Abstract

This study sought to determine the level of parental involvement, parenting styles, academic motivation of the pupils, and the significant relationship between academic motivation, parental involvement, and parenting styles. A total of 136 parents and pupils at Malanang Integrated School comprised the respondents of the study. The study employed the descriptive-correlational design using the purposive universal sampling. Mean, standard deviation were used to find out the level of parental involvement, parenting styles, and academic motivation of the pupils. Pearson Moment Correlation of Coefficient was used to determine the significant relationship between the independent and dependent variables. The study revealed that the parents are actively involved in communicating with their child and other stakeholders for better achievement of the child. They practiced all the parenting styles with authoritative as the predominant parenting style used by the parents in rearing their child. The pupils have a very high academic motivation. Parental involvement in communication, permissive and authoritative parenting styles have a significant bearing or association with the academic motivation of the pupils. It is recommended that parents can enhance their involvement at home by finding quality time with their child. The teachers can sustain or even enhance the motivation of the pupils by designing instruction that will give provision for individual differences. Finally, a similar study may be conducted to confirm or refute the results of this study.
