ABSTRACT

What’s the most accurate predictor of academic achievement? It’s not socioeconomic status, nor how prestigious the school is that a child attend. The best predictor of student success is the extent to which families encourage learning at home and involve themselves in their child’s education (3). When parents are engaged in their children’s school lives, students have the home support and knowledge they need to finish their assignments and develop a lifelong love of learning. Teachers who focus on parent engagement often see a profound change in the learning of their children. The more parents involved in their children’s education, the better their entire learning motivation, behavior, and grades become. During this time of pandemic where school personnel›s health status is at stake, the Department of Education initiates in adopting distance learning education utilizing the modular distance learning modality of which pupils had to learn their lessons at home with their parents as learning facilitators. Here the parents’ involvement is important in order for their children to attain positive learning outcome. Thus, this study was crafted to determine the relationship between the extent of parents’ involvement in implementing modular distance learning modality and academic performance of the grade V pupils in English. It was revealed in this study that there is significant relationship between the extent of parents’ involvement in the implementation of modular distance learning modality and academic performance of the grade V pupils in English. High extent of parents’ involvement results to a very satisfactory academic performance. The Proposed Improvement Plan to improve the parents’ involvement to improve the Grade V pupils’ academic performance in English is recommended.
