4Ps Parents’ Involvement and Pupils’ Academic Performance: Basis for Intervention Plan

Parents have greatly influenced the overall development of children. This study set out to evaluate the degree of parents’ participation among beneficiaries of 4Ps program and the correlation between it and their academic performance. Academic performance of students is the dependent variable, while parents’ involvement in parenting, communication, volunteering, at-home learning, decision-making, and community collaboration are the independent variables. This study was conducted at Villanueva South District, Villanueva Misamis Oriental. It employed a descriptive-correlational study design with documentary analysis. Respondents were selected through stratified random sampling. An adapted and modified questionnaire was used. Descriptive and inferential statistical tools like frequency and percentage, mean and standard deviation, and Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient were utilized to analyze and interpret the collected data. Results revealed that 4Ps parents are partially involved. The pupils’ academic performance is at satisfactory level. Parents’ involvement and pupils’ academic performance are significantly correlated. Thus, if parents are greatly involved with their children’s affairs including studies, it would increase the pupils’ academic performance. This calls for continued parents’ involvement by strengthening collaboration with teachers to support pupils’ academic performance and track their pupils’ learning activities at school and home.
