Rationale
As indicated by Albert (2002) research has provided important insights into the complex
link between parental expectations and academic performance. For instance, research has
shown that children perform better academically when their parents have reasonable
expectations and show them love, support, and open communication. On the other hand, a
lack of support and unreasonably high expectations for kids can have a negative impact on
their well-being and academic progress.
Overall, looking into the relationship between performing academically and meeting
family expectations helps us comprehend the varied nature of educational success and the
significance of parental influence. It emphasizes the significance of creating a nurturing,
supporting environment that fosters children's academic performance as well as their overall
wellbeing.
Theoretical Framework
According to Albert (1960), Modeling theory, also known as social learning theory or
observational learning theory, is a psychological concept that suggests individuals learn by
observing and imitating the behaviors, attitudes, and emotional reactions of others. Proposed
by psychologist Albert Bandura in the 1960s, modeling theory emphasizes the role of social
interactions and observational learning in shaping human behavior.

As stated by Albert, Modeling theory refers to a framework or set of principles that guide
the process of constructing and using models in various disciplines. Models are simplified
representations of complex systems or phenomena, designed to help us understand, analyze,
and predict their behavior. Modeling theory provides a systematic approach to creating and
using these models effectively.
Studies are limited where Modeling theory is applicable across various disciplines,
including physics, engineering, economics, social sciences, and environmental sciences. It
provides a framework for researchers and practitioners to conceptualize, develop, and analyze
models, enhancing our understanding of complex systems and facilitating decision-making
processes.
Conceptual Framework
Based on this conceptual framework, the study aims to examine the impact of parental
expectations on students' academic performance, with self-efficacy serving as a mediating

variable. The self-efficacy enhancement program is hypothesized to strengthen students'
self-beliefs and, in turn, positively influence their academic performance.
The moderating variables of parental support and school support may influence the
relationship between parental expectations, self-efficacy, and academic performance. The
study can employ quantitative measures such as surveys, questionnaires, and academic
performance data to collect relevant data from students, parents, and teachers. Statistical
analyses, such as regression or path analysis, can be used to explore the relationships and
interactions among the variables in the conceptual framework, providing insights into the
effectiveness of the self-efficacy enhancement program and the role of parental and school
support in shaping students' academic outcomes.
Statement of the Problem
This study aims that Parents play a significant role in shaping their children's academic
success and future prospects. They often have high expectations for their children's academic
achievements, aiming to provide them with opportunities for a better future. However, the
pressure to live up to these expectations can have both positive and negative effects on
students' academic performance and overall well-being. This statement of the problem seeks to
explore the complex relationship between parental expectations and academic performance,
identifying the challenges students face and the potential impact on their educational
outcomes.
2. How do students respond to the pressure of parental expectations in terms of study habits,
time management, and academic engagement?
3. What role can schools, educators, and policymakers play in creating a supportive
environment that balances parental expectations with student well-being?

The study will adopt a mixed-methods approach, with limited sources and scope, this
study was bound to achieve its goals with the help of 10 respondents of Senior High School
from First City Providential College, located at Barangay Narra, Francisco Homes, City of San
Jose Del Monte, Bulacan. The online/in-person survey/interview was conducted last June
2023.
Participants will include students from diverse backgrounds, with parents. The
quantitative survey will assess students' self-efficacy beliefs, perceived parental expectations,
and academic performance. The qualitative interviews will delve deeper into the lived
experiences of students, exploring the influence of parental expectations on their self-efficacy
and academic performance.
Students. Students will gain the most from this research more than anybody else since
it focuses on how individuals think, and students are known to be the people who use their
thinking the most. This study will shed light on the potential stressors associated with parental
expectations and how they influence students' self-efficacy and motivation. By identifying the
challenges students face, educators, parents, and policymakers can develop targeted
interventions and support systems to promote student well-being and mitigate the negative
effects of excessive pressure.
Teachers. Teachers are the core of our learning. Therefore, they think as much as how
students do. To provide knowledge to the students they are teaching, they should first know
how to handle themselves as they plan, monitor, evaluate, and instruct. and implement
strategies to educate parents about the potential consequences of unrealistic expectations and
provide resources to support students' well-being. Educators can incorporate self-efficacy
enhancement techniques into their teaching practices, fostering a positive and supportive
learning environment.

Parents. The findings of this study will provide valuable information for parents, helping
them understand the potential consequences of unrealistic or excessive expectations. By
increasing parental awareness, parents can adjust their expectations and adopt more
supportive approaches that promote their child's self-efficacy and overall academic
performance. This study can bridge the gap between research and practice, providing
evidence-based recommendations to guide parents in nurturing their children's educational
development.
Future Researchers. Future researchers will gain the greatest number of benefits in
this study; This study will serve as a foundation for further research and exploration into related
topics, such as the role of cultural influences, the effectiveness of interventions, and long-term
outcomes of students who have experienced parental pressure. The study's findings will
advance the academic field by providing a comprehensive understanding of the complex
dynamics between parental expectations and academic performance.
Definition of Terms
The following terms were defined operationally.
Modeling theory. This refers to the idea that changes in behavior, cognition, or
emotional state result from observing someone else’s behavior or the consequences of that
behavior. See observational learning; social learning theory.
Self-efficacy beliefs. This refers to an individual's belief in his or her capacity to execute
behaviors necessary to produce specific performance attainments.

Zimmerman and Kitsantas (1997) developed a self-efficacy intervention program that
included goal setting, self-monitoring, and self-reflection exercises.
Eccles and Harold (1996) emphasized the importance of school and teacher support in
buffering the negative effects of parental pressure on students' academic motivation and
performance. A study by González-Cabanach and colleagues (2017) highlighted the positive
influence of teacher support on students' self-efficacy and academic engagement, providing a
counterbalance to parental expectations.
In conclusion, the literature and studies demonstrate that parental expectations significantly
influence students' self-efficacy beliefs and academic performance. Excessive parental
pressure can have negative effects on students' well-being and undermine their self-efficacy.
However, self-efficacy enhancement programs and supportive environments, including school
and teacher support, can mitigate the negative impact of parental expectations and foster
positive academic outcomes. The review underscores the need for interventions that empower
students to navigate parental expectations effectively while maintaining their well-being and
fostering their self-beliefs.
Research Literature
Data consisting of professional literature and research studies particularly taken from
peer-reviewed materials accessed online were presented and highlighted in this part of the
