ABSTRACT

This study determined the significant relationship between the parental involvement, literacy and numeracy skills of Key Stage 2 learners in Concepcion Elementary School. A proposed Instructional Supervisory plan was formulated based on the result of the study. The study’s was chosen the descriptive-correlational design enables a methodical investigation of the associations between two crucial variables. The test of relationship between the parental involvement to the literacy and numeracy performance of the key stage 2 learners. On the analysis of the relationship between parental involvement and literacy performance indicates a strong positive correlation. Since the computed 𝑡 t value exceeds the table value, we reject the null hypothesis (Ho), suggesting that there is a significant relationship between parental involvement and literacy performance among key stage learners. This strong correlation implies that as parental engagement increases, so does the literacy performance of students. In the context of numeracy performance, the results also indicate a strong positive correlation. Given that the computed 𝑡 value exceeds the table value, we reject the null hypothesis (Ho) in this case as well, affirming a significant relationship between parental involvement and numeracy performance. This strong correlation suggests that increased parental engagement is closely associated with better mathematical outcomes for students. The results in table 4 implied that the relationships identified between parental involvement and both literacy and numeracy performance underscore the necessity for schools to promote strategies that foster parental engagement. Initiatives such as workshops aimed at educating parents on effective literacy and numeracy support techniques can lead to improved academic outcomes. Furthermore, creating regular communication channels between parents and teachers can facilitate a collaborative approach to education, allowing for continuous feedback and support. In addition, schools should consider developing programs that encourage parental participation in classroom activities and homework assistance. The strong correlations between parental involvement and both literacy and numeracy performance underscore the importance of engaging families in the educational process. By fostering parental participation and collaboration, educational institutions can create a more supportive learning environment that promotes academic success and lifelong learning for students.
