CHAPTER 1

THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND

Introduction

STEM is an approach in learning that integrates (Science, Technology,

Engineering, Mathematics) through the STEM strand Senior High school Students are

exposed to complex mathematical and science theories and concepts which will serve as a

foundation for their college courses. Belle, as cited by Amrad et al., (2021) stated that the

availability of highly qualified scientists, technologists, engineers, and mathematicians is

seen as vital in ensuring economic prosperity, but students are being 'switched off' and

disengaging from science, technology, engineering, and mathematics STEM

examinations beyond compulsory schooling.

STEM Students globally are facing a risk of over expectation on their academic

performance. Krypel & King (2012) stated that many people think that STEM students

must Excel fully at everything rather than survive the path that they are in, for the fact

that they are in an Academic Track, thus STEM students should be aware that they are

expected to be engaged in meticulous studying. Moreover, over expectation has been

shown to have a negative impact on students' personal and academic growth in higher

education. Despite the fact that moderate optimism has been shown to be beneficial for

maintaining achieving motivation. However, overly optimistic expectations concerning

one’s academic performance has also been observed to have negative consequences in

achievement settings.

There is currently a significant body of research confirming that parental

participation in school education has a positive influence on students’ academic


GODOFREDO M. TAN INTEGRATED SCHOOL OF ARTS AND TRADES
Brgy. Pagkakaisa, San Narciso, Quezon
Senior High School Department

achievement. However, more research is needed concerning how the different expectation

of parents’ and parents’ demographic characteristics influence academic achievement in

STEM subjects, especially considering empirical evidence from Philippine social context.

The role of parental expectations in affecting children's academic progress has

received substantial attention from psychologists and sociologists over the past half

century. In general, parental expectations have been found to play a critical role in

children's academic success. Students whose parents hold high expectations receive

higher grades, achieve higher scores on standardized tests, and persist longer in school

than do those whose parents hold relatively low expectations (Davis-Kean 2005; Pearce

2006; Vartanian et al. 2007). High parental expectations are also linked to student

motivation to achieve in school, scholastic and social resilience, and aspirations to attend

college (Hossler and Stage 1992; Peng and Wright 1994; Reynolds 1998). Furthermore,

parents' academic expectations mediate the relation between family background and

achievement, and high parental expectations also appear to buffer the influence of low

teacher expectations on student achievement (Benner and Mistry 2007; Zhan 2005).

Parental expectations, according to Carly Seifert (2017), help their children set good

standards for themselves and encourage them to thrive with excellence and develop their

self-esteem; however, if parents set unrealistic expectations for their children, it tends to

have a negative effect on their performances due to too much pressure their parents put on

them.

The future of a child is the biggest concern to a parent. Since the educational

institutes in our country are always on the lookout for the brightest and best students to

maintain their reputation, parents feel compelled to raise the bar too high for their

students to match up to the standards. Parents nowadays are too concerned about how the
GODOFREDO M. TAN INTEGRATED SCHOOL OF ARTS AND TRADES
Brgy. Pagkakaisa, San Narciso, Quezon
Senior High School Department

world would perceive their students which in turn results in parental pressure. The idea of

excellence and success is often generalized by parents based on how others are

performing. Apart from academics, children are also bogged down by rising expectations

in various areas where they have their own interests like sports, music, arts, etc. Hence,

without giving care to the wholesome development of a student, parents keep on pushing

the boundaries that ultimately leads to stress, disappointment, anxiety and suicides. In a

study conducted on 190 students from grade 11 to 12 from 3 private schools in Kolkata

and 3 government-aided schools, it was found out that almost two-thirds of the students

experienced pressure from their parents to perform better academically (Delhi, 2020).

Parental expectation is sometimes good but it often affects the child's individuality and by

this it affects the academic performance also. Many parents have high expectations

towards their child’s academic performance. But parental expectation differs from one

another. There is no other way for children other than accepting the favor of parents.

