CHAPTER 1 :
INTRODUCTION

1. Background of study
Parental involvement in their children's education appears to be crucial in encouraging
improved academic performance.Parents can be involved in many different ways,
including behavioural, cognitive, and personal participation.Without a doubt, parental
involvement in students' self esteem and also in academic motivation,mentioned by
Renuka(2021).However,the efficacy of parents in actively participating and providing
social support within the context of education development remains a relatively
overlooked aspect that requires greater scrutiny and emphasis.Consequently, there is a
pressing need to redefine and broaden the scope of parental engagement, allowing them
to play a comprehensive and integral role. Continuous and effective parental involvement
is imperative for enhancing the educational development process.In addition to being
strategic partners in academic accomplishment, parents should be actively involved in
addressing educational challenges that have an impact on the national education
development process. This means that parental participation needs to be
strengthened.This idea backs up the idea that parental involvement is a predictor of both
behavioural issues and academic success.(Nor Azila,Mahaliza,2023).

Other than that,research conducted by Keetanjaly,Suhaida,Su Luan and Arnida(2020)


looked more deeply into the development of children’s education have found parental
involvement as one of the most prominent indicators for school effectiveness .The
educational process extends beyond the confines of the school, it encompasses home and
community environments. To enhance parental engagement, the school serves as a
facilitator, offering a platform for parents to actively participate in the educational
journey, fostering transparency, and ensuring accountability.This is in line with the
aspirations contained in the Malaysia Blueprint 2013 -2025 (Keetanjaly,Suhaida,Su Luan
and Arnida ,2020). Consequently, the matter of parental involvement has garnered

significant scrutiny due to its role in fostering a positive impact on school-community
relationships. This, in turn, cultivates a collaborative support system, aiming to enhance
both student outcomes and overall school quality.

In summary,this research endeavors to investigate the multifaceted factors influencing


students’ academic outcomes,particularly focusing on the role of parental
involvement.The research underscores the efficacy of parents as active partcipants in
addressing educational issues and advocate for a broader scope of parental
engagement.Drawing on previous studies,it emphasizes parental involvement as a crucial
indicator for school effectiveness,aligning with educational aspirations outlined in the
Malaysia Blueprint 2013-2015.The study positions parental engagement not only as
predictor of academic achievement but also as a vital element in fostering positive
school-community relationship and collaborative support system for improved student
outcomes and overall school quality.

2. Problem Statement
In the educational landscape, the correlation between parental involvement and academic
performance is a focal point of investigation. Beyond simple encouragement, parents
contribute significantly through behavioral, cognitive, and personal engagement in their
children's educational journey. This research aims to address this gap by delving deeper
into the nuanced connections, providing a more specific understanding of how distinct
aspects of parental engagement influence academic success.However,there are specific
case where certain parents may lack awareness of how to actively contribute to and
enhance their child’s academic performance.
This research is carried out to express the problem which is :
i. The lack of support from parents is a problem for students’ education
ii. There is a detrimental effect on students' academic performance.
iii. Teacher encounter difficulties in collaborating with parents.

In previous research,Renuka A/p. (2021) claimed that evidence from current studies
demonstrates that students' information needs can be satisfied by advised and information
sharing between parents, friends, classmates, and teachers.According to Renuka A/p
(2021), the link has been shown to have a significant impact on academic motivation.
Therefore,the research underscores the multifaceted nature of proficiency needs,
indicating that a well-rounded support system encompassing advice and information from
various sources is essential. The collaborative efforts of teachers, parents, classmates, and
friends collectively create an environment that addresses the diverse learning styles and
requirements of students.

In addition,Ikhlas and Mokhtar (2022) have discovered that, in comparison to the roles
played by the community and the school, parents play a bigger and more significant
influence in their children's educational success. .In the comprehensive meta-analysis
study conducted, a robust and statistically significant positive correlation was identified
between parental involvement and academic learning outcomes. This noteworthy
connection delves into various crucial facets of parental engagement, encompassing the
dynamic relationships between parents and school authorities. Furthermore, the study
highlights the pivotal role of supervision within the home environment, emphasizing the
impact of parental guidance on a student's educational achievements. Additionally, the
analysis delves into the intricate details of parental attitudes and behaviors, underscoring
their influential role in shaping and enhancing the overall educational experience for their
children.

