Accuracy on Students Answers on

Modules

Proposed Research Title

Context and As the new paradigm of education, from traditional to the online
Rationale setting or what we called as the new normal has resulted to a different
experience and issue. In a setting were students learn and answer on

learners and often times they answer their learners’ module or pay
someone to answer it (Philippine News, 2021). Furthermore, the issues
on concerning the learners’ engagement to their task has resulted to an
intervention that may help both the learner and the parent. It is
important for students to have an effective learning engagement, it is
considered as benefit for its learning and the parents’ role to its learning
as a teacher that may help learners to do better and be engage in the
academe (Liu, Chen, Zhang, & Rao, 2018; Nyarko, 2011). Parents’ are
the guiding principle to its learner, and parents are intervening as an
active participation to its education (Azubuike & Aina, 2020).

Parents play critical roles in students' educational success. To

succeed in school, students require a positive learning environment
that provides support, motivation, and high-quality instruction. Parents'
involvement in their children's education begins at home when they
provide a safe and healthy environment, appropriate learning
experiences, support, and a positive attitude toward school. In the
global perspective, several studies have found that students who have
involved their parents in their education have a higher academic
achievement (Lara & Saracostti, 2019). Furthermore, studies have
shown that parental involvement is linked to academic success.
Children who have parents who are actively involved in their education
benefit more than children who have parents who are only passively
involved in their education (Đurišić & & Bunijevac, 2017). Moreover,
parental involvement can help children and adolescents succeed in a
variety of ways. Parents can help their children with their academic

work at home, which is one way they can contribute positively to their
children's education. Children who have parents who read to them, help
them with their homework, and tutor them using resources provided by
teachers do better in school than children who do not have parents who
guide them (Chen, 2021). In the Philippines, parents and guardians
play various roles in Modular Learning, such as Module-ator, Bundy-
clock, and Home Innovator, according to the Department of Education
(DepEd) as stated by Dangle and Sumaoang (2020). Since education
is no longer confined to the classroom, parents have become
educators' partners. As home facilitators, parents play a critical role. In
modular learning, their primary role is to establish a connection with the
child and to guide them. (FlipScience, 2020).
As the problem has been observed and identified, the
researchers aim to conduct an action research regarding on parents’
and guardians’ role in the accuracy in answering the modules. The
Grade 2 Parents/Guardians of St. John Bosco and St. Therese of Cor
Jesu College-Basic Education Department are the chosen participants
of this study. It was observed that there has been a problem with
students’ accuracy on their answers in module. Given to its matter on
the importance of the learning progress of a learner, in which is crucial
that it is needed to be address. This can be done through Parent-
Teacher Conference that can help evaluate and assess the progress of
the students learning and address the needs in the academic.

STRATEGY impact on its learner, as they are there to motivate, guide, and
(cite literature encourage learners to their finest (Lanier, 1997). However, due to the
that supports pandemic---that has put a lot of hindrances especially in education, the
the study) Educational System has shifted to a different mode of learning the
parents needed to do their role as facilitators to its learner. Therefore,
the involvement in the progress of learning of the child demonstrates
that parents’ facilitation can help in their academic performance and
achievement that may result in progressive learning on their own and
able to achieve with their progress (Carrión-Martínez, Pinel-Martínez,
Pérez-Esteban, & Román-Sánchez, 2021; Martin, et. Al., 2016).
Barrera-Osorio (2020) also stated that involvement to parents to
progress to its learner may help strengthen and improve the
educational outcomes. Furthermore, having parents as the facilitator of
learning helps learners to be motivated and engaged with academics.
Hanif and Alwi (2019) discuss that learners are well-behaved and
display a tremendous amount of engagement and motivation to do
better in school when parents are there when learners achieve their
academic. That shows that parental involvement can guide learners to
a positive academic outcome that may help in the long run (Loomans,
2012).
ndeed, the COVID-19 pandemic affected the living conditions of every
community and our societies, specifically, the Filipino families. Thus, it
education system change and create problems for every Filipino
teacher, student, and most especially the parents. Hence, parental
involvement is one of the determinants of academic success and
engages in the satisfactory academic performance of the students in
this time of pandemic and learners tend to (Tus, 2021; Valenzuela &
Fabella (2020). Moreover, with the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic
the country implemented and embrace the new normal of education,
which is the online learning modalities. In addition, Agato and Cueto
(2021) discuss that parents needed to supervise, tutor, and home-
schooling teachers for modular learning during the health crisis or the
COVID-19 pandemic. Hence, the study about the experiences of
parents in the new normal modality during the COVID-19 pandemic
revealed that parents encountered problems and challenges from the
new mode of learning in a virtual setting. Furthermore, Filipino parents

that are involved in learner school work may help motivate and engage
to the extent needed to its academic status (Garcia, 2018).
In 21st Century Learning, children have a broader vision of good
and well-developed learning. This could help learners achieve different
21st Century skills that make learners stronger and ready to face the
challenge of the future. Hence, parents have important positions in
ensuring the best support for their children’s specific learning needs.
Further, there is a negative impact on teaching, learning, and the future
of learners when parents lack participation. Bartolome and Mamat
(2020) support that we must consider the use of parental involvement
strategies as variables or indicators as these may have a bigger impact
on children’s schooling. Moreover, the study revealed that meaningful
home-school interaction and structured at-home learning. Thus, it is
important to study and understand the value of parental involvement to
our learners.

This action research will be distributed to the Basic Education

Department of Cor Jesu College, Inc. If approved, this will be utilized as
a basis for the integration of evaluation of answers modules in the
Plans for teaching-learning process. We will propose, for a wider scope, in the
Dissemination Division Office to serve as a research material. The results of this
and Advocacy action research will be of great help to the education sector in
determining existing problems in the academe and to come up with
necessary interventions to address these problems.
