Abstract :
When parents are actively engaged in their
children's education—through activities such as attending
school meetings, helping with homework, and fostering
educational aspirations—it often leads to improved
academic achievement. This paper aimed to establish
which domain of parental involvement shows significant
relationship with students’ academic achievement. Using
a standardized adopted questionnaire, the study surveyed
96 parents of college students enrolled in San Agustin
Institute of Technology through purposive sampling
procedure. The demographic profile revealed that most of
the parents were married (83.33%) and high school
graduates (43%). Additionally, in terms of family monthly
income, most parents earned below P10,000.00 ($171.84),
and a majority were farmers (34.46%). Regarding the
level of variables, parental involvement was high. In terms
of their children's academic achievement, most students
earned very good grades in both the 1st and 2nd
semesters. When the test of relationship was executed, it
was found that parental involvement is significantly
associated with academic achievement. This suggests that
parents’ involvement and support in their children's
academic endeavors are linked to higher academic grades,
particularly by enhancing children's learning in the home
environment and utilizing community services in school
programs. Thus, there is a need to intensify parents’
involvement in their children’s education, even at the
college level.
