Abstract:

Parents’ engagement played an important role in parent-teacher partnership in educating the children to have a harmonious collaboration in motivating the children's learning. Due to this pandemic, parents were appreciated as facilitators in the learning process of the learners since children were not allowed to go to school for face-to-face interaction with the teacher. Modular Distance learning modalities were implemented most of the schools especially Dalamas Integrated School wherein internet connection was not available in the said area. This study aimed to assess the parents’ engagement in modular distance learning and the learners’ academic performance in the school year 2021-2022. The study utilized the descriptive-correlational research design. Findings revealed that the respondents’ engagement in modular distance learning helped them realize that education was very important to their children and that they encouraged their children to do their homework. However, the data revealed that engagement of parents in modular distance learning did not necessarily affect the academic performance of the learners and that their engagement was not differentiated based on their socio-demographic profile.
