1.0 Introduction

vi
PARENTAL INVOLVEMENT AND ACADEMIC MOTIVATION

The extent of involvement by a parent to their children and its relation upon the

motivation in academics is a debating point not only in the current time but within the usual norm

of a Filipino or other Asian family. Having a mantra of ‘’you must study well to give your family

a good life’’, since one of the norms of a Filipino culture is relying on their family members.

Despite living in their parent’s house and financing their education, does it involve the motivation

of a student to study well exclusively enrolled in an online class?

         In general sense, parental involvement includes extensive scope of elicited behaviors of

parents, typically wherefore it is considered as mainly the amount of support they give to their

children. Parents or other members of the family who contributes and finances the resources of

their children probably are an essential factor in terms of involvement to the need of a child. And

these contributions, finances or mainly the support is not only limited inside of the house —

where typically the involvement of a parent to their child primarily happens. Consequently,

although the extent of involvement by parent whereas certainly also needed of a typical child

predominantly happens inside the home environment, since most of the interactions between

parent and children do happen in the house. Nevertheless, we cannot disregard the fact that

parental involvement is also important in other environments of a child, specifically in the

academic environment, and needless to say the amount of involvement of a parent is certainly a

factor as well in terms of child schooling.

         For the most part, currently as the pandemic hits schools and other learning institutions’

begun shifting from face-to-face classes to online learning set-up because of the pandemic, it will

be challenging for parents to support their children’s needs. And this might result in demotivation

of their children to continue studying. Challenges to parental involvement include illiteracy,

financial problems, lack of sensitiveness in school’s new system, and shortage of time.   These

vii
PARENTAL INVOLVEMENT AND ACADEMIC MOTIVATION

challenges will be a huge factor in the academic motivation of their children. Some students did

not attend school but still there are students who pursue to continue their studies with an online

learning set-up. 

        Parental involvement among East-Asian countries shows positive results in their children’s

academics (Won, 2019). In regards to school shifting from face-to-face to distance learning,

students have a hard time to adjust to these set-ups. Some students can easily adapt with the set-

up and excel with online set-up and some may have a hard time to adapt with these changes

especially those students that struggle with academics in face-to-face classes

(Loeb,2020).                   

          The researchers wanted to pursue this study since the recent year 2020 month of march

when the pandemic started, everything changed especially the mode of education shifted from

face-to-face to online class and where the reliance with technology and social media platforms

seamlessly were a convenient choice for the continuum of education. Yet, the existence of online

class is not a new approach to education in some countries and different areas. But when it comes

to contextual basis in terms of countries especially in the Philippines, it is roughly different,

whereas it is not an ideal type for implementation of online education given that our country

is one of the among labelled as having the slowest internet connectivity.

         Thus, the researchers catch the sight of parent-child relationship and its implications with

regards upon the motivation of students enrolled in online classes, that is, with noticing their

school environment that instead within the school facilities, it happens to be replaced by inside of

their houses because of the pandemic precautionary measures and modifications that necessitate

also for their health-safety consideration. Moreover, the emergence of varied conditions by

pandemic that resulted for the most part with both students and parents are affected, whereas

much and as expected the parent-child interaction that do undergoes predominantly in home

viii
PARENTAL INVOLVEMENT AND ACADEMIC MOTIVATION

environment is constrain where especially to the point on for parents perspective during of

challenging times assuming that they are have also wide responsibilities to prioritize (financially

and regulation of basic needs of a family etc.) other than providing of support in environment of

their children academically. Theoretically, besides it could be a more serious factor for student

motivation since online education is newly implemented in Philippines. Although there are

factors that contribute to lack of parental involvement like the aforementioned other

responsibilities of a parent.  Therefore, it is indeed a contributing factor to their child's motivation

considering that the pandemic had repercussions to their agency as a parent, and yet, if the

involvement of parent is not co-existent with the environment of their children academically and

forasmuch their modicum of support that at least needed to be received by their child in some

levels, so to speak, must not be compensated as means in order for their child or for students to

have sense of motivation and engage in school related tasks.