The Researchers are currently enrolled in the academic track of the Science,

Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) strand at the Godofredo M. Tan

Integrated School of Arts and Trades (GMTISAT). In this regard, the researcher selected

a study that tries to shed light on the impact that parents' expectations have on STEM

students. This could serve as motivation for the students. This research also seeks to

inform parents of STEM students about how their expectations may impact their kids'

physical, emotional, and mental health.

Statement of the Problem

This study aims to determine the level of expectations of parents towards Gr.11

STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) students with regard on


GODOFREDO M. TAN INTEGRATED SCHOOL OF ARTS AND TRADES
Brgy. Pagkakaisa, San Narciso, Quezon
Senior High School Department

their Academic performance. This seeks to provide information with the following

question:

1. What is/are the level of Parental expectation towards Gr. 11 STEM students in their

academic performance?

2. What are the effects of expectations towards STEM students in terms of their;

2.1 Mental health

2.2 Physical health

2.3 Emotional health

3. What are the strategies employed by the STEM students to manage those expectations?

4. Based on the result of study, what suggested programs can you give to improve the

academic performance of STEM students.

Scope and limitations of the Study

The study will generate knowledge about the sides and views of parents towards

the STEM students and if the reality of the STEM students meets the expectations of the

parents in terms of their academic performance. This Study will determine the level and

effects of expectation that is said to be the cause of overconfidence on the Gr. 12 STEM

student’s academic performance. Students will monitor themselves and take more

responsibility. However, other research says giving students a high expectation can give

them depressions and can cause low self-esteem. (Amrad et al., 2021)

Significance of the study


GODOFREDO M. TAN INTEGRATED SCHOOL OF ARTS AND TRADES
Brgy. Pagkakaisa, San Narciso, Quezon
Senior High School Department

The researchers believed that the significance of the study lies primarily in its

potential contribution and will benefit both parents of the STEM students themselves.

Also, this study would help in understanding these individuals, and how this study would

be beneficial to the following:

The Students in STEM fields, this research will assist in understanding the

perspectives and perspectives of their parents and may serve as an inspiration to other

students.

The Parents, this study will make the parents of STEM students must be aware in

their children about their schoolwork. It is important for parents to understand what their

children are going through because studying STEM is not always easy.

The Future Researchers, they can utilize this as a guide for determining how

parental expectation affects their child’s Mental, Physical, and Emotional health.

The Teachers, this study will be beneficial to the STEM teachers. Through this

study, teachers may purposefully discover how Parental expectation might affect their

Students’ Mental, Physical, and Emotional health and their Academic performance.

The Researchers, this study is of great help for the researchers themselves

because as a student who’s currently studying at GMTISAT under the Academic Track,

STEM strand we will know how our Parent’s expectation might affect our Mental,

Physical, and Emotional health and our Academic performance as well.

Definition of terms

For the clarity of the study and to guide and enlighten the readers, the following

terminologies are hereby defined both conceptually and operationally.

institution has met their short- or long-term educational goals (CGPA).

Expectation. It rrefers to the perception of parents towards STEM student’s

academic performance.

Parents. These are a person who brings up and cares for another. However, being

a parent does not necessarily mean that you biologically passed your genetics to a child.

A parent can take on different forms, such as stepparent, grandparent, legal guardian, or a

combination.

CHAPTER II

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE AND STUDIES

This chapter presents the literature and studies connected to this study, after the

thorough and in-depth research done by the researchers. This also presents the ideas,

summary of the findings, generalization or conclusions, methodologies and others. Those

were included in this chapter helps familiarizing information that are relevant and similar

to the present study.

Related Literatures

Having parental expectations helps students achieve excellent marks in their

studies. It also enables them to give their all in all academic accomplishments. Parental

expectations assist them in reaching their goals and improving their learning. Having the

parent's expectations of the kid inspires them not just to do the easiest thing, but also to

do the best thing, and it also affects the child not to be lazy as mentioned by The National

Teachers College.

