The Importance of Parental Involvement in Academic Performance
As educators and researchers, understanding the factors that influence academic performance is essential to providing the support necessary for student success. One such factor that plays a significant role is parental involvement.
Parental involvement refers to the participation of parents in their children's education. It encompasses various activities, such as attending parent-teacher meetings, helping with homework, providing study materials, and encouraging educational discussions. The impact of parental involvement on academic performance has been widely studied and has consistently shown positive outcomes.
At Mataasnakahoy Senior High School, a survey was conducted to quantify the impact of parental involvement on the academic performance of Humss students. The survey aimed to determine the factors contributing to parental support deficits and identify possible interventions to promote parental involvement.
The survey questions covered various aspects related to parental involvement, such as the frequency of communication with parents, the support received from parents, and the perceived impact of parental involvement on academic performance. The students were also asked about any parental support deficits they may have experienced and the reasons contributing to such deficits.
The survey results revealed interesting insights. It was found that a significant percentage of senior high school students in Mataasnakahoy reported receiving parental support deficits in the past year. This highlights the need for targeted interventions to address these deficits and improve parental involvement.
The correlation analysis conducted between parental support deficits and academic achievement showed a negative correlation, suggesting that students who experienced parental support deficits had lower academic performance. This emphasizes the importance of parental involvement in supporting and enhancing student achievement.
The most common factors contributing to parental support deficits among senior high school students were identified as parents' busy work schedules, lack of understanding about school activities, lack of communication, lack of interest in the child's education, and financial constraints. These findings provide valuable insights for intervention strategies aimed at addressing these factors and fostering parental involvement.
Based on the survey results, it is evident that parental involvement plays a crucial role in the academic performance of Humss students. To improve parental involvement, suggestions included establishing more frequent communication channels, organizing parent seminars on academic involvement, assigning a parent coordinator at school, and encouraging parent-teacher partnerships.
In conclusion, this survey highlights the significance of parental involvement in shaping students' academic performance. By addressing parental support deficits and implementing effective interventions, schools can maximize parental involvement and create a conducive learning environment for students. The results of this survey can serve as a valuable resource for educators, policymakers, and parents alike, emphasizing the need for collaborative efforts to promote student success through parental involvement.
