THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND
Effects of Parental Involvement in the Academic Performance of Grade 12
Students
Introduction
Teachers, administrators, and policy makers have acknowledged the effects of
Parental Involvement on students’ academic performance and consider it as a crucial
component of new educational reforms and initiatives. Some studies reveal that
parental involvement can have a good or bad effects on a child, including their
academic performance. Parental Involvement refers to parents’ participation in their
child’s activities or work at home, school, and more. This involvement can take in
many forms. Such as helping their children with homework, school projects, attending
school events like parents’ conference, and more. Parental Involvement includes a
wide range of attitudes and behaviors but generally refers to parents’ and the families
use of money or investments to provide resources for their child’s needs for school.
Parents are children first educators and have an opportunity to child’s growth
and can also act as an advocate for education. According to a study, students with two
parents operating in supporting roles are more likely to enjoy school and get high
grades than students whose parents are disengaged with what is happening at school
and get high grades than students whose parents are disengaged with what is
happening to their child in school.
Parental involvement is or was said to be proven important to a family. The
competence of the parents to give attention and care varies and can affect children.
Raising awareness and informing parents, teachers, and even the students about the
effects of parental involvement on a student’s academic performance can be helpful to
assessing their children. The researchers analyzed the impact of parental involvement
on students’ academic performance in this study. This study was conducted to
evaluate the relationship between parental involvement on students’ academic
performance in school. This could benefit students, teachers, and parents by informing
and making them aware of the effects and benefits of parental involvement in Grade
12 students.
Background of the Study
In recent years, parental involvement has been widely accepted as the key to
improving children’s academic performance and is expected in good parenting.
Teachers often engage parents through the school curriculum. It is common to see
“parents’ help needed” in school projects that their child has. Parental Involvement is
expected in successful parenting and therefore, generally recognized as essential to
raising academically successful children. Starting in the early 1880s, parents and the
community had a massive impact on what the schools did. During this relocation,
students’ coursework improved in nations that their parents and neighbors we’re
unfamiliar with or had little knowledge of. Epstein (1987) discovered that schools
impact parents' engagement levels and that parents who wish to get involved are
unable to do so because they’re not allowed to communicate with the schools.
Due to cultural cognitions, parents may not have access to traditional
channels for influencing parents in a school. Harris and Goodall (2017); Goodall and
Montgomery (2014), considers parental involvement as active and meaningful
involvement in children's learning. Such learning can take in various settings
including early learning in schools and communities through family learning at home.
Parental involvement and support can benefit children of all ages on a developmental
level that goes beyond academics.
Theoretical Framework
This study is anchored to Epstein’s Model for Parental Involvement implies
that guardians who were informed and engrossed in their child’s activities can bring a
sanguinely impact on their child’s attitude and performance. Parental Involvement is
seen as an effective strategy and backed up by several studies about the subject with
the aching benefit of Parental Involvement can increase the academic performance of
students. The research on parental involvement references parents’ activities in
learning at a place, in school, and the community. Joyce Epstein, a research worker in
the field of parental involvement, identified and studied multiple steps of parental
involvement.
Schools can promote and endorse these community activities to show
parents the value and importance of these programs. There are also theories that associate parental involvement and the academic performance of children, such as the
sociological and psychological theory. Vygotsky’s sociocultural theory asserts that
learning is an essentially social process in which the support of parents, peers,
teachers, and the wider society and culture plays a crucial role in the development of
higher psychological functions.

The study entitled “Effects of Parental Involvement in the Academic
Performance of Grade 12 students” aims to find and know the effectiveness of
parental involvement theory to the academics of Grade 12 students. Specifically,
sought to answer the following questions:
1. What is the profile of the respondents in terms of:
A. Sex B. Age C. Section D. Strand E. Parent’s Educational Attainment
2. What is the perception of the respondents about parental involvement in terms
of:
A. Participation in Parents’ Conference
B. Guidance and Support at Home
Is there a significant effect of Parental Involvement to the academic
performance of the students?
3. Is there a significant effect
4. student? 5. Is there a significant effect of parental involvement to the participation in school activities of the students?
Hypotheses
After the careful study, this hypothesis will be considered:
1.) There is a significant effect of parental involvement to the academic
performance of Grade 12 students. 1. There is a significant effect of parental involvement to the academic performance of Grade 12 students.
2. There is a significant effect of parental involvement to the participation in
school activities of Grade 12 students.
Scope and Delimitation of the Study
This study covers the effects of Parental Involvement in the academic
performance of Grade 12 students and it will utilize fifty (50) Grade 12 Senior High
School students from Felix Amante Senior High School as the respondents of this
study. This study will last from December 2022 to May 2023.
Significance of the Study
This study is deemed important to the following:
Students. This study will reveal the effects of parental involvement to the academic performance of students. It will give realization to them that the involvement of parents to their academics have significant effects.