Therefore, addressing the identified challenges becomes imperative to uphold the


reputation of all stakeholders involved. Schools should prioritize strategies that not only
enhance teachers' ability to manage classrooms effectively but also foster a positive
collaboration with parents. The impact of parental support on students' academic
performance and overall well-being cannot be overstated. Therefore, to delve deeper into
these issues, this research aims to investigate the multifaceted relationship between
parental involvement, academic outcomes, and the challenges faced by teachers in
fostering effective collaboration with parents. Utilizing methodologies such as

questionnaires, observations, and student opinions, the study seeks to identify practical
solutions for improving parental support, mitigating the negative impact on academic
performance, and facilitating smoother teacher-parent interactions for the benefit of
student growth and development.

3. Significance of Study

This research identified problem statement underscores the critical issue of insufficient
parental support adversely affecting students' education, specifically pinpointing the
detrimental impact on academic performance.In order to help their children achieve better
academically, parents who are involved in their child's life also communicate with them
and work together with educators and the school. (Huda,Roza,Annizah(2020).Thus,The
significance of this study lies in its targeted exploration of the specific aspects of parental
support that are lacking, whether it be involvement in homework, communication with
teachers, or engagement in extracurricular activities. Beyond general support, this
research explores how specific parental behaviors, like regular communication with
teachers, participation in school events, and guidance in subject selection, directly impact
a student's academic performance during the crucial higher secondary years. By
examining these granular aspects, educators can tailor interventions to address precise
areas where parental engagement proves most impactful. This precision enables the
formulation of tailored interventions, addressing the identified gaps to directly enhance
students' educational experiences and outcomes.

Moreover, this research's importance extends to the granularity of understanding the


intricate relationship between limited parental support and specific academic challenges
faced by students. By delving into the details of this connection, the study has the
potential to uncover key areas where strategic interventions can yield the most significant
improvements. This precision not only acknowledges the existence of the problem but
also provides actionable insights for teachers, parents, and policymakers to implement
targeted measures that positively influence academic performance, addressing the root
causes of the issue.

Furthermore,the third layer of significance lies in dissecting the challenges teachers
encounter in collaborating with parents. The study's focus on understanding the specific
hurdles faced by teacher whether related to communication barriers, differing
expectations, or other factors offers practical insights. These insights can inform the
development of strategies that foster effective partnerships between teachers and parents,
creating a more collaborative educational environment. As a result of this research,
anticipate a comprehensive set of recommendations and evidence-based practices that not
only illuminate the challenges but also provide a roadmap for enhancing parental support,
improving academic performance, and fostering productive collaboration between
teachers and parents to create a more enriching educational experience for students.

CHAPTER 2
LITERATURE REVIEW
2.1 Introduction
In this chapter,it would be attempts to review the relevant literature research
related to parental involvement in higher secondary and its impact on academic
performance and motivation levels of student .

2.2 Concept of the parental involvement in higher secondary .


According to Huda,Roza,Annizah(2020) mentioned that parental involvement as
the way parents provide psychological and emotional support to their children, such as
providing motivation or doing activities together at home and at school. This is
apparently in line with the idea that parental involvement refers to being concerned or
emotionally connected. parental involvement as "the participation of parents in regular,
two-way and meaningful communication involving student academic learning and other
school activities, including ensuring that parents play an integral role in assisting their
child's learning; that parents are encouraged to be actively involved in their child's
education at school; that parents are full partners in their child's education and are
included, as appropriate, in decision-making and on advisory committees to assist in the
education of their child".

