SUMMARY, CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Summary
The study aimed to determine the parental upbringing of Grade V pupils in
Cangawa Elementary School, Buenavista, Bohol, School Year 2009 – 2010: It’s
relation to academic performance.
Specifically, it aimed to answer the following questions:
1. What is the profile of the parents of Grade V pupils in terms of:
1.1. Age
1.2. Occupation
1.3. Educational Attainment
1.4. Family Monthly Income
2. To what extent are the practices employed by parents in the upbringing of
their children in terms of:
2.1 Guidance
2.2 Discipline
2.3 Spirituality
xliii
3. Is there a significant relationship between the parental upbringing of the
Grade V pupils and their academic performance?
Thirty One Grade V pupils were the respondents of the study. The
questionnaire technique was employed by the researchers in gathering data with
the assistance of the class adviser.
The data gathered were subjected to statistical treatment using frequency
counts and simple percentage to determine the profile the of the respondents’
parents in terms of age, occupation, educational attainment and family monthly
income. It also used descriptive statistics and weighted mean to determine the
practices employed by the parents to their children in terms of guidance,
discipline and spirituality. To determine the relationship between parental
upbringing and the academic performance, Pearson – Product Moment
Correlation Test was used.
It was found out that there was a high significant relationship between the
parental upbringing and the academic performance of the pupils because the
respondents rated these practices as very good. Similarly, the academic
performance of the pupils was also very good. Hence, the statements were
parallel.
SUMMARY OF FINDINGS
xliv
1. The profile of the respondents’ parents revealed that the majorities of the
fathers were within age bracket of 44 – 46 years old and the mothers were
within the age bracket of 47 – 49 years old. Furthermore, the common
occupation of the fathers was farming and the mothers was housekeeping,
the educational attainment of the parents was in elementary level and the
average family income was 3,000 – 5,999.
2. Generally, the upbringing practices of parents to their child in terms of
guidance, some parents do not have a proper parental guidance with their
child because of lack of time, but in terms of discipline, parents are strict to
their child. Moreover, in the spirituality, some are good and religious
parents but some are poor in inculcating proper spiritual values that they
implement for the goodness of their child.
3. There is a high significant relationship between parental upbringing and
academic performance of Grade V pupils. The computed tr is 4.66, 29df
@ 5% is 2.045 and 29df @ 1% is 2.756.
CONCLUSIONS
xlv
Based on the problems presented and the findings arrived at, the
researchers came up with these conclusions.
1. The profile of the respondents’ parents reveals that the majorities of the
fathers are within the age bracket of 44 – 46 years old and the mothers
are within the age bracket of 47 – 49 years old. Furthermore, the common
occupation of the fathers is farming and the mothers is housekeeping. The
educational attainment of the parents is in elementary level and the
average family income is within the bracket of 3,000 – 5,999.
2. Generally, the upbringing practices of parent to their children in terms of
guidance, some parents of not have proper parental guidance with their
children because of lack of time, but in terms of discipline, parents are
strict. Moreover, in spirituality, some are good and religious parents but
some are poor in inculcating proper spiritual values that they implement
for the welfare of their child.
3. There is a high significant relationship between parental upbringing and
academic performance of Grade V pupils. Hence, the null hypothesis is
rejected.
RECOMMENDATIONS
xlvi
Based on the foregoing conclusions, the following recommendations are
hereby presented.
1. Parents should be encouraged to attend community conferences like
responsible parenthood for them to gain better understanding on their
ever, changing roles to their children. Moreover, they should strive hard to
find another source of income to provide the needs of their children (e.g.
hand wavering, dressmaking, merchandising and other possible source of
income that is within the capability of the parents.)
2. Parents should let their children experience their lives in communicating
with those around them and in the society they belong. Because these
experiences will serve as learning vehicles to prepare them to cope up
with future trials and struggles. Hence, in performing scholastic
assignments and projects, they must only act as teachers and supporters
not doer’s of the assigned tasks. In disciplining the child, parent must give
punishment appropriate to the offense committed and should remember
that discipline is teaching self – discipline not self – depreciation. In
teaching spiritual values, parents should be models to their children in
going to church and in attending religious activities.
3. Parents should collaborate with the teachers in any school affairs like
PTCA Meeting. There should be a constant interaction between them to
assess and assist the performance of the children in the school.
