Whenever I tell my child to study,

I expect him to do it immediately without any question” ranked first among the items in

Authoritarian Parenting style. Meanwhile, item number two (2) landed last with the mean of

4. 54 which states that “I remind my child the possible consequences of not studying”

Based on the data gathered, results show that the respondents employ the Authoritarian

Parenting style at home which is higher than the overall mean of authoritative parenting style.

Authoritarian Parenting is extremely strict. Parents expect children to follow rules with no

discussion or compromising which is evident that item number one (1) ranked first. Parents

expect their children to follow instructions quickly.

The results are connected to the research study of M.H Bornstein and D. Zlotnik, in

Encyclopedia of infant and early child development (2008) which states that the effects of

authoritarian parenting are less positive than an authoritative upbringing. The authoritarian

Parenting style focuses on imposing authority on children without any exception. Authoritarian

Parents may use punishments instead of discipline. On the other hand, children who grow up

with authoritarian parents are often the most well-behaved kids in the room. Another is that

Authoritarian parenting places a strong emphasis on rules which results in children having a

good understanding of what is and isn’t acceptable (Christin Perry, 2019).

5. When it’s time to study I put aside the things that 4.54 5 Strongly Agree

could distract my child ( gadgets toys, tv, )

Overall Mean 4.78 Strongly Agree

1.3 Permissive Parenting

Table 1.3 below shows the mean level of agreement of Parents of Grade 1 pupils from

Juan Morente Sr. Memorial Pilot School S. Y. 2020-2021 in terms of Permissive Parenting

Style. The data shows that the respondents sometimes agree on the Permissive Parenting styles

which were evident in its overall mean of 3.19.

xxi
 Item number one (1) with the mean of 4.11, which states that “I let my child do his schoolwork”

ranked first among the items in Permissive Parenting style. Meanwhile, item number four (4)

landed last with the mean of 1.86 which states that “I allow my child to use gadgets when doing

school works”

Based on the data gathered, results show that the respondents often/ sometimes disagree on the

Permissive Parenting style at home. Parents let their children do their school works. Permissive

parents tend to be very loving, yet provide few guidelines and rules. According to Baumrind,

Permissive parents are more responsive than they are demanding. They are traditional and lenient,

do not require mature behavior, allow considerable self-regulation and avoid confrontation. These

parents do not expect mature behavior from their children and often seem more like a friend than

a parental figure.

The results are connected to the research study of Julie Rutledge and Taren Swindle (2016)

which states that permissive parents rarely use any disciplinary techniques and often avoid

confrontation and children from permissive homes are more likely to underachieve in academic

settings and increased rates of future delinquent behaviors. Permissive parents are those who are

afraid to set limits on children or believes a child has been true to his or her nature (Tracy Trautner,

Michigan State University Extension, 2017)

1.4 Neglectful Parenting

Table 1.4 below shows the mean level of agreement of Parents of Grade 1 pupils from Juan

Morente Sr. Memorial Pilot School S. Y. 2020-2021 in terms of Neglectful Parenting Style.

The data shows that the respondents sometimes agree on the Permissive Parenting styles which

were evident in its overall mean of 2.76.

Item number one (1) with the mean of 3.83, which states that “I let my child do his

schoolwork” ranked first among the items in Neglectful Parenting style. Meanwhile, item

xxiii
 number five (5) landed last with the mean of 1.49 which states that “I have other important

things to do to assist my child to do his schoolwork”

Based on the data gathered, results show that the respondents often/ sometimes disagree on

the Neglectful Parenting style at home. Neglectful parenting is the worst style among the four

types. Children of uninvolved parents receive little nurturing and guidance. According to

postpartum therapist Maddison Mejiome, uninvolved or neglectful parenting can range in

degree and can start very early.

 2. Pupils study habits in terms of:

2.1 Health Habits

Table 2.1 below shows the mean level of agreement of Grade 1 pupils from Juan Morente

Sr. Memorial Pilot School S. Y. 2020-2021 in their study habits in terms of Healthy Habits.

The data shows that the respondents sometimes agree on the Healthy Habits which was evident

in its overall mean of 4.05.

Item number five (5) with the mean of 4.69, which states that “My parents give me healthy

food before and after doing school works” ranked first among the items in Healthy Habits.

Meanwhile, item number three (3) landed last with the mean of 3.11 which states that “I do

physical exercise (walking, running, swimming, biking) for at least 4 times a week with my

parents”

Based on the data gathered, results show that the respondents often/sometimes agree on healthy

habits. The table below shows that they sometimes agree on items number four and five. There are

reasons why it has landed on a lower rank. Pupils could not do physical exercise at least four times

a week with their parents is because of the pandemic that resulted in lockdown in which children

were not allowed to go outside and do these physical activities. On the other hand, pupils stated

that their parents give them healthy food before and after doing school works which will help them

to have a healthy body despite not being able to do physical exercises.

According to the study of Norman Anderssen, Bente Wold, and Torbjon Trosheim (2006)

Parents are believed to play a role in influencing their children’s health behavior and habits.

Because parents are the role model whom children look up to. The Health Behavior theory

implicates a better understanding of health behavior and interventions to improve the public health

xxv
of individuals. Children should have a proper understanding of the importance of health habits at

a young age.

 2.2 Time Management

Table 2.2 below shows the mean of the level of agreement of Grade 1 pupils from Juan

Morente Sr. Memorial Pilot School S. Y. 2020-2021 in their study habits in terms of Time

Management. The data shows that the respondents agree on time management which was evident

in its overall mean of 4.41.

Item number three (3) with the mean of 4.57, which states that “I spend more time on difficult

subjects” ranked first among the items in Time Management. Meanwhile, item number two (2)

landed last with the mean of 4.26 which states that “I extend my study time to avoid cramming

and delay”.

Based on the data gathered, results show that the respondents agree on study habits in terms of

time management. The table below shows that pupils spend more time on difficult subjects but

does not extend their time to avoid cramming and delay. And their parents help them review each

week for upcoming assignments.

2.3 Attitude

Table 2.3 below shows the mean level of agreement of Grade 1 pupils from Juan Morente Sr.

Memorial Pilot School S. Y. 2020-2021 in their study habits in terms of Attitude. The data shows

that the respondents strongly agree on the Attitude which was evident in its overall mean of 4.55.

Item number five (5) with the mean of 4.71, which states that “My parents encourage me to do

my best in studying” ranked first among the items in Study habits in terms of attitude. Meanwhile,

item number two (2) landed last with the mean of 4.29 which states that “I like doing the school

works with the assistance of my parents”.

Based on the data gathered, results show that the respondents Strongly agree on study habits

in terms of Attitude. The table below shows that pupils are encouraged by their parents when

studying and receive compliments when they finish school works however pupils stated agree that

they like doing school works with the assistance of their parents. There are reasons why item

number two (2) ranked last. Parents have different parenting styles and authoritarian parenting

xxviii
ranked first in the survey made on the parents of these pupils and that may be the reason why

pupils only stated agree in making school works with their parents.
