ABSTRACT

Alemania, Karen P., Duavis, Cherrylyn L., Membreve, Imee C.,

Buenavista Community College (BCC), Buenavista, Bohol. PARENTAL

UPBRINGING: IT’S RELATION TO ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE.

Adviser: RENA R. DUALLO, Ph. D. E. M.

This study aimed to determine the parental upbringing of Grade V pupils in

Cangawa Elementary School, Buenavista, Bohol, S.Y. 2009 – 2010 and it’s

relation to academic performance. Specifically, it aimed to answer the following

questions: (1) What is the profile of the respondents’ parents in terms of: age,

occupation, educational attainment and family monthly income? (2) To what

extent are the practices employed by the parents in the upbringing of their

children in terms of: guidance, discipline and spirituality? (3) Is there a significant

relationship between the parental upbringing of Grade V pupils and their

academic performance?

The study was conducted in Cangawa Elementary School, Buenavista,

Bohol with the 31 Grade V pupils as the respondents of the study. The

questionnaire technique was employed by the researchers in gathering the data

with the assistance of the adviser. The data gathered were computed by the use

viii

Page 9: THESIS EDUCATION  BUENAVISTA COMMUNITY COLLEGE, BUENAVISTA, BOHOL

of simple percentage, weighted mean and Pearson Product Moment Correlation

Test.

It was found out that there was a high significant relationship between

parental upbringing and academic performance because the result of parental

upbringing and average grade of pupils were parallel.

Based on the findings, the researchers came up with several conclusions.

Generally, the fathers were within the 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 most fathers and mothers was in

elementary level and the average family monthly income was within the bracket

of 3, 000-5, 999. Parental upbringing in terms of guidance, discipline and

spirituality was very good. There was a high significant relationship between

parental upbringing of Grade V pupils and their academic performance. Hence,

the null hypothesis was rejected.

Since guidance is a very heavy task, parents should let their children

experience life on their own because it will serve as learning vehicle to prepare

them to cope with future trials and struggles. Hence, in performing scholastic

assignment and projects, they must only act as supporters and teachers, not

doers of the assigned tasks. In disciplining the child, parents must give

punishment of the offense committed and should remember that discipline is

ix

Page 10: THESIS EDUCATION  BUENAVISTA COMMUNITY COLLEGE, BUENAVISTA, BOHOL

teaching self - discipline not self – depreciation. In teaching spiritual values,

parents should be models to their children in going to church and attending

religious activities.

Since, parental upbringing needs time and understanding, parents must

be patient, loving all through out their children’s lives.

CHAPTER I

THE PROBLEM AND RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

Introduction

Rationale

The family is the smallest social institution with the unique function on

producing and rearing the young. It is the basic unit of Philippine society and the

educational system where the child begins to learn ABC. The family is also the

basic agent of socialization because it is where the individual develops values,

behaviors, and ways of life through interaction with members of the family (Vega

2004).

However, being a parent is one of the most challenging but rewarding job

anyone could ever adopt. It is the longest task and responsibility that an

individual will ever perform. Parenting is an active process that demands that

individuals use their skills and knowledge, plan, give birth, raise and provide for

children. The parenting process includes protecting, nourishing, and guiding the

child. It involves a series of interaction between the parent and the child through

the life span (Prof Ajith D’Souza et. al., http//www.yahoo.com).

Parents have a vital role in the global development processes of their child

and also more importantly one of the most common factors in the child’s life.

xvi

Page 17: THESIS EDUCATION  BUENAVISTA COMMUNITY COLLEGE, BUENAVISTA, BOHOL

They play a primary role in the upbringing, protection and development of their

children (http//www.yahoo.com).

As cited by Moulana Moosa Ahmad Olgar, the foremost desire of parents

after having children is to prepare them for a bright and successful future through

education. Thus, every parent hopes and wishes that their children be pious with

excellent character but this can only be achieved if the correct method towards

this goal is adopted and the right environment created from the very beginning.

School, as the second home of the child is a place for the contemplation of

reality. There are teachers who facilitate learning, who teach children and youth

certain types of acceptable behavior and see to it that children develop in all

aspects: physically, emotionally, socially and academically.

It is on these premises that the researchers would like to conduct a study

of the parental upbringing of children in relation to their academic performance.

Theoretical Background

“There is no amount of success that can compensate for the failure at

home.” (McKay, 1980).

Legal Bases:

xvii

Page 18: THESIS EDUCATION  BUENAVISTA COMMUNITY COLLEGE, BUENAVISTA, BOHOL

Article 220 of the 1987 Philippine Constitution, Decree 603, stated the following

rights and duties of parents to their children:

1. To keep in their company, to support, educate and instruct them by right

perception and good example and to provide for their upbringing in

keeping their means.