According to Ikhlas and Mokhtar (2022)discovered in their study that children's


education is impacted by parental participation.Parental participation in their children's
homework completion was the most beneficial element for language skills.Investigating
how parents communicate with their kids about school-related matters also produced
similar encouraging results.In addition, in their research also mentioned better academic
accomplishment in the school as a whole is also influenced by increased parental
involvement in volunteer work and the Parents and Teachers Association (PTA).The
involvement and attendance of parents in school-related events and teacher meetings had
a beneficial impact on the educational growth of the kids.

According to Azila and Mahaliza (2023) discovered in order to better understand
"how" parents can manage their engagement in the education development process, more
research and practices should be put into place. Parents' roles as school partners must be
empowered.It is necessary to take this action into consideration since parental
involvement matters, particularly when it comes to impacting academic accomplishment.

2.3 Impact on academic performance and motivation level of students.


According to Ikhlas and Mokhtar ( 2022) found that the involvement and attendance of
parents in school-related events and teacher meetings had a beneficial effect on the
educational growth of the kids. The study children's accomplishments in language and
mathematics were positively impacted by parental guidance and assistance with
homework at home.In addition,Their study seeks to determine whether a child's success
in mathematics is influenced by their attitude and behaviour towards learning. The study
compares parental participation with children's scores using data from the TIMSS 2015.
The study's findings show that parents' perceptions of mathematics have a positive and
significant impact on their engagement in math-related activities with their children.

Moreover,the involvement and attendance of parents in school-related events and teacher


meetings had a beneficial impact on the educational growth of the kids. Parental guidance
and assistance with homework at home also had a positive effect on the children under
study's proficiency in language and mathematics (Ikhlas, Mokhtar, 2022).).In addition,A
study conducted in 2022 by Ikhlas and Mokhtar in Malaysia revealed a strong association
between the academic achievement of children and the level of parental participation
among Indian parents.

According Renuka A/p (2021) believe that parents' involvement is an essential element
which is highly related to each other in determining every child's self-esteem and their
academic motivation. It has been said that parents' involvement is known as crucial
variable that could determine the better result in children's academic.She also mentioned
that parents' involvement is an essential element which is highly related to each other in

statistics.Therefore, qualitative studies typically have what, how, and why questions
to address research questions that involve the collection of qualitative data rather
than quantitative data. (Enas A.A. Islam ,A.I.Tahani, R.K.Bsharat ,2021).
ii. Quantitative Approach
Studies using quantitative methods look into the causes and mechanisms of
phenomenon variation.Statistical models and statistics are frequently used in quantitative
investigations to generate more objective analytical results. For quantitative analysis, the
researcher primarily gathers quantitative data.Research problems are addressed by
hypotheses, which call for the gathering of quantitative data. The hypotheses are then
articulated in a way that best satisfies the results of basic quantitative analyses.(Enas A.A
Islam,A.I.Tahani, R.K.Bsharat,2021).
3.3 Location of Study
A qualitative research endeavor will employ online interviews with two teachers and
two secondary school students, while the quantitative aspect will entail distributing
questionnaires to secondary school students in Sabah. The study aims to elucidate diverse
perspectives and approaches among secondary school teachers and students with a focus
on the impact of parental involvement and motivation levels . The choice of Sabah as the
study location is rooted in exploring how parental involvement relates to student
academic performance and motivation levels of student.

Addressing these challenges requires a
collaborative effort between teachers,
parents, and the community to create an
environment that actively supports and
encourages parental involvement in the
educational process in school and children.

B)1)Parents’ lack of awareness about the


vital of their involvement in their kids’s

education. Parents do have high
expectation towards their children’s
teachers in school and expecting teachers to
be the sole provider of their children’s
education.

2) Under-utilizing technology such as


mobile applications. I believe many are
grateful for the emergence of social media
and mobile applications that has eased
communication between school and home.
Applications such as WhatsApp and
Telegram is the most common applications
used by teachers/schools to reach out to
parents at home. However, I found that
teachers, have underutilized these
applications to merely providing parents
with the latest administrative
information,updates and instructions from
school. Consequently, parents become
passive consumers of endless input. What I
hope to see more is for teachers and parents
to communicate through this medium about
their children’s ongoing academic progress
as well as non-academic progress - social,
emotional , behavioral development.

