Abstract:

This study aimed to determine the relationship between the extent of teachers' engagement and the level of parental support to children's academic activities in Impasug-ong I District, Division of Bukidnon, for the school year 2022-2023. The major inferences drawn from the data collected are as follows: There was a large extent of teachers' engagement in children's academic activities in terms of academic support, resource provider, learning partner, coach/mentor, and health protector. There was a high level of parental support to children's academic activities in terms of academic support, resource provider, learning partner, coach/mentor, and health protector in the Impasug-ong I district for the school year 2022-2023. There was no significant relationship between the extent of teachers' engagement and the level of parental support to children's academic activities in Impasug-ong I District, Division of Bukidnon, for the school year 2022-2023. School heads may enhance the extent of teachers' engagement in children's academic activities from a large to a very large extent in terms of academic support, resource provider, learning partner, coach/mentor, and health protector. School heads may opt to encourage teachers to have an innovation that will create a program wherein the teacher-parent relationship is strengthened, and by doing so, learners will benefit from their engaging teacher and a very supportive parent. The school heads can do this with little monitoring and supervision. Teachers may enhance the high level of parental support to children's academic activities in terms of academic support, resource provider, learning partner, coach/mentor, and health protector in Impasug-ong I district for the school year 2022-2023 by keeping in touch with the parents and communicating with them consistently. Teachers may also let parents be involved in programs, projects, and activities that require parents' support and be positive in recognizing active parents for every school year. DepEd Officials also strengthen the large extent of teachers' engagement and improve the high level of parental support to children's academic activities in Impasug-ong I District, Division of Bukidnon, for the school year 2022-2023 by continuing to provide monitoring, supervision, and checking of teachers and school heads output or accomplishments. Future researchers may enhance this study by giving much attention to the sampling procedure he will administer and the respondents.