2. To give them love and affection, advice and council companionship and

understanding.

3. To provide them with moral and spiritual guidance inculcate in them

honesty, integrity, self-discipline, self-reliance, industry and thrift, and

simulate their interest in civic affairs.

4. To enhance, protect and maintain the physical and mental health at all

time.

5. To furnish them with good and wholesome educational materials,

supervise their activities, reaction and association with others, protect

them from bad company and prevent them from acquiring habits

detrimental to their health, studies and morals.

6. To present them in all matters affecting their interest.

7. To demand from them respect and obedience.

8. To impose discipline on them as may be required under the

circumstances.

Educational Act of the Philippines, enumerated the rights and duties of

parents as follows:

xviii

Page 19: THESIS EDUCATION  BUENAVISTA COMMUNITY COLLEGE, BUENAVISTA, BOHOL

Article 43. The parents shall have the right to the company of their children

and in relation to all persons or institution dealing with the children’s

development. Their primary right and obligation is to provide for the upbringing of

their children.

Article 45. Parents have the right to discipline the child as may be

necessary for the information of this good character and may therefore require

them obedience to just and reasonable rules.

Article 46. Parents shall have the following duties toward their child:

1. To give them affection, companionship and understanding.

2. To extend to them the benefits of moral guidance, self-discipline and

religious instruction.

3. To advice them properly on any matter affecting his development as well-

being.

4. To always set a good example.

Literature Background

Parenting is not an easy task. Becoming a parent is the easiest part,

whereas, being a conscious and positive parent is a momentous task. Parenting

is the most important role one faces in a lifetime. Parents who provide an

encouraging environment for their children are rewarded when, as adults, their

children realize a successful fit into the culture and society

(http//www.yahoo.com).

xix

Page 20: THESIS EDUCATION  BUENAVISTA COMMUNITY COLLEGE, BUENAVISTA, BOHOL

According to Zaide, Jr., 1998, p. 171, as quoted by Celocia, Perfecto and

Villamor, James, parents should realize that being a father and mother carries

with it a new set of duties and obligations. Becoming a parent represents

important transition for most married couples.

From parents, children acquire beliefs, values and attitudes that shape

their lives (Hermida, 1997). But, it is important not only to work towards shaping

the children’s behavior but also to help them feel good about themselves in the

process (internet, http//www.yahoo.com).

There are different styles of parenting. These are the following: (1)

Permissive parenting – permissive parents give too much freedom, set no limits

of boundaries and provide no guidelines for the child to follow socially accepted

norms. Often these parents are uninvolved in parenting and spend little time with

their children. Children will have less self-control, become aggressive and

irresponsible and have low-esteem; (2) Authoritarian parenting - authoritarian

parents are demanding, strict, give punishment and do not allow choices or the

freedom to express various opinions; (3) Authoritative parenting - authoritative

parents employ explanations, reasoning; they balance their parenting style by

using rewards appropriately. Punishment is never harsh or physical. Generally,

the reward is proportionate to the positive behavior that is being reinforced. Such

parenting style results in children who have good self-control, high self-esteem,

xx

Page 21: THESIS EDUCATION  BUENAVISTA COMMUNITY COLLEGE, BUENAVISTA, BOHOL

self-confidence, responsibility, independence and control over their emotions

(internet, http//www.yahoo.com).

Related Studies

According to David O. McKay, the home is the first and most effective

place to learn the lessons of life: truth, honor, virtue, self-control, the value of

education, hones work and the purpose and privilege of life. Nothing can take the

place of home in rearing and teaching children.

Effective parenting enables children to build and develop positive

behaviors and good solid self-concepts that are important to functioning fully as a

healthy adult. However, parenting skills can be strengthened if parents learn

about themselves as a “parent” and about child development. Learning about the

stages of development helps parents understand about their ever, changing roles

in the lives of their children and also what is expected of at parent at each stage

(internet).

Indeed, the family remains the primary group in which intimacy and

affection can be freely expressed. A specialized institution whose unique mission

is to provide the emotional support that the larger, more impersonal worlds of

education, work and politics do not provide. (Grolier Encyclopedia, 2003).

occupation, educational attainment and family monthly income.

2. Practices employed by the parents in terms of guidance, discipline and spirituality.

3. Significant relationship between parental upbringing and academic performance.

Recommendations:1. Parents should be encouraged to attend community

conferences. Moreover, strive hard to find another source of income.

2. Parents should let their children experience their lives on communication with those around them and in the society they belong.

