Pauline E. Agapito
Discipline: Education
Abstract:
The study utilized the descriptive research design to describe the collaboration of
home and school in improving the academic achievement of the pupils in Malinta
Elementary School among 78 parents from Kindergarten to Grade Six with 7 regular
elementary teachers.
The study revealed that majority of the respondents are females, aged 26-30,
secondary graduates, housewives and have no monthly income. Parents are involved in
home-school collaboration by participating in school activities, learning assistance while
the school is very good in clear and regular communication, delivery of instruction and
home visitation.
The study recommends to intensify the parents and teacher collaboration through
participation in seminars regarding the provision of learning resources specifically in using
technology and printed materials. Involve the parents in the school meetings and
orientations about rules and regulations of the school, their engagement in school
activities and home-school guidance.
