The document discusses the importance of parental involvement in a student's academic performance. It begins by outlining how education benefits society and that parents play a key role in socializing children to become productive members. The theoretical framework discusses social cognitive theory and how children learn behaviors from parents. Research has shown parental involvement is linked to higher achievement and that factors like parents' educational expectations and support with homework positively influence performance. The study aims to determine the level of influence of family-related factors like parents' learning support on students in different curriculums and between males and females at Tangub City National High School.

- 1. Chapter 1 Introduction Background of the Study Education is essential for the development of society. The more educated the people of a society are, the more civilized and well disciplined the society will be (Chowa, G., Masa, R., & Tucker, J., 2013). Mainly, family has a responsibility to socialize children for making them productive members of a society. The more the parents involve in the process of imparting education to their children, the more the children might excel in their academic career and to become productive and responsible members of society. The academic achievement of students may not only depend on the quality of schools and the teacher, rather on the extent of parent involvement has a vital role to play in it. According to Adewumi Moradeke Grace, Olojo oloudare Jethro, and Falemu Funke Aina (2012), stated that parent has vital roles to play in the life of a child. Parenting involvement is a catch-all term for many different activities including home, good parenting, helping home work, talking to teachers, attending school functions, through to talking part in school governance. When schools work together with families to support learning, children tend to succeed not just in schools but throughout their lives. According to these researchers, the most accurate prediction of a students’ achievement in school is not the income nor the social status, but the extent to which the students’ parent is able to create a home environment that encourages learning and to express high expectations for their children’s achievement and future careers. Parental involvement in school has been linked with academic achievement. Previous researchers stated that parental involvement has a powerful impact on the children’s attainment. The impact of parental involvement arises from parental values and educational aspirations and that these are exhibited continuously through parental enthusiasm and positive parenting style. In this new study, the researchers will determine the level of influence of family-related factor in terms of parents’ learning support. This study will also determine if there is a significant difference between the levels of influence of family-related factors in terms of sex and the curriculum in which the a student belongs.
- 2. Tangub City National High School is a school that has a large number of student population. Each year level consists of Science Curriculum, Regular Curriculum and Sports Curriculum. This study will investigate the level of influence of family-related factor to the fourth year students in Sports section and in Science curriculum. This study will also investigate if there is a significant difference of the level of influence of family-related factor between male students and female students, as well as the sports curriculum and Science curriculum. Theoretical Framework The level of parental involvement has an important implication for children’s academic performance. Social Cognitive theory suggests that youth absorb messages about appropriate behavior in their lives (Bandura, 1977) as cited by Chowa, G. N., Masa, R. D., & Tucker J., in 2013. Based on this assumption, parents have the potential to model positive attitudes and behaviors toward school, and researches in developed countries such as United States have shown that parental involvement contributes to youth academic success (Fan & Chen, 2001; Houltenville & Conway, 2008; Jeynes, 2003, 2007) as cited by Khan, R. M., & Chohan, B. I., in 2010. In fact, children are more likely to perform better in school when their parents show an interest in their school work. Particularly, when their parents are willing to assist them with their homework, and are willing to hold their children accountable for completion of school assignments. Youth who are not working hard at school may begin to perceive as valuable when parents actively demonstrate that they value school through involvement. As cited by Berthelsen D. & Walker S. in 2008 (Henderson & Mapp, 2002) added that when schools and families work together, children have higher achievement in school and stay in school longer. Engaging families in the education of their children at home and in school is increasingly viewed as an important means to support better learning outcomes for children. As cited by Khan, R. M., & Chohan, B. I., in 2010 (Fan, 2001) mentioned that parent’s educational aspiration for their children proved to be strongly related to students’ growth. Research studies have found that parental educational level has a significant impact on child’s learning. (Khan & Malik, 1999). Similarly, Schneider and Lee (1990) linked the academic success of the East Asian students to the values and aspirations they share with their parents, and
- 3. to the home learning activities in which their parents involve with them. In fact, all parents have desired to do something better for their children according to their available resources. Gonzalez-Pienda et al. (2002) as cited by Khan, R. M., & Chohan, B. I., in 2010 stated that parental support criteria were developed according to six dimensions that are strongly associated to students’ behaviors at school and the attitude towards learning. “The six dimensions are (a) parents’ expectations about their children’s’ achievement, (b) parents’ expectations about their children’s capacity to achieve important goals, (c) parents’ behaviors that reveal interest in their children’s school work, (d) parents’ degree of satisfaction or dissatisfaction with their children’s level of school achievement, (e) parents’ level and type of help provided when their children do homework, and (f) parents’ reinforcement behaviors of their children’s achievements.” The influence of parents on children school achievement is well documented in numerous studies. As cited by Chowa, G. N., Masa, R.D., & Tucker J., in 2013 (Gadsden 2003) said that greater parental involvement at early stage in children’s learning, positively affects the child’s school performance including higher academic achievement. Harderves (1998) reviewed that family whose children are doing well in school exhibit the following characters: Establish a daily family routine by providing time and a quite place to study with the children and assigning responsibility for house hold chores. Monitor out-of-school activities, for example setting limits on television watching, reduce time of playing, monitor the groups of friends the pupils walk with. Encourage children’s development and progress in school; that is maintaining a worm and supportive home, showing interest in children’s progress at school, helping him or her with home work, discussing the value of a good education and future career with children.