2.0 Literature Review


REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE AND STUDIES

In this chapter, the researchers provided supporting studies and published literature to

strengthen the assumption imposed in the research.

PARENTAL INVOLVEMENT

Bailey (2017) according to the findings that there are student participants who spoke to

their parents asking for support to help them get motivated to succeed in their education. The

student participants spoke to the degree in which their parents help them with their homework

and that their overall motivation for succeeding in education is driven by their parents’ desire for

ix
PARENTAL INVOLVEMENT AND ACADEMIC MOTIVATION

them to succeed. The parents of each student participant created images of success and have

communicated those expectations to their children for varies reasons.

Parental involvement among Filipinos as stated in the research of Garcia (2017) that

Filipino parents believe that helping their children with schoolwork, motivating them, and

providing structure at home help their children succeed in school, consistent with the extant

literature on parental involvement. In addition, according to Newchurch (2017)  authoritarian,

authoritative, and passive parenting habits and styles were identified as a guiding gauge of how

parents engaging with that style got results from their child concerning schooling. Parenting

styles and how parents provide the needs of their children contributes with the child's success in

education. 

According to   Jaiswal (2017) that "Parental involvement practices, regardless of other

practices applied at home or at school, have been found to influence children's academic

performance. Parents play a dynamic role in nurturing their children's educational development.

They provide financial support, emotional support, motivational support and facilitate the sources

for studying and encouraging the achievement."  However according to Lara & Saracostti, (2019)

study indicates that there are differences in children’s academic achievement between the parental

involvement profiles, indicating children with parents that have a low involvement will have a

lower academic achievement. On the other hand Jaiswal (2017) suggested that parental

involvement will create a third link between the triangle of children's academic and  teacher

involvement in development of the child.

  Based on the findings of Bariroh (2018) in Parents’ Involvement on Children with

Special Needs, recommended that parents should be more intensive in assisting, accompanying,

and guiding their children, especially to their children who have special needs so that their

motivation and academic achievement can be enhanced.

x
PARENTAL INVOLVEMENT AND ACADEMIC MOTIVATION

Parental involvement impacts children’s self-esteem; moreover, the involvement of

mothers is much higher than that of fathers in all components of parental involvement. These

results may encourage an increased interest in the role of fathers’ involvement in schools (Gith

2017). There is no theoretical framework up to date explaining the gendered nature of parental

educational involvement. How and why might fathers’ involvement differentially influence

children’s achievement from mothers’ (Kim 2017)

  In addition, Jafar (2019) listed factors affecting Parental involvement in

education. (1) Parents’ educational background. (2) Lack of knowledge about curriculum. (3)

Lack of time. (4) Language (5) School staff attitudes and environment. (6) School demands

(certain or uncertain for parents). (7) Children’s invitation. (8) Teachers’ invitation. (9)

Children’s desire for independency. (10) Parents’ beliefs about their skill to develop learning.

(11)  Parents’ income level. (12) Family structure. (13)  Parenting style. (14) Parents’ own

parental involvement. (15) Students’ age. (16)  Students’ gender.  Parents’ gender. (17) Students’

achievement level. (18) Parents’ beliefs about parental duty (19) Culture. (20) Parents’ own

negative school experience. (21) Lack of transportation.

Research indicates children generally fare better in traditional schools when parents are

involved. However, scant research exists concerning parental involvement in alternative settings

such as blended and online schooling. The researchers continue to affirm that: (a) categorization

of technologically-mediated schools is ill-defined; (b) levels of parental involvement vary and are

influenced by many factors; (c) links between parent involvement and student achievement exist

in alternative settings but further research is needed. There are implications for public policy..

