 CHAPTER 1:

Background of the Study

Parental involvement in student's academic performance has been a topic of interest for many
years, with research indicating that parental involvement has a significant impact on student
success. However, several studies suggest that as student progress into higher levels of
education, such as high school, the level of parental involvement declines. This is a cause for
concern as high school is a crucial period for students to achieve academic success and prepare
for tertiary education.

The level of parental involvement in high school students' academic performance has far-reaching
implications for both individual students and society. Students with involved parents are more likely
to have higher grades, better attendance, and fewer behavioral problems. They are also more
likely to graduate from high school and attend college. Conversely, students with uninvolved
parents may struggle academically and may be less likely to achieve their educational goals.

Therefore, it is essential to examine the level of parental involvement in high school students'
academic performance. This study aims to address this gap in knowledge by investigating the
factors that influence parental involvement and its impact on academic achievement. The findings
of this study could provide insights into developing effective strategies for improving parental
involvement in high school students' academic performance.

In the Philippines, this area of research has gained a significant amount of attention in recent
years. The education system in the Philippines places a great deal of emphasis on the role of
parents in shaping the academic success of their children. This is largely because of the cultural
value Filipinos place on education and the strong connection between education and socio-
economic success.

Studies have shown that parental involvement has a positive impact on students' academic
performance, behaviour, and attitudes towards learning. In the Philippines, the extent of parental
involvement varies. Some parents are highly involved, attending school events, meetings,
volunteering in the classroom, and monitoring their children's academic progress. However, there
are also parents who are less involved for various reasons, including work or time constraints, lack
of awareness, or lack of interest.

The level of parental involvement in the Philippines has been analyzed through various factors,
such as socio-economic status, parents' educational attainment, and geographic location. Studies
found that parents' socio-economic status and educational attainment are significant predictors of
their level of involvement. Additionally, parents in urban areas tend to be more involved than those
in rural areas, which may be due to the greater availability of educational resources in urban
centres.

Overall, there is a need to continue studying parental involvement in the academic performance of
students in the Philippines to better understand the factors that influence this phenomenon. By
doing so, educators, policymakers, and parents can work together to develop effective strategies
to support parental involvement in education and ultimately improve the academic performance of
students.

Statement of the Problem

1. What is the Profile of respondents in terms of;

1.1 sex;

1.2 age;

1.3 parent’s work;

1.4 educational attainment of parents/guardian;

1.5 no. of siblings;

2. What is the level of parental involvement in the academic performance of the students?

Scope and Delimitation

The study focuses on the level of parental involvement in the academic performance of the
students of Rosario National High School in the academic year 2023-2024. A stratified random
sample of 171 students will be select to participate in the study. The study specifically aims to
identify the types of parental involvement, the level of involvement of parents, and the correlation
between parental involvement and academic performance (First quarter general average) of the
students.

Furthermore, the study is limited to the students of Rosario National High School only and does
not include other schools in the area. The study only considers the level of parental involvement in
terms of attendance of parents in parent-teacher meetings, participation in school activities,
monitoring of homework and academic progress of their children, and communication with
teachers. The study does not include other factors that may influence the academic performance
of the students, such as student motivation, teacher effectiveness, and school resources. The
study only considers parental involvement in relation to academic performance and does not
consider other aspects of students' development. The study is limited to the academic year 2023-
2024 only.

Significance of the Study

Students

Parental involvement has been consistently shown to positively impact student academic
performance. Students with involved parents tend to have higher grades, better attendance, and
are more likely to graduate from high school and attend college. Parental involvement can foster
intrinsic motivation and engagement in learning among students. When parents actively participate
in their children's education, students develop a deeper appreciation for the learning process,
leading to improved academic outcomes and a lifelong love of learning. Parental involvement can
contribute to a reduction in behavioral problems among students. When parents are actively
engaged in their children's education, they are better equipped to identify and address potential
issues early on, helping prevent behavioral difficulties from escalating and affecting academic
performance.

Parents

Parental involvement can strengthen the bond between parents and their children. By actively
participating in their children's education, parents gain a deeper understanding of their children's
interests, challenges, and aspirations, fostering open communication and a sense of connection.
Actively engaging in their children's education can boost parents' self-efficacy and confidence in
their ability to support their children's learning. This newfound confidence can empower parents to
advocate for their children's needs and become more involved in school activities. Parenting is a
demanding role, and parental involvement can provide parents with a renewed sense of fulfillment
and purpose. By actively contributing to their children's success, parents feel a sense of
accomplishment and satisfaction, enhancing their overall well-being.