In relation to this, The socialization of academically relevant child behaviors,

beliefs, and talents has been theorized to be significantly influenced by parents'

expectations for their children's ultimate educational accomplishment. In addition to

social transmission of educationally important beliefs from parents to children, there may

be a bidirectional relationship between parental expectations and their child’s features.

They test this theory using twin data from the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study-Birth
GODOFREDO M. TAN INTEGRATED SCHOOL OF ARTS AND TRADES
Brgy. Pagkakaisa, San Narciso, Quezon
Senior High School Department

and Kindergarten cohorts that are both longitudinal and genetically informative.

According to their behavior genetic findings, parental expectations partially reflect child

genetic variance even when the child is just 4 years old. These kid-to-parent impacts were

thought to be influenced by two types of child characteristics: behavioral tendencies

(approaches to learning and problem behaviors), and achievement (math and reading).

They discovered within-twin-pair connections between these child traits and parental

expectations using behavior genetic model research. They came to the conclusion that

initial variation in a child's traits affects future educational expectations above and

beyond past educational expectations by using longitudinal cross-lagged models. These

findings are in line with transactional frameworks where child-to-parent and parent-to-

child effects co-occur Briley et al., (2013)

Academic performance is influenced by students' motivation levels. according to

Koh, Tan and Fang (2010) They discussed the relationship between academic

achievement and student motivation. The purpose of their study was to look into how

SBL affected students' motivation and their academic standing. The researchers used a

framework based on the following criteria to gauge students' motivation which is the Self-

efficacy Theory (SET), selected due to its thorough coverage of the link between students'

motivation and how their needs are seen to be met. The research seduced that SBL will

increase students' motivation since it gives students dynamic learning experiences and

effectiveness. According to their findings, the students believed that their psychological

requirements were High degrees of self-determined motivation and satisfaction. Students

who participated in SBL had greater mean exam scores for performance, while SBL may

have varying effects on students based on elements include IT knowledge, educational

background, and gender.

The STEM Field

[4.] The society had been aware of a large number of situations when college

student  who received their degrees in STEM fields (science, technology, engineering,

and mathematics)  As they arrived in college, they began selecting a non-STEM field as

their major . The fact that the majority of students who attended college with a goal of

pursuing a STEM field career program would either drop out of school, pick a non-STEM

field of study, or abandon the original choice. The Higher Education Research Institute

(2010) also reported a 20% to 50% of student dropout rates in STEM fields of higher

education. This is a specific example of how society is, there are now a labor shortage in

STEM fields Rafanan (2020).

Perception of Students in STEM Field

According to Finegold, Stagg, & Hutchinson (2011), how students see their

possible occupations and potential wages may have an impact on how interested they

become in STEM fields. Southeast Asian women, especially the Chinese and Filipino,

were more likely than White women to major in STEM due to the influence of potential

earnings. Where subject instructors regard preparing students for the workforce as an

essential component of their professional duty and where they possess the professional

skills and confidence to act on this, better STEM career activity results. In relation to that,

The various research pertaining to the elements influencing high school students'

perceptions when selecting the STEM strand were the focus of the review of the pertinent

literature for this study. A major connection between science, technology, engineering,

and mathematics was intended to be exemplified by the acronym STEM. Compared to

other strands, the STEM strand concentrates on more complex ideas and subjects.
GODOFREDO M. TAN INTEGRATED SCHOOL OF ARTS AND TRADES
Brgy. Pagkakaisa, San Narciso, Quezon
Senior High School Department

Students that choose this program could pursue careers as pilots, architects,

astrophysicists, biologists, chemists, engineers, dentists, nutritionists, nurses, doctors, and

even marine engineers (Bolds, 2017; Patton, 2013).

Pursuing STEM-related Careers

Regarding the knowledge and experiences of the students, Franco and Patel

(2017) identify five linked categories: students' conceptions of engagement, obstacles to

engagement, teachers' facilitation of engagement, course assignments and engagement,

and facilitation of content usefulness. According to Trusty (2002), encouraging students

to enroll in the most academically demanding math courses, such as trigonometry, pre-

calculus, and calculus, has an impact on the likelihood that women will choose a STEM

major. Future career choice in a STEM profession is predicted by a strong, positive

STEM identity (Martin-Hasen, 2018).