(Hasler-Waters, L., Menchaca, M., & Borup, J. 2017)

STUDENT MOTIVATION

xi
PARENTAL INVOLVEMENT AND ACADEMIC MOTIVATION

The will of an individual to do their chores or responsibilities and a student’s motivation

to do his or her school works has no distinction. Recalling from Maslow’s hierarchy of needs,

human motivation claimed that all of the people have a set of basic needs to be met. Self-

actualization, esteem, love and belongingness, safety needs, physiological needs.  If most of these

needs are met, it merges to fuel the human motivation. In case of student motivation, numerous

ideas can be discussed about. A student might feel motivated to finish his or her college degree

by pressure since she’s the eldest child that meant to be a ‘’breadwinner’’. A student motivated to

earn her degree that not her choice because her parent told her to. Also, parents rushing their

offspring to get the degree for a job and not considering even we’re on a global pandemic since

having the mantra of ‘’sayangkasiyungtaon, anak’’.

  According to Howard (2017)student outcomes are influenced by different types of

motivation that stem from external incentives, ego-involvement, personal value, and intrinsic

interest.Concluding the motivation of a student can be rooted from external rewards; raising the

allowance or own acknowledgement or praise from the family. As well as proving yourself to

boost the self-worth in the eyes of your parents or acquittances by doing certain things that will

amaze them or to feel them proud. Lastly, motivation can be based on the individual’s interest

and personal value that wants him or her to achieve their goals.

Miller (2017) indicated in her own research that a certain study specifically examined

changes in students’ perceptions of learning, interest in learning and academic motivation when

incorporating mobile devices into classroom instruction. The findings show that motivation can

be enhanced when incorporating mobile devices. Yet, the current study found no effect of mobile

learning on higher academic achievement in this sample. This study sheds light on the importance

of mobile devices in the classroom. The findings encourage the use of mobile devices due to their

effect on motivation, which may offer an interactive classroom environment where students feel

enthusiastic and eager to learn.

xii
PARENTAL INVOLVEMENT AND ACADEMIC MOTIVATION

         The rule of banning mobile devices in a classroom especially in public classrooms due to

the it can distract students from paying attention to the teacher, or might abuse such as cheating

and texting in the middle of a class. Miller stated that a student’s motivation can be increase when

using mobile devices that can be used such as innovative researching, surfing knowledgeable

contents on the internet and also, to feel lively to learn since using their phones are part of their

daily basis.Yet, measured by ANCOVA to measure the change in student motivation for learning,

Miller affirms that no effect of mobile devices into learning in academic motivation and

achievement and showed no significant differences between groups.

          In the opinion of Sulihin (2020) in order for student motivation to increase, teachers need

to make an innovation in learning. One of the things that teachers need to pay attention to in order

to increase student motivation is to maximize the use of learning media during the learning

process. In contrast, innovated ways of learning can be more interesting and motivating to

students. Giving an effort into video material or media learning can increase the student’s

attentiveness and motivation.

         In the point of view of Martin &Bolliger (2018) Student engagement; increases student

satisfaction, enhances student motivation to learn, reduces the sense of isolation, and improves

student performance in online courses. Concluding that student engagement is clarified as

important principle in online learning, since students enrolled in online classes seem to have

fewer opportunities to be engaged with the institution. Centering to the student engagement is

about to getting the students to care to their study to enhance the motivation and will to learn of

the student.

         Gbollie and Keamu (2017) stated in their report that using Motivated Strategies for

Learning Questionnaire (MSLQ) they were able to identify 12 potential learning hindrances and

used as instrument. The results showed the motivational belief component of extrinsic goal

xiii
PARENTAL INVOLVEMENT AND ACADEMIC MOTIVATION

orientation as the most preferred belief and test anxiety was the least possessed belief. Rehearsal

strategies were found to be the most frequently used, while help seeking was reported to be the

least strategy considered. The result also showed significant relationships between the two

constructs. In addition, the study found some learning hindrances.

