Abstract:

This study explores the relationship between parental involvement and students’ engagement among junior high school students at MSU-MSAT during the First Semester of the Academic Year 2023-2024. It examines the extent of parental involvement across various domains, evaluates the level of students’ engagement, and investigates the correlation between parental involvement and students’ engagement. The research involves 165 junior high school students from MSU-MSAT in Maigo, Lanao del Norte, utilizing a descriptive research design. Data is collected through a questionnaire and analyzed using frequency and percentage, average-weighted value, and chi-square. The findings reveal that parents are most active in parenting and communication, with less engagement in volunteering and community collaboration. Parental involvement in learning at home and decision-making is sporadic. Conversely, junior high school students demonstrate engagement in behavioral, emotional, and cognitive dimensions. The study concludes that parental involvement significantly impacts students’ engagement, with higher levels of parental involvement correlating with increased student engagement.