According to Rask (2010), the STEM curriculum is quite expensive in terms of

one's motivation and possibilities for future employment. One of the most sought-after

concentrations in DepEd's senior high school is STEM education. More children became

more competitive thanks to the K–12 curriculum, notably in the fields of science and

technology, engineering, and mathematics using advanced concepts and themes. As a

result, the Philippine educational system is always evolving, which also makes students'

chances of success abroad greater. But a lot of STEM students fail to complete their

chosen jobs due to a lack of financial possibilities, family support, and other issues.

Related studies

[1.] In the study of Tus (2021) He specifically established an awareness that

parental participation or the relationship between the Parents and their child should be
GODOFREDO M. TAN INTEGRATED SCHOOL OF ARTS AND TRADES
Brgy. Pagkakaisa, San Narciso, Quezon
Senior High School Department

recognized as a chance for improvement by parents and academic institutions. Improving

parental participation would benefit students in general. This may be achieved by

exchanging parental data such as children's health, nutrition, order, and immaturity. As a

result, their study recommended that schools should aim to absorb and integrate students'

families. The advantages of the parenting sort of inclusion to the students’ incorporates

enhanced control, enhanced school participation, expanded learning time, and

understanding the importance of schooling later in life. In addition, students' academic

work monitoring may raise students' anxiety about the student's performance, but not in

terms of academic performance, School accomplishment is directly and favorably related

to parental expectations and children's performance, and adversely related to parental

involvement to tasks and orientation toward goals and objectives.

Their research looked on the relationship between parental engagement and

academic success among the students the following results reached: The parents were still

building their participation in school, particularly during this difficult period.

Furthermore, the level of academic performance revealed that the mean academic

performance score of the respondents was highly good. This demonstrated that the

students did well in class while using online learning modes. Furthermore, even if there is

no correlation between the factors, it is urged that parents be responsible for giving advice

and supervision to their children, particularly during online learning modalities. They also

urged that parents empower, engage, and lead their children with the principles of the first

educators.

[2.] Based on the Conclusion and Discussion of the study conducted by Blair

(2014) A Comparison of Filipino and U.S. Parents. Filipino parents were proven to have

strict regulations for their children, implying that Filipino children are expected to follow
GODOFREDO M. TAN INTEGRATED SCHOOL OF ARTS AND TRADES
Brgy. Pagkakaisa, San Narciso, Quezon
Senior High School Department

their parents' rules. Filipino parents were also shown to spend a great deal of time with

their children each week. This is rather amazing in and of itself given that many Filipino

employees' paid labor positions make it impossible for them to spend significant amounts

of time at home with their family. Even in terms of volunteering at their children's

schools, the parents were quite involved. In general, Filipino parents aided their children

with academics, attended activities with their children.

[3.] On the conclusion of the study conducted by Moneva and Moncada (2020)

they confirmed that authoritative parenting is the motivation that parents instill in their

children to attain a goal. On the one hand, student self-efficacy is the students' confidence

that they can do any assignment effectively. Furthermore, their survey employed a likert

scale and was done in September 2019 among 245 students at Jagobiao National High

School. According to the findings of their study, parents have high expectations for their

children's academic performance. On the other hand, it was shown that the parents had

little attention and went to school infrequently to check their children's school grades and

performance. In terms of student self-efficacy, however, they claimed that they can

always deal if they work hard enough, they can solve complex challenges. However,

when it comes to dealing with unexpected situations, they lack self-efficacy. According to

the study's findings given in Pearson Chi-square, there is a strong relationship between

the two variables parental pressure and student self-efficacy.