         In contrast with the report that gave an emphasis to extrinsic motivation, Ferrer, et al

(2020) gave emphasis on how intrinsic motivation will affect the attitudes of students in online

learning. The results of the study were mixed. Attitude to online learning mediated the

relationships of both intrinsic motivations to know and extrinsic motivation with engagement,

indicating that the design of online learning environments can play a role in enhancing learning

experiences. However, attitude to online learning was not found to mediate the intrinsic

motivation to accomplish and engagement relationship. A negative mediation effect was partially

supported between amotivation and engagement, with study mode found as a moderated mediator

to this effect, being stronger and significant for online students as opposed to on-campus students.

ONLINE EDUCATION

         The Covid-19 outbreak has results with rapidly shift of the educational system from

traditional face-to-face environment into online classes. With this in mind, because of

precautionary safety measures it is not surprising most of the students around the globe are

enrolled in online classes.

xiv
PARENTAL INVOLVEMENT AND ACADEMIC MOTIVATION

         In recent year, based on the study regarding the impacts of Covid-19 in

educational/online classes. One notable findings shows the students and teachers are intensively

relies on aid of technological platforms (Edmodo, Zoom and Google Classroom etc.) in order to

regulate the online educational learning.(Onyema et al., 2020) However, at any rate knowing that

pandemic has repercussions into agency of workers teachers, academic staffs and educational

sectors.With its hindsight the regulation of the quality education indeed was laborious especially

during challenging times, and without a doubt considering of the novelty and condition of

environment that already compensated. The students who enrolled in online classes are rather the

one who are importantly affected. Thus, with this rapid shift of educational system, the perception

and adaptation of students enrolled respectively into online classes has become primarily the

consideration.

         Interestingly, despite of the condition of pandemic. According to the research by 

Albanian University regarding on the students perception about the rapid shift of education

system. With participation of 627 students in the study, the obtained results was notably

comparatively two-sided (Xhelili, P., Ibrahimi, E., Rruci, E., &Sheme, K. (2021). One findings

shows that students enrolled in online classes and taking technological based courses seems has

no repercussions and no unsatisfactory attitudes in terms of educational experience. However, the

same result and findings on the other hand shows those who are not enrolled on technology

related courses are has being more challenged to adapting nto online classes, and not to mention

because they are more habituated with classroom environment than technology based education.

         Furthermore, these results it’s not relatively surprising, since Albania has being

considered as also one of not fully developed countries. Moreover, that certainly since the

primary priority of one country was to secure human safety. The likeliest outcome of this is those

students enrolled in online classes will turn out to be in the edge spot.

xv
PARENTAL INVOLVEMENT AND ACADEMIC MOTIVATION

         Coincidentally, continuous results persist in relative underdeveloped countries. Based on

the study undergone by National University of Sciences & Technology, Pakistan ( Adnan &

Anwar, 2020). The perspective of students upon online learning results with undesired outcomes

and students unsatisfactory in adaption from face-to-face educational system into online classes.

Thus, the main pillar of constraints on online learning environment were influenced by students'

experience of a slow internet connectivity – which is the persistently issue since then and still in

underdeveloped countries, regardless of Covid-19 outbreak.

         Additionally, it is not only the accessibility of the internet were the remainder that which

hamper the academically environment of students enrolled in Online Classes. Based on the

National Survey in Philippines (Baticulon et al., 2020). The data elaborately results with the five

barriers to online learning of students namely individual, domestic, institutional, and community

barriers. Although the most respondents in the study are medical students, regardless of the field,

the central experience of barriers which impedes their educational environment was theoretically

the same to other students enrolled in online classes and their respective courses.

         Arguably, the pandemic was mainly the reason of elation of  comparative results with the

academic environment of the students enrolled in online classes, especially when it comes of

extensive need to complete a school related task and to achieved a desirable performance.

