Level Of Parental Involvement as A Predictor of Academic Achievement and School Adjustment

Abstract

Children at pre-school, as well as their parents, stand to profit from their parents' participation. This was demonstrated through a study that looked into the extent of parental involvement that mother parents have in their children's educational experiences. This research was carried out in Tuguegarao City at a number of different private and public preschools, with the participation of mother parents in direct participation. In particular, it determined the profile of mother parents, their level of engagement, and the substantial variations between the levels of involvement that mother parents had in relation to their children's academic accomplishment and their ability to adapt to school. This study, which took a descriptive approach, came to the conclusion that the majority of the parents had at least a bachelor's degree and that they placed a strong emphasis on maintaining open lines of communication between themselves and their children's teachers, actively participating in extracurricular activities, and providing support for their children's education at home. Children benefit in a variety of ways from their parents' active participation in their lives. In the formative years of their lives, the lessons that they receive from their parents, and in particular from their mothers, have an impact on the lives that they go on to lead. Learning at home receives a very strong amount of support from mothers. They participate in the activities of their preschoolers' schools to a very significant degree. When compared with non-professional parents, professional parents have a very different level of involvement in their children's education. Women in professional roles have a participation rate that is noticeably greater than that of their peers. If parents want their children to improve their academic performance and their social adjustment, it is recommended that they increase the frequency of contact or communication they have with the teachers of their children, that they take an active role in participating in the extracurricular activities that their children are involved in at school, and that they provide more support for learning at home.