[4.] Yamamoto and Holloway (2010) Confirmed that Parental expectations has an

impact on students' academic results through a number of ways, some of which may be

particularly potent for a certain racial/ethnic group. They identified four such mechanisms

associated with high parental expectations: (a) child internalization of parents'

achievement valuation; (b) child's higher competency beliefs; (c) more intensive and
GODOFREDO M. TAN INTEGRATED SCHOOL OF ARTS AND TRADES
Brgy. Pagkakaisa, San Narciso, Quezon
Senior High School Department

effective parental involvement; and (d) more optimistic and positive teacher perceptions

of child's capabilities. They next analyze the evidence for each of these processes and

why a specific mechanism may operate differently for racial/ethnic minority households

than for European American families.

[5.] On the Discussion and Conclusion studied by Tatlah (2019) he found out that

it is determined by the outcomes of the students that a statistically significant high

positive relationship between parental expectations the academic achievement of students

are prove. On the other hand, a substantial there is a slight positive link between pupils'

intellectual self-concept and academic excellence this is the end outcome.

[6.] Based on the Conclusion and Discussion of the study conducted by Blair

(2014) The findings of her study clearly show that Filipino parents are very interested in

their children's lives. There is no question that Filipino parents are invested in their

children's education and want them to succeed; but, the filial duties ingrained in their

culture may sometimes require parents to prioritize the needs of the family over the needs

of the individual kid. This seeming discrepancy would be unacceptable in American

culture, yet it is totally proper and the standard in Filipino culture. Existing models that

depict the transfer of family wealth as solely from parents to children, particularly during

the child and teenage years, must clearly account for such cultural variances. More

foreign samples should be examined in future research.

[7.] On the Conclusion and Discussion of the literature studied by Warikoo et al.,

(2020) on Asian American students, mental health, and violence prevention those who are

concerned about parental academic pressure negatively harming Asian American

adolescents should turn to parenting. Furthermore, it implies that concerns about the

negative impact of so-called tiger parenting are incorrect when high aspirations are
GODOFREDO M. TAN INTEGRATED SCHOOL OF ARTS AND TRADES
Brgy. Pagkakaisa, San Narciso, Quezon
Senior High School Department

emphasized. Instead, talks about Asian American adolescents and their mental health

outcomes should center on the parent-child connection and how to enhance it. Indeed,

they found that the same is true for white American families, implying that a separate

body of literature focusing on upper-middle-class "intensive parenting".

[8.] In relation to this, Mueller and Abrutyn (2016); Nelson (2010) stated that we

should consider the relative importance of parent-child relationships and parent

expectations when discussing the potentially negative impact of intensive parenting. On

the other hand, In terms of parent-level predictors, Asian American pupils in

general reported having less positive interactions with their parents than their white

counterparts. White males and white females exhibited equal levels of parent

expectations, whereas Asian American males and females diverged. Asian American

males, in particular, reported higher expectations than Asian American females, both in

terms of direct self-report of parental expectations and reports of the types of grades they

thought their parents would be upset by (i.e., Asian American males were more likely

than Asian American females to report parents being upset by A/B grades)

[9.] The findings of the study conducted by M. J. and Davinson were consistent

with the findings of a large number of other studies, which indicated a positive moderate

correlation between parent expectations for their children's long-term educational

attainment and successful school outcomes. In this study, parent reported school results

(grades, moving up a grade level each year, and acceptable behavior) for middle school

and high school students were influenced by parent expectations to a greater extent than

by parent-school ties. Additionally, the family SES, children's ethnicity, and family

structure had smaller path coefficients than the expectations of parents regarding their

children's academic performance.

Senior High School Department

[10.] According to the research examined by Li, Y., Hu, T., Ge, & Auden, E.

(2019). middle school pupils in mainland China's academic performance, family

educational expectations, and home-based parental involvement; the impact of parental

involvement on student academic performance; and the mediating function that in this

relationship, cognitive capacity has a role. First, they discovered that parental homework

supervision, proactive school-related conversation with kids, kid-time, and having high

expectations for kids' future education levels were all linked favorably to kids' academic

success. In contrast, parental tutoring and rigorous discipline showed a negative

association with academic success, whereas financial investment had no discernible

relationship with academic performance. their study's findings also show that among the

seven aspects Education expectations for children have the biggest impact on parental

participation, followed by tutoring and homework monitoring. The impact is lessened

when talking to children, engaging in activities with them, and exercising discipline.