         Likewise, as claimed by Christman (2018), in his study the performance of those students

who enrolled in online classes and were also taking a statistical courses, results with low test

scores compared to those students that are in face-to-face classes, and not to mention when the

test was undergone in a different environment.  Needless to say, this means there was a

tremendous disparity between traditional way of education face-to-face classes and online classes

in terms of both students' absorption of instruction and learning. Most importantly, this findings

suggest that  Regarding students quality performance whether on test scores, completing a certain

xvi
PARENTAL INVOLVEMENT AND ACADEMIC MOTIVATION

task and dealing with related complicated subjects or courses are all interdependent on

deliverance and incorporation of instructions during online classes.

2.1 Theoretical/ Conceptual Framework

The conceptual framework of the study shows the demographic profiles of the children

enrolled in online class according to their age, gender, year level and course program with their

degree of parental involvement and level of motivation. 

2.2 Research Paradigm

Figure 1

In Figure 1, it describes the conceptual framework of the study wherein the inputs consist
of the demographic profile of students in terms of Age, Gender, and Year level
Next is the process of administering the interview. there are two (2) surveys that we will
administer are closed ended questions that can be answer by giving a rating from 1 to 5, 1 is the
lowest and 5 is the highest. The first survey that the researchers will administer consists of 15
questions that centers about how their parents get involve in their academics (POPS). The

xvii
PARENTAL INVOLVEMENT AND ACADEMIC MOTIVATION

following survey we will administer consist 15 questions that tackles the respondents' academic
motivations (AMS).
The output is to have a better perception or point of view about how parental involvement
affects the academic motivation of the students. The researchers wanted to seek if parents’
involvement has correlation into their children’s motivation on an academical scene. These will
give them knowledge and a lot of realization both from parents and their children that are
students.

2.3 State of the Problem

The study aimed to determine the effects of parental involvement on academic motivation

of the students enrolled in online classes.

Specifically, it sought to answer the following questions:

1. How may the profile of the respondents be described in terms of:

1.1 age

1.2 gender

1.3 Year level

1.4 Course program

2. What is child's perception of their parents’ support and involvement in academics

3. How does the child's perception of their parents' support and involvement in academics affects

their motivation.

2.4 Research Question and Hypothesis

Research Question 1: What is the demographic profile of the respondents in term of:

xviii
PARENTAL INVOLVEMENT AND ACADEMIC MOTIVATION

1.1 Gender

1.2 Age

1.3 Year level

1.4 Course/Program

Research Question 2.2.  What is the degree of parental involvement as measured by perception of

Parents Scales (POPS)

2.1 Parents’ Autonomy Support

2.2 Parents’ Involvement

2.3 Parents’ Warmth

Research Question 3: The level of Motivation of students enrolled in online class measured by

Academic Motivation Scale (AMS-C 28)

3.1 Intrinsic Motivation

3.2 Extrinsic Motivation 

3.3 Amotivation

Research Question 4: Is there a statistically significant relationship between parental

involvement, and academic motivation of students when grouped according to their profile.

xix
PARENTAL INVOLVEMENT AND ACADEMIC MOTIVATION

Research Hypothesis 1: There is statistically significant relationship between parental

involvement, and academic motivation of students when grouped according to their profile.

Research Hypothesis 2: There is no statistically significant relationship between parental

involvement, and academic motivation of students when grouped according to their profile.

A according to the study conducted in Chile showed that there were differences in academic

achievement scores between the parent involvement profiles, where high and medium involved

parents had children with higher academic achievement than low involved parents (Lara

&Saracostti, 2019).

3.0 Research Methods

   This chapter includes the research design, where the study will be conducted, the respondents of

the study, research instruments, the procedures of data gathering, and the Statistical treatment that

will be performed in this study. 

3.1 Research Design

  As specified by Bhandari (2021) quantitative research method is the process of collecting and

analyzing numerical data. A quantitative research can be categorized into correlational method

and its primary goal is to investigate the relationships between the variables within the particular

studies. The researchers therefore, used quantitative correlational method in predicting the

xx
PARENTAL INVOLVEMENT AND ACADEMIC MOTIVATION

relationship between parental involvement and the motivation of students enrolled in online

classes with regards to their environment academically. 