3. Parents should have constant interaction with the teachers to assess and assist the performance of their children.

1. What is the profile of the parents of Grade V pupils in terms of

a. Age

b. Occupation

c. Educational Attainment

d. Family Monthly Income

2. To what extent are some practices employed by parents in upbringing

their children in terms of:

a. Guidance

b. Discipline

c. Spirituality

3. Is there a significant degree of relationship between the parental

upbringing of children and their academic performance?

Null Hypothesis of the Study

There is no significant degree of relationship between parental upbringing

and academic performance of Grade V pupils in Cangawa Elementary School.

Significance of the Study

The researchers believe that the findings of the study would be useful to

the following:

xxiv

Page 25: THESIS EDUCATION  BUENAVISTA COMMUNITY COLLEGE, BUENAVISTA, BOHOL

Community

Whatever development attained or aimed through education in the

respective schools would reflect the community’s development, progress and

prosperity, in particular and in the country in general.

School Administration

The study encourages the school administration to improve the teacher

parent – guardian relationship through Parents, Teachers and Community

Association (P.T.C.A.) and that would enhance the cooperation of the two, for the

exchange of information towards the betterment of the pupils.

Teachers

The teachers would be given the opportunity to recognize some family

practices employed in the home. This knowledge could increase their awareness

in school development of the pupils and guide them in understanding their

different behavior.

Parents

xxv

Page 26: THESIS EDUCATION  BUENAVISTA COMMUNITY COLLEGE, BUENAVISTA, BOHOL

The parents are made aware that implementing discipline to their children

may help them to understand better the psychology of their children. It would also

challenge them to add and stock knowledge and to improve their attitudes and

skills so that they would be more adequately prepared to face actual life situation

and academic problems.

Pupils

The pupils are made aware of their task and responsibilities that without

the cooperation and effort of their parents and teachers for their welfare, they

would not be successful. It would also help them understand that parents

discipline is positive pervasive form of life training aimed at the development and

reinforcement of good behavior.

Student – Researchers

The findings could help the student – researchers ascertain and

understand the prevailing conditions and facts between parental upbringing and

academic performance of the pupils which could enhance better parent – child

relationship.

Scope and Limitation

Scope

xxvi

Page 27: THESIS EDUCATION  BUENAVISTA COMMUNITY COLLEGE, BUENAVISTA, BOHOL

The study focused on the parental upbringing in relation to the academic

performance of Grade V pupils in Cangawa Elementary School, Buenavista,

Bohol, School Year 2009 – 2010.

Limitation

The constraints that threatened the conduct of the study were the difficulty

of the pupils in comprehending the questionnaire since it was in English and the

difficulty in gathering data due to respondent’s hesitations in answering the

questions honestly. However, these were resolved by explaining the questions

thoroughly and explaining the purpose and importance of the study.

Research Methodology

This study utilized the descriptive correlational method with the aid of the

questionnaire as tool for gathering data from the Grade V pupils of Cangawa

Elementary School to determine the significant degree of relationship between

parental upbringing and academic performance in the school year 2009 – 2010.

Research Environment and Subjects

The locale of the study is Barangay Cangawa, Buenavista which is found

in the southern part of Buenavista, Bohol.

After the retrieval of the questionnaires, the data were summarized and

analyzed using the appropriate statistical method. The analysis focused on the

parental upbringing of Grade V pupils in Cangawa Elementary School. This was

determined according to the age of the parents, occupation, educational

attainment and family income. Moreover, parental upbringing in terms of

guidance, discipline and spirituality determined the said focus.

Statistical Treatment

Page 30: THESIS EDUCATION  BUENAVISTA COMMUNITY COLLEGE, BUENAVISTA, BOHOL

Sub – problem 2 on the practices employed by parents in upbringing their

children was treated using descriptive statistics, the weighted mean. The

weighted mean formula is:

x =

Where:

X = weighted mean

∑fx = sum of the product of x where f is the frequency of each score and x

is the weight of each score.

∑f = sum of all respondent

The descriptive rating was assigned according to the value as follows:

Scale Level of Awareness

5 Excellent (E)

4 Very Good

3 Good

2 Fair

1 Poor

The mean scale was attained by multiplying the frequency with scale

value, the product added and the sum as the total value, then the sum was

divided by the number of respondents and the quotient was the scale value. The

mean value was interpreted as follows:

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.

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.

xliv

Page 45: THESIS EDUCATION  BUENAVISTA COMMUNITY COLLEGE, BUENAVISTA, BOHOL

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

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.

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

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

Page 47: THESIS EDUCATION  BUENAVISTA COMMUNITY COLLEGE, BUENAVISTA, BOHOL

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.
