POSSIBLE QUESTIONS

1.Could you elaborate on how you operationalized parental involvement and assessed its impact on
the academic achievement of Grade 11 students at Our Lady of Fatima University?
In our study, we operationalized parental involvement through several key measures. Firstly, we
examined the extent of parental support provided to students, including assistance with homework,
encouragement, and provision of academic resources such as books and materials.
Secondly, we looked at parental engagement in school-related activities, such as attending parent-
teacher meetings, participating in school events, and volunteering in school programs. This helped us
gauge the level of direct involvement parents had in the educational environment of their children.
Additionally, we considered parental monitoring of academic progress, which involved tracking
students' performance, discussing their academic goals, and communicating with teachers to stay
informed about their child's educational journey.

parental involvement in your study?
We'll conduct interviews and focus group discussions with Grade 11 students at Our Lady of Fatima
University to understand their experiences with parental involvement. Through open-ended questions,
we'll explore how students feel when their parents are involved in their education and what more
parents could do to support their academic success. We'll then analyze the data using thematic
analysis to identify recurring themes and insights related to parental involvement.
