Rebuilding Pupils' Character through Parents' Participation Towards Academic Performance of Grade Four Pupils in San Roque Elementary School

Abstract

INTRODUCTION

Schools are encouraged to develop their own policies to assess and verify the suitability of volunteers and may decide to require a parent to hold a Working with Children Check Card, depending on the activities volunteer work to be involved. Schools may hold at the start of the year programs with parents. There are also parent-teacher interviews to talk about issues or concerns, and to ask how children are performing and progressing in school. The way a family interacts can have more of an impact on a child's predicted school success than reading, writing or arithmetic.

Likert 5 Scale and weighted mean were used to determine the response on the terms provided in the questionnaire and to describe how the respondents evaluate themselves in terms of how they participate in the academic performance of their child in grade four. This was computed by giving the different weights to choices in order to have a clear and better interpretation of data (Tan, 2006).
