Teaching and Educational Administration

The main objective of this study was to determine the factors affecting the academic achievement of Grade 1 parent students. It is a causal-comparative correlation study and applied the following statistical tools: mean and Pearson-r. This investigation used researched-made survey questionnaire and summative assessment tool. The respondents were 28 single-parents students and 28 complete-parent students who were officially enrolled in school year 2021-2022 in the three elementary schools of Barangay Mayaon, Mayaon Elementary School, Magtaya Elementary School and Cabanggatan Elementary School. The result of the study revealed that factors identified in this study like home discussion involvement, home school communication involvement and study habits did not show any significant relationship with the academic performance of the single-parent students. It also revealed that there was no significant difference between the academic performance of single-parent students and complete-parent students. As recommendations, lack of confidence is one of many obstacles that prevent parents from being academically engaged; the schools will provide opportunities for parents to learn about mentoring their children and the school must provide parent education program that could be an avenue for the parents to be educated in terms of mentoring their children academically.