3.2 Research Locale

With consideration of our current situation whereas the human safety is given of importance and

conformation with precautionary measures also is necessity. Therefore, since it is not possible to

have face-to-face interaction there is no specific locale of the study besides of social media or

virtually where this research will be conducted. Moreover, the researchers will rely on the

utilization of social media platforms for able to have interaction and to provide surveys with

students who are in part of this study.

3.3 Population and Sampling/Key Informant Selection

The respondents in this study are college students that are currently enrolled in an online

based curriculum around universities or schools inside of Metro Manila (N=100). The sampling

techniques that the researchers chose the voluntary response sample and purposive sample. The

student must be currently enrolled or at least one semester into an online based learning program.

The researchers set different criteria in selecting the respondents that suit to the study to gather

in-depth information: male or female; 18 years old up to 30 years old Filipino citizen: enrolled in

an online school or classes; residing within metro manila; currently with parents or guardian; and

willing to participant. Those participants that might experience data connection problem during

the day of answering the questionnaires are not obliged to answer the questionnaires.

xxi
PARENTAL INVOLVEMENT AND ACADEMIC MOTIVATION

3.4 Research Ethics

The researchers of this study followed the basic ethical principles for the safety of the

respondents and its data that will be given. The researchers will assure that the data gathered from

among the individuals will be handling with anonymity and confidentiality.  Preceding to the

study, there will be an informed consent where the respondents were asked to participate to the

questionnaires that will be given, and also can be voluntarily concur if interested. Any possible

participant had the right to decline to participate. Also, when a respondent suddenly refuses to be

part of the study ongoing, any personal reasons of the individual will be tolerated and will allow

them to withdraw to the study.

Data or information that the participants will provide will be stored in a hard drive

provided with password to ensure every data is properly secure by the researchers also

participants will be given a codename to protect their identity. Participants faces or voices will be

altered if the researchers will take photographs or video during the interview.

Every information that will be taken will be stored for a month in a secure hard drive

protected by password and the researcher will inform the participants before the disposal of

information.

If the respondent feel upset after having completed the study or find that some questions

or aspects of the study were distressing, talking with a qualified clinician or counselor may help.

If the respondents' feel they would like assistance, they may contact the counselors that is free of

charge contact details will be included in consent form.

3.5 Research Instruments

The standardized scales and participatory consent were utilized as means for determining

the demographic profiles given that these forms are comprises of necessary sections for the

respondents to filled out or where they must indicate the following information such as age,

xxii
PARENTAL INVOLVEMENT AND ACADEMIC MOTIVATION

gender, year level and academic strand. There are two (2) standardized scales that the researcher

used on this study. First is the Perception of Parent Scale (POPS). It is an instrument used to

measure the child perception with regards to the involvement degree of their parents. The central

idea of this scale is to measures the facets of parenting that corresponds with Parents Warmth on

some adolescents. This scale was developed by Dr. Robert J. Rosenberg in his dissertation during

1994. The scale is consisting of 42-item questions that measures both the involvement of mother

and father to their children (Sweeny, 2016). Moreover, each question is scored on a 7-point Likert

scale ranging from “not at all true” to “very true”. The researchers reduced the number of table

questions in parental scale (POPS) and manually picked the most relevant ones that relates to the

environment of the students enrolled in universities around Metro Manila.

Second is the Academic Motivation Scale (AMS) standardized scale initially was made by

Vallerand et al., (1999), it contains of 28 items questions that were score on 7-point Likert scale

ranging from “Does not correspond at all” to “Corresponds exactly”. The scale assesses the state

where whether high school students are motivated intrinsically, extrinsically or might their

motivation is non-existent. Also, the researchers lessen the numbers of the questions in the

motivational scale (AMS) and chose the most convenient to the respondents and to their current

environment while enrolled on an online based curriculum.

