Abstract:

The descriptive-survey study aimed to determine the extent of family involvement on Mathematics performance of the students. The study was conducted among the 196 family members of Grade 7 students from Aplaya National High School during the academic year 2021-2022. Examined in the study were the following variables such as learning resources, learning assistance, learning environment, learning motivation, and learning assessment. Using both descriptive and inferential statistics, the responses of the respondents from the survey questionnaire were tabulated, analyzed, and interpreted. Results indicated that most of the respondents were parents with the family monthly of 10, 000 and below. Almost half of the respondents were high school graduates and ranged from 41 – 50 years old and 31 – 40 years old. They were mostly female married and assisted 1 to 3 learners. Among the variables, it was reported there was a large extent of family involvement in terms of learning motivation. It was also found out that there was a significant relationship between the students’ mathematics performance and the extent of their family involvement in all variables. This implies that family involvement is a significant contributor to academic performance of grade 7 students amidst pandemic situations. In these regards, the researcher recommended that the school strengthen links with the family members of the students through permanent and systemic programs such as client orientation and partnerships to ensure effective learning at the time of pandemic.
