Abstract:

This study aims to determine the mediating effect of teacher support regarding the relationship between parental involvement and student academic productivity; identify the level of parental involvement, teacher support, and student academic productivity among Grade 6 students in Cambanogoy Central Elementary School. It employed a quantitative non-experimental research design, the descriptive correlational technique, and mediation analysis. There were found to be significant associations between parent involvement, teacher support, and student academic productivity. Thus, it finds that both parental involvement and teacher support have a very crucial influence on academic success, considering that teacher support wholly and partially mediates the impact of parental involvement on student productivity. Mediation analysis thus confirms the enhancing effect of teacher support on parental involvement in a positive working relation for students' academic productivity is needed. It records good levels of teacher support, parental involvement, and student productivity and significant relationships between them. Teacher support partially mediates the positive relationship that exists between parental involvement and the level of productivity at which their students can work, bringing into focus the role of both teacher support and parental involvement to attain academic productivity. Finally, the study concludes that teachers offer abundant support to students. Therefore, a friendly and facilitative learning environment is provided.
