Abstract

This study examined parental involvement and its relationship with the academic performance of Grade 2 pupils at Guindawahan Elementary School in Pio V. Corpus, Masbate. Specifically, it determined the demographic profile of the parents, assessed their level of involvement in terms of homework, parent-teacher conferences, learning materials, and support for school activities, described the academic performance of the pupils, and examined the relationships between parental involvement, family income, and academic performance. The study employed a quantitative descriptive-correlational research design. The respondents were parents or guardians of Grade 2 pupils who were selected through purposive sampling. Academic performance records were available for 30 pupils, while 19 parents or guardians completed the survey questionnaire; consequently, 19 matched parent-pupil cases were used for the correlational analyses. Data were gathered using a structured questionnaire adapted from a previously validated instrument. The questionnaire underwent expert validation and pilot testing, with an overall reliability coefficient exceeding 0.80. Frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, and Pearson Product-Moment Correlation were used in analyzing the data. Findings revealed that parents demonstrated generally high levels of involvement in their children's education. The pupils also demonstrated satisfactory to outstanding academic performance. However, parental involvement in homework, parent-teacher conferences, provision of learning materials, and support for school activities was not significantly related to pupils' academic performance. In contrast, family income showed a moderate positive and statistically significant relationship with academic performance. The findings suggest the need to strengthen home-school partnerships while providing additional educational support to families with limited socioeconomic resources.
