Dynamics of Parental Involvement: Its Impact on Learner’s Learning Behavior

Providing quality learning experiences to school children is not merely a responsibility of the learning institution, instead, the dynamics of parental involvement have a bearing on the attainment of the desired learners’ learning behavior. This study verified how parental involvement influences the learners’ learning behaviors. The use of the mixed methods of research was evident in this study, particularly, the quantitative approach was employed in determining the school activities influencing learners’ learning behaviors that parents are involved in, and in finding the extent of influence of parental involvement on learners’ learning behaviors. Meanwhile, the qualitative approach was used to ascertain how emotional support from parents influences the learners’ learning behaviors and to identify the role of parent monitoring in shaping learners’ learning behaviors.Revealed in the study showed that the school activities influencing learners' learning behaviors in which parents were involved themselves were commonly noticed in supporting homework completion, participating in Brigada Eskwela, engaging in school academic activities, taking part in school committees, participating in school - based contests, and attending school meetings. Parental involvement in various school activities all demonstrated a very high level of influence in fostering learners’ motivation, study habits, social engagement, and overall academic performance. The emotional support provided by parents plays a crucial role in shaping learners' behavior, as it motivates them to persist and actively engage in school activities and fosters a positive attitude toward academic involvement.Parental monitoring plays a vital role in shaping learners' behavior by instilling a sense of responsibility, enabling early detection of academic challenges, and promoting open communication about school experiences, all of which contribute to improved learning outcomes. The researcher proposed a home-school program to boost parent-school partnerships and improve learners' academic behaviors and educational outcomes through increased parental involvement.
