THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN PARENTAL INVOLVEMENT AND STUDENTS’ ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT

Abstract

This study aimed to determine the relationship between parental involvement and students’ academic achievement. In addition, the purpose of this study was to determine the level of parental involvement and student academic achievement. To answer the research questions, descriptive mean analysis and Pearson Product Coefficient Correlation were used. The findings revealed that: (1) the level of parental involvement was 3.82, indicating frequent parental involvement; (2) the level of student academic achievement was 83.07, indicating good academic achievement; and (3) the p =.135 and r =.195, indicating that there is no significant correlation between parental involvement and student academic achievement; however, the correlation was found to be positive but only weakly. The researcher concluded that parental involvement is not a significant factor that has a relationship with student academic achievement. It is suggested that future researchers or teachers look for other factors that have a significant relationship on student academic achievement.