3.6 Validation of Instruments

The researchers will use a Perception of Parents Scales. The Perceptions of Parents Scales

concern the degree to which parents provide what SDT considers an optimal parenting context

(Grolnick, Deci, & Ryan, 1997).  We will use the College version of POPS the questionnaires are

designed by Robbins (1994). The college-student version of the POPS is intended for use with

xxiii
PARENTAL INVOLVEMENT AND ACADEMIC MOTIVATION

participants who are late adolescents or older. It also assesses children’s perceptions of their

parents’ autonomy support and involvement, but in addition it assesses the degree to which the

children perceive their parents to provide warmth. The 2nd scale the researcher will use will

determine the motivation of the student. Academic Motivational Scale. This scale assesses 7

types of constructs: intrinsic motivation towards knowledge, accomplishments, and stimulation,

as well as external, introjected and identified regulations, and finally amotivation. It contains 28

items (4 items per subscale) assessed on a 7-point scale. Vallerand, R.J., Blais, M.R., Brière,

N.M., & Pelletier, L.G. (1989). The questionnaires that the researchers used is a public domain

or an open-source scale

3.7 Data Gathering Procedure

The researchers are looking for individuals that meets the study’s requirements for a

respondent such as; Male or female; 18 to 30 years old; Filipino citizen; Enrolled in an online

class-based curriculum universities around Metro manila. The researchers will plug the poster

widely online across different social medias, (Facebook, Instagram and twitter since these apps

where almost consensus of usage by college students). An invitation poster to allure possible

respondents. Secondly, the researchers will distribute a google form to the respondent if they are

fit and willing to participate the study. Follow-up message will also apply by sending a direct

message/e-mail to the respondents on what social media they responded on the first place. The

researchers will give a letter of invitation to every participant to complete a three-part survey

questionnaire, including the respondents' demographic information, the Perception of Parents

Scales (POPS), and the Academic Motivation Scale (AMS). Additionally, the researchers include

a section on the first page of the google forms providing informed consent. The researcher

emphasizes the respondent's right to withdraw at any time if someone felt uncomfortable

answering specific questions. Also, the researchers highlight that there is no monetary

compensation for responding and no known risk. After participants complete the questionnaire,

the researcher will compile and tabulate the data for analysis. The researchers will consult a

statistician to assist them in identifying the most effective techniques for data interpretation. The

data will be collected using simple random sampling. It'll be somewhere in the middle of the

correlational design and experimental design. Correlational research is a non-experimental

research technique in which a researcher measures two variables, analyzes and assesses the

method between variables, and does so without using any other variables. The two variables were

Academical Motivation and Parental Involvement, which the respondents' answers can measure.

After collecting all the data, the researchers will tabulate all of the information and tally it. When

the data has already been presented, they can now count the responses to each variable and

correlate it using Pearson R correlational instrument. A correlation coefficient is a statistical

measure that calculates the strength of the relationship between two variables. Data or

information that the participants will provide will be stored in a hard drive provided with

password to ensure every data is properly secure by the researchers. Every information that will

be taken will be stored for a month in a secure hard drive protected by password and the

researcher will inform the participants before the disposal of information. After each participants

gave their responses on questionnaires. The researchers are the only who has access on data. But

if the participants wished to see their own response. We will send it to them through e-mail

correspondingly. In disposition of data, the forms will automatically be deleted once the google

forms went unactive. The collected data stored in hard drive will also be reformatted after the

study. However, the full manuscript of this research will be stored only by the researchers. And

will be also keep inside the university library if the research is required to be bind.

3.8 Statiscal treatment

Pearson r correlation coefficient

The figure below is the Pearson correlation coefficient formula; Pearson r is a bivariate statistical

model that analyzes two variables. The formula was used by researchers to compute the result of

the students who took the two different survey-questionnaires, Perception of Parental scale and

Academic Motivation Scale The sampling was used to correlate and to know if there was a relat

ionship between 2 variables.
