Discipline: psychology (non-specific)

 

Abstract:

Child’s learning acquisition is greatly influence by parental involvement and mechanisms. Parental involvement is a multifaceted activity which represents many different parental behaviors and parenting practices such as parental aspiration for their child’s academic achievement, parental communication with their children about school, parental participation in school activities, parental communications with teachers about their child, and parental rules at home which are considered education related. Republic Act No. 9155 otherwise known as the Governance of Basic Education Act of 2001 under section 1.2 stated that the parents and the community shall be encouraged for active involvement in the education of the child. This study works on determining the relationship of parental involvement and mechanisms on child’s learning outcomes through the collection of data using survey questionnaire and utilization of descriptive correlational research design. Moreover, Pearson’s R was used in treating the data collected. It was revealed that a significant relationship among variables were observed however weak relationship between learning at home with creativity and presentation was determined. Moreover, indirect relationship between parental mechanisms and quarterly tests was revealed. Additionally, no significant relationship between learning outcomes and self-confidence was seen. Lastly, a weak to moderate significant relationship between self-confidence and parental involvement and parental mechanisms was exhibited. This led to the idea that variables have little to negative relationships especially parental mechanisms an quarterly scores results as well as learning outcomes and selfconfidence. Due to this, it is recommended that strong connection between parents and child should be established to strengthen and further increase the positive learning outcomes. Monitoring of student success in doing their work is also encouraged to be practiced by parents to build child support and confidence.
