Abstract :
Parental involvement is seen as an important factor in their children`s educational achievement and performance at home and school. The current study determined the influence of parental involvement on student’s completion of learning tasks in Science as measured by a survey questionnaire as the main data-gathering tool. The study utilized a mixed-method approach to examine the data obtained from the two hundred four (204) parents of Grade 11 students belonging to the academic track of Narra National High School, Narra, Palawan, Philippines. Results of the study disclosed that the majority of the parents are employed, full-time, college graduates, and authoritative in terms of the parents’ profile as to employment status, educational attainment, and parenting style. The extent of parental involvement is very involved, and most of the students can complete an average of five (5) learning tasks in Science. The result also showed that the extent of parental involvement is not dependent on the parents’ profile and the number of completed learning tasks by the students on their parents’ profile. However, the number of learning tasks completed by the students is dependent on the extent of parental involvement.
