Parental Involvement and Academic Performance of Education Students in a State University in the Philippines

The study is focused on investigating the Parental Involvement and Academic Performance of Education Students in a State University in the Philippines. The study utilizes a descriptive correlational method wherein it describes and seeks to find out if there is a significant relationship between the level of parental involvement and the academic performance of Education students. The study’s respondents are the Education students of Cebu Technological University – Naga Extension Campus. They were selected using simple random sampling. The administration of the questionnaire was done using the online platform. The study yielded that in terms of parental involvement, the students perceived that their parents are relatively involved with their schooling. Likewise, the education students enrolled in State universities are performing very well academically. Furthermore, the study also found a significant relationship between the level of parental involvement and the academic performance of the student. Thus, the more the parents are involved in the school life of their children, the better their academic performance. It is recommended school authorities should design programs and activities that would increase parents’ involvement in their children’s school life.