Steinmayr (2014) Confirmed that, comprehensive research has shown that

parental expectations and adolescent academic performance have a beneficial association.

However, little attention has been made to the harmful impact of parental expectations on

the emotional well-being of teenagers. The current study looked at the consequences of

high parental expectations on teenage academic achievement as well as depression.

Furthermore, it investigated whether these associations may be mediated by teenagers'

values of academic achievement, self-efficacy, and parental and school support.

1. Academic achievement refers to performance results that demonstrate how far a person

has progressed toward specified goals that were the focus on activities in instructional

settings, such as school, college, and university. Most school systems establish cognitive

goals that apply across numerous subject areas (for example, critical thinking) or
GODOFREDO M. TAN INTEGRATED SCHOOL OF ARTS AND TRADES
Brgy. Pagkakaisa, San Narciso, Quezon
Senior High School Department

encompass the development of information and comprehension in a single intellectual

domain (e.g., numeracy, literacy, science and history).

The exploration of academic achievement has led to numerous empirical studies

and fundamental advances such as the development of the first intelligence. Introductory

textbooks provide theoretical and empirical insight into the determinants of academic

achievement and its assessment. However, because academic achievement is a broad

topic, several textbooks have focused primarily on selected aspects Steinmayr et al.,

(2014).

2. Self-efficacy, one of the most popular theories is self-efficacy theory. It is the most

current in a long line of personal competency or efficacy theories, and it has produced

more study in clinical, social, and personality psychology in the last decade and a half

than previous models and theories (Bandura, 1977, 1982-1986 pg. 4).

Beliefs in self-efficacy and associated Human adaptation and adjustment are

influenced by a variety of factors. Because humans experience a variety of adaptation

challenges, this volume defines adaptation widely and does not restrict the word to

traditional pathology-based categories or problems of traditional "clinical" concern, albeit

such issues are discussed. Moreover, self-efficacy theory and its role within a broader

social cognitive framework with this notion the importance of self-efficacy in human

adaptation and adjustment, as well as some basic principles for improving adaptation and

adjustment using self-efficacy theory. The subsequent theory and research on applying

self-efficacy theory to various areas of adjustment, such as clinical psychology, health

psychology, educational psychology, and organizational psychology Maddux (1995).

3. Parental and School support, According to this hypothesis, children whose parents are

interested in their schooling are more likely to acquire a strong, positive feeling of
GODOFREDO M. TAN INTEGRATED SCHOOL OF ARTS AND TRADES
Brgy. Pagkakaisa, San Narciso, Quezon
Senior High School Department

efficacy for accomplishing achievement in school-related activities than children whose

parents are not involved. Whilst, school support refers to a wide range of instructional

approaches, educational services, or school resources offered to children in an effort to

help them accelerate their learning progress, catch up with their peers, reach learning

requirements, or thrive in school in general. When the word "School support" is used in

educational situations without qualification, specific examples, or more explanation, it

might be difficult to identify exactly what it means. The phrases support or supports can

also apply to a variety of academic-support initiatives. The glossary of education reform

(2013). On the other hand Sewell et al., as cited by Ramos 2016) defined that “parental

expectation” theory is a motivating idea that is frequently used to explain educational

setting, viewing the student as an active participant in the formative process rather than a

passive subject. The second theoretical paradigm assumes that parents have a substantial

influence on adolescents' educational and vocational success, generally through their

impact on those teenagers' educational and occupational aspirations. Parents improve

their children's chances of academic success by having high expectations for their

children's performance and socializing their children to internalize those high educational

standards driving them to succeed in an educational setting. This study investigates the

effects of internalized high academic expectations combined with a stressful school

environment that has become a constant source of negative self-feeling
