Rationale
 Theterm parent-child relationship refers to
the unique and enduring bond between
a caregiver and his or her child. To
understand the parent-child relationship,
we must look at the ways that parents
and children interact with one another
physically, emotionally, and socially
(Schissel, 2017). This is the reason why The
researcher is interested to study about
parent-child relationship.
Rationale
It includes:
 parenting involvement of parents and
parenting styles affect the relationship
of students with their parents.
 Parents involvement in school
activities help boost the student’s self-
esteem knowing that their parents are
supporting them.
 parenting styles, contribute to the
students’ achievement.
Rationale
 RA 9155 “Governance of Basic Education
Act of 2001”
 Section 1.2 – The parents and the
community shall be encouraged for
active involvement in the education of
the child. The participation, coordination
between and among the schools, the
local school boards, the Parent-Teachers
Associations (PTAs) must be maximized.
Rationale
 Parental involvement is specifically mentioned
as a key to student achievement to
accommodate the varying needs of parents
through parental involvement, give parents
the opportunity to have a voice in the
educational decision-making process and
hold teachers accountable to high standards.
 Despite the government’s show of support
and a plethora of research suggesting
parental involvement improves student
achievement, the partnership between home
and school is weak.
Rationale
 The purpose of this research paper is to
study the effects of parental involvement
on student achievement.
 The relationship between students and
parents is affected by the parenting styles
practiced by parents. Baumrind (1966)
distinguished parenting styles as
identifying one as too hard, one as too
soft, and one as just right.
Rationale
 time parents spent with their children.
According to Parker and Wang (2013),
parents who think they spend the right
amount of time with their children are about
three times as likely as parents stating that
they spend little time with their children to say
their parenting job is excellent.
 Child Trends (2013) states that students with
parents that are involved in their school tend
to have better academic performance.
Rationale
 Baumrind (1966) came up with three
major parenting styles namely,
authoritarian, permissive, and
authoritative parenting. The authoritarian
parent is very strict and expects his/her
orders to be obeyed. They show low levels
of warmth and responsiveness. It means
that they are not attentive to their
children’s needs.
Conceptual Framework
Main Objective
 to study the effects of parental
involvement on student achievement. This
is followed by an examination of the
effects of parenting on student
achievement, educators’ perspectives on
parental involvement, communication
between home and school, and
problems in parental involvement
initiatives.
Specific Objectives
 Thisresearch study sought to find out:
 the students’ relationship with their
parents in terms of time students spend
with their parents;
 parents’ involvement in school.
 parents’ ways of discipline.
Research Methodology
 Descriptive – developmental type of
research is used in this study.
 Developmental research is employed to
recommend an action plan addressing
the weak areas identified in the study.
 questionnaire and personal interviews was
the main research instrument used to
gather the data
Findings of the Study
 The way students perform in school is
somehow influenced by their relationship with
their parents. The time spent with parents
allows the students to discuss the things they
do in school. Parents will understand better on
how their children perform in school if they set
quality time with them. Regular
communication between students and their
parents allow them both to solve the
problems that might affect the schooling of
the students.
Findings of the Study
 The profile of the students’ relationship with parents shows
that:
 2.1 Parents always spent their time with children when they
need to buy materials needed in the performance tasks
(30).
 2.2 Parents seldom get involved in the activities of the
school like PTA meetings, family day, participate in school
programs and get the report card of their children during
card distribution (30).
 2.3 Parents always discipline their children when they
watch TV or movie all the time (20).
 2.4 Parents seldom discipline their children when they do
social media like Facebook, Instagram or Twitter all the
time.
