Education

This study examined the influence of study habits and parental involvement on the academic achievement of Grade 3 learners in Sta. Maria Central Elementary School and Cabuga Elementary School in Agusan del Sur, Philippines. This quantitative research employed descriptive-correlational, non-experimental design. Data were obtained from 117 learners utilizing universal sampling. Data were gathered through adapted research instruments. Findings revealed that parental involvement was generally less extensive. Meanwhile, students exhibited high levels of study habits. In terms of academic performance, students scored proficient in reading fluency but only low proficient in numeracy. Statistical analysis showed that there was no significant correlation between parental involvement and academic achievement, and likewise no significant correlation between study habits and academic achievement. These findings suggest that other unmeasured factors may be influencing student performance. The study recommends further investigation into additional variables that may impact learning outcomes. This can be a source of reference for future studies, and additional assessment may be considered to strengthen more the claim of the study.
