Parent-School-Community Involvement in the Academic Performance of Senior High School Students-GAS (Grade 11 and 12) in One Public High School in the New Normal: Towards Project ISLA

Abstract

COVID-19 Pandemic brought changes to the country’s educational system. For education to continue, distance learning was implemented as the learning modality in the country. This abrupt change in the learning modality posed challenge to parents, school, and community involvement in the continuous learning of the students. This study aimed to find out the level of involvement of parents, school, and community in the academic performance of senior high school students- General Academic Strand (Grade 11 and 12). This determined if there is a significant relationship between the involvement of parents, school, and community and the students’ academic performance. This leads to the development of an involvement plan to increase involvement among parents, schools, and the community. The study used a quantitative research design employing a descriptive type of research using constructed checklist-type of questionnaire as the main instrument. Multiple-item tests in line with the most essential competencies were used to measure the academic performance of the students. Respondents were chosen purposively including 56 Grade 11-GAS and 17 Grade 12-GAS students of Jomalig National High School. Gathered data were subjected to weighted arithmetic mean and person-r correlation. The level of involvement of school, parent, and community involvement in the academic performance of the student's GAS (Grade 11 and 12) revealed a computed average mean of 2.81, 2.65, and 2.66 which falls under the interpretation of often. The data revealed a computed r-value for school, parents, and community involvement in the academic performance of students of 0.15, 0.25, and 0.24 respectively, with a p-value of 0.00 at a 0.05 level of significance showing that there is a significant relationship among the three involved in the academic performance of the respondents. The study recommended that a follow-up study implementing the developed project can be employed for the next study.