Teachers

Parental involvement can foster open and effective communication between parents and teachers.
When parents are actively involved, teachers gain valuable insights into students' learning styles,
home environments, and potential challenges. This open communication allows for a more
collaborative and tailored approach to education. Parental involvement can share the responsibility
for student success and reduce the burden on teachers. When parents are actively engaged,
teachers can focus more on individual instruction and differentiated learning, enhancing the overall
quality of education. Parental involvement can provide teachers with much-needed support and
recognition for their efforts. When parents are actively engaged, teachers feel valued and
appreciated, boosting their morale and motivation.
School

Parental involvement can contribute to a more positive and supportive school climate and culture.
When parents are actively involved, they become stakeholders in the school's success, leading to
a sense of ownership and shared responsibility for student well-being. Parental involvement can
foster stronger ties between the school and the community. When parents are actively engaged,
the school becomes a hub for community engagement, fostering a sense of connection and
support for the school's mission. A school with high levels of parental involvement can gain a
positive reputation and enhance its standing within the community. This reputation can attract
more students and resources, further contributing to the school's success.

Future Researchers

The study of parental involvement in Rosario National High School can provide valuable insights
into effective strategies for enhancing parental engagement. Future researchers can draw upon
these findings to develop and refine best practices for promoting parental involvement in diverse
educational settings. The study can contribute to a deeper understanding of how cultural and
contextual factors influence parental involvement patterns. This understanding can inform future
research that aims to address the unique needs of different student populations and communities.
The findings of the study can guide the development of targeted intervention programs aimed at
enhancing parental involvement among specific groups of parents or students. These programs
can be tailored to address the identified barriers to parental engagement and promote positive
outcomes for students.

CHAPTER 2:

Review of Related Literature

An investigation led by Zhao, Wei, and Lin (2018) revealed that parental involvement in students'
academics and positive attitudes towards school were significantly correlated with students'
academic performance. The study emphasized the significance of parent-child communication
quality, parental academic control, and parental academic support.

Another study led by Agboola, Alabi, and Sodeinde (2020) found a positive link between parental
involvement and students' academic achievement. Their study revealed that parents who showed
interest in their children's education helped to improve their academic outcomes. They noted that
parental involvement enhances the students' academic growth process and serves as a motivation
for students to strive to excel academically.

A study led by Alcala and Uy (2020) discovered that high levels of parental involvement, such as
parent-teacher communication and supervision of homework, were associated with better
academic performance among high school students. The study also found that parental
involvement positively impacted students' attitudes towards learning, leading to improved
motivation and engagement in academic activities.

In 2021, Hussein, Ismail, and Sahari (2021) conducted a study that entitled the impact of parental
involvement on Grade 12 students' academic performance in East Malaysia. The results of the
study revealed that parental involvement significantly affected students' academic performance.
The authors found that parents who were more involved had children who scored higher on their
exams. The study concluded that parental involvement was a crucial factor in enhancing students'
academic performance.

Another study led by Alqahtani (2021) focused on Saudi Arabian high school students and their
parent's involvement. The results of the study showed that students whose parents were more
involved in their education had a significantly higher grade point average than those whose
parents were less involved. The study reported that the level of parental involvement had an
impact on both the students' academic achievement and their motivation towards learning.
Another study led by Tiamzon and Casalme (2018) evaluated the level of parental involvement
and its relationship to the academic performance of students in an elementary school in the
Philippines. The study found that parental involvement had a positive impact on student academic
performance.

The study conducted by Erlinda V. San Juan (2019) investigated the impact of parental
involvement on the academic performance of students in public elementary schools in the
Philippines. The study found that parental involvement has a significant positive impact on student
academic performance in both math and science. The authors also found that home-based
parental involvement, such as helping students with their homework and talking to them about their
studies, has a stronger impact on student academic performance than school-based parental
involvement, such as attending parent-teacher conferences and volunteering at the school.

In a study led by Daraug et al., (2020) the authors examined the effects of parental involvement on
the academic performance of Filipino students in the senior high school level. The study found that
high levels of parental involvement had a significant positive effect on student academic
achievement.

The study led by Jovit M. Delos Reyes and Ma. Theresa B. Mendoza (2020) highlighted that the
impact of parental involvement was stronger for students from low-income families. The study
found that parental involvement has a significant positive impact on student academic
performance. The authors also found that home-based parental involvement has a stronger
relationship with student academic performance than school-based parental involvement.

The study conducted by Jomar C. Aboy and Michael P. Ramos (2021) aimed to investigate the
relationship between parental involvement and academic performance of grade 12 students in the
Philippines. Their study found that there is a significant positive correlation between parental
involvement and student academic performance. The authors also found that home-based
parental involvement has a stronger relationship with student academic performance than school-
based parental involvement.
