Role of parent-teacher partnership in learners’ academic performance
Raquel Luna & Jasper Del Valle
Abstract
This study was purposely conducted to develop a parent-teacher partnership program to improve learners’ academic performance in English 4 by determining learners’ academic performance, perception of the parent-child relationship, and on parental involvement in six categories as to parenting, communicating, volunteering, learning at home, decision-making, and collaborating with the community. Descriptive research design was utilized through survey method wherein 24 Grade IV learners under modular distance learning modality were purposively selected as respondents. Learners’ perception on parent-child relationship showed positive relationship, while learners’ perception on parental involvement in six categories indicated high involvement. Results showed a significant relationship between the parent-child relationship and parental involvement. However, there is no significant relationship between academic performance in English on their perception of the parent-child relationship and parental involvement. The study suggested that Parent-Teacher Association officers along with teachers may conduct a classroom-based program to assist learners at risk in English. Teachers may also review the parent-teacher partnership program so that it will be aligned with the learning needs of their students.
