Second, what is the level of learning task in TLE as to activity sheets; practical tests; and teacher-made assessments? Third, what is the level of academic performance of Grade 6 TLE learners as to 3rd quarter grade? Fourth, does parental involvement have a significant effect on the learning task in TLE of Grade 6 learners? And lastly, does parental involvement have a significant effect on the academic performance of Grade 6 learners? The respondents to the survey consisted of fifty-five (55) sixth graders and fifty-five (55) parents from Pagsawitan Elementary School in Santa Cruz County, Laguna, collecting the necessary information to answer the survey questions. The descriptive research method was used. Mean, standard deviation, frequency, and percentage have been utilized to measure the students? performance. Regression analysis was utilized to measure the effect between the independent and dependent variables. Based on the statistical treatment, the findings show that there is no significant effect on parental involvement in the learning task in TLE of Grade 6 learners. The overall mean of 88.00 indicates that the performance of the learners in the activities was very satisfactory. This means that based on the average academic performance in the 3rd quarter grade, learners were very competent. The findings show that learners' academic performance improved in the third quarter. It implies that parents successfully support and encourage their children to focus, and possess the proper discipline to handle their studies well, thus attaining high academic performance. From the findings above, it can infer that the results are all more than 0.05 level of significance, which implies that there is no significant effect between the parental involvement and the learning task in TLE in terms of activity sheets, practical tests, and teacher-made test also on the academic performance of the learners. The null hypothesis stating that ?The level of parental involvement has no significant effect on the learning task and academic performance in TLE of Grade 6 learners in Pagsawitan Elementary School? is accepted. Thus, this study recommends various courses of action that would serve to benefit the various stakeholders of education.
