Chapter 1
Introduction
Parents is primary source of guidance they can add an important
ingredient that will boost their children’s success at stage of life. Parents
participation is the ingredient that make as the difference. Parent’s
involvement with their child’s academic performance and behavior at
school brings great rewards and can have significance impact on their
students. Parents provide the foundation of love in our family and serve as
example to their children in building a beautiful family. Parents’ guide a
child’s life by providing special time and making a child feels valued.
Parental guidance is very important to shape and mold the child’s
future. Parental guidance boosts child abilities and strength. It also the key
of making them away from danger and discrimination because providing
support to your children is the one of the best way to make them confident
and ready to any obligation that may arise. Parenting is not always
positive. Some parents are making their child/teens feel responsible for
their feelings. Sometimes they are threatening them in general specifically
with rejection or abandonment. Threatening them with rogue, instead
consequence by using force upon them, invalidating their feelings, laying
undeserved guilt/blame on the child, dominating the conversation and
refusing to apologize. Parents are sending their child in a room for crying
and locking them out of the house. They also using punishments and
rewards to manipulate and control them.
Generally, homes are considered as places which provide
appropriate learning environment for a students. Parents, adult family
members, and sibling can contribute significantly to various components of
personality of the child particularly and in improving his/her academic
performance and behavior.
The study looks at parental guidance in depth by focusing on the
causes and the impact of lack of parental guidance and how parents can
be involved. Parental guidance is key. Child development researchers
largely have ignored the importance of parental “guidance,” Holden says.
In his model, effective parents observe, recognize and assess their child’s
individual genetic characteristics, then cultivate their child’s strengths.
Research Questions
1. What are the causes of lack of parental guidance?
2. what is the impact of lack of parental guidance to students in relation
to their:
2.1. Academic performance; and
2.2. Behavior
3. What recommendations may be given to help the students come up
with the problems?
Scope, Delimitation and Limitation of the Study
The main focus of this study is the impact of lack of parental
guidance to the students of DJAPMNHS, the cause and impact to their
problems in terms of academic performance, behavior and
recommendations that may help the students come up with the problems.
The study is delimited to the other grade level which do not part of
Grade 10 students.
The study is limited only to the Grade 10 students of Dr. Juan A.
Pastor National High School.
Significance of the study
This study is significance to the following beneficiaries:
Students. This may serve as a reference or guide for them to gain more
knowledge about the impact of lack of parental guidance that will surely
help them.
Parents. This study can help them to develop effective parenting skills, to
learn more and this can help them to increase their knowledge about lack
of parental guidance.
Researchers. This may serve as a reference or guide for them to gain
more information about lack of parental guidance and their knowledge
about it may increase.
Future Researchers. This is a big help for future researchers because
it may serve as a guide in making their first research.
Chapter II
In this chapter, the researcher discussed the different information
from articles, books, internet and which were used as references for the
completion of this research.
Conceptual Literature
The result of the literature review are presented in terms of how
Parental involvement variables impact student academic achievement.
The parent-child discussion variable refers to on going
conversations between parents and their children concerning school-
related activities, programs, near- and long-term school plans, and other
academic issues. This variable frequently yields the strongest positive
association with achievement. McNeal, for example, found that the only
dimension of parental involvement that was associated with improved
achievement and reduced problematic behavior (e,g., truancy) was parent
child discussion.
PI in the form of behavioral supervision has shown either no
association or a negative relationship with academic achievement. For
example, firm disciplinary practices were found to be unrelated to a child’s
academic success, based on a sample of 59 6-11-year old African-
Americans from homeless families. A survey with Korean American
adolescents showed that differences in parenting styles did not significantly
relate to adolescents academic achievement.
Parental aspirations and expectations are often described
collectively or used interchangeably in the literature.
