Stakeholders’ Engagement and School Performance: Basis for a Proposed School-Community Partnership Program

Marilyn N. Sison | Helen C. Fuentes

Discipline: education and teaching

 

Abstract:

This study investigated the relationship between stakeholders' engage-ment and school performance, focusing on elementary schools in the Schools Division of Borongan City. The specific objectives were to de-termine the extent of stakeholder involvement in instructional, physi-cal, and values development; evaluate the performance of respondent schools in terms of student achievement, school awards and recogni-tion, and School-Based Management (SBM) level of practice. Utilizing a descriptive-correlational research design, data were gathered through survey questionnaires adapted and analyzed the prevailing conditions and cause-effect relationships. The study involved elementary school heads and SBM coordinators, who were selected via purposive sam-pling through total enumeration. Findings indicated active stakeholder engagement across instructional, physical, and values development ar-eas. Among the 40 respondent schools, 47.5% were classified as very satisfactory and 52.5% as satisfactory in student achievement. Addi-tionally, 50% of schools excelled in awards and recognition, 45% were moderately performing, and 5% were not performing. At the SBM level of practice, 95% were classified as progressive, with only 5% at the ma-ture level. Statistical analysis revealed that student achievement and SBM level of practice were not significantly related to stakeholder en-gagement, with p-values of .315 and .715, respectively. However, a sig-nificant relationship was found between stakeholder engagement and school awards and recognition, with a p-value of .045. These results underscore the importance of stakeholder engagement in enhancing certain aspects of school performance, particularly in achieving awards and recognition, highlighting areas where further improvements and strategies are needed to link engagement more directly with academic outcomes and SBM practices.
