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.