2.Classroom Behavior:
Note any behavioral issues or challenges
students may exhibit, as these can be
indicators of broader issues that may
involve parental support.
B)Limited parental involvement on
students’ academic performance has led to
a few disadvantages and one of them is
students’ low motivation towards learning.
Limited parental involvement, ranges from
emotional, social and physical support.
Children who are emotionally, socially and
physically unsupported by their parents or
caretakers will directly affect their
motivation and perception towards
learning. In addition, parents’ inability to
provide and ignorance (also a form of
limited involvement) towards their
children’s nutrition intake through food
consuming is proven to lead to children’s
poor performance in academic.

3. Can you share instances where increased A)Indeed. Increased collaborations

student's home environment, enabling them
to tailor their teaching methods to
individual needs.
Joint efforts in addressing challenges,
setting academic goals, and reinforcing
positive behaviors create a more supportive
learning environment.
B)For the past few years, I have observed
positive impacts of increased collaboration
between teachers and parents. Through
consistent engagement and communication
between teachers and parents, many
children thrive in school. By
communicating their children’s strengths,
preferences, interests and behaviour at
home and school, both parties can better
comprehend and tailor better support to the
children. Many parents that I have engaged
with, have shown tremendous support in
their children’s academic and co-academic
activities, thus opened up more
opportunities and discovered their
children’s hidden qualities such as
leadership.

CHAPTER 5:
CONCLUSION,IMPLICATION AND RECOMMENDATION

5.1 Introduction
This chapter serves as the culmination of the study, encapsulating detailed
summaries, additional information, and thorough recommendations for future research. It
concludes by presenting a comprehensive overview of the study's findings, providing
valuable insights and directions for further exploration in subsequent research endeavors.

5.2 Conclusion of study


It can be concluded that secondary school students and teachers in Sabah are
aware of the impact of parental involvement on academic performance and motivation
levels. Parental involvement impacts the academic performance and motivation levels of
students. For example, insufficient parental involvement can detrimentally affect a
student's academic performance, leading to diminished motivation, suboptimal study
habits, and compromised emotional well-being, ultimately influencing overall learning
outcomes. Conversely, active parental engagement plays a pivotal role in reinforcing
positive behaviors and cultivating an environment conducive to learning.

Next, as a result of the findings of the study through quantitative and qualitative
data, it is summarized that secondary schools in Sabah emphasize the significance of
parental involvement in their learning. According to the research findings in quantitative
data, most respondents strongly agreed that parental involvement affects their
performance in school, and they also witnessed positive outcomes when their parents are
actively engaged in school-related activities. Additionally, the results indicated that
limited parental involvement had a negative impact on academic performance.
Consequently, some students did not prioritize their studies if their parents were not
involved, based on respondents' experiences in their schools.

36

No part of this document may be reproduced without written approval from UNITAR International University
Furthermore, the qualitative data from interviews revealed respondents' opinions
about their experiences with parental involvement on students' academic performance and
motivation levels. Teachers noted that parents often lack awareness of the importance of
their involvement in their children’s education, placing high expectations on teachers to
be the sole providers of education. Conversely, students strongly agreed that parental
involvement has a positive impact on their academic performance, as involved parents
can provide support such as tutors and reference materials.

In summary, parental involvement and its impact on academic performance and


motivation levels of students in higher secondary education nowadays need to be
emphasized. Ensuring parents are involved in their children’s education is essential. The
study findings demonstrate that parental involvement positively influences academic
performance and motivation, facilitating collaboration between teachers and parents for
better student outcomes.

5.3 Implication of study


As we know, this study is focused on secondary school students and teachers.
Therefore, the implications of this study will naturally be more focused on them. This
study offers implications in terms of academic performance and student motivation. This
is evident because when parents are involved in their children's education, it helps
students become more enthusiastic about learning and achieve better results in school.
Additionally, it is crucial to make parents aware that their involvement in their child's
education has a significant impact on academic performance and student motivation.

5.4 Limitation of Study


While conducting this study, the researcher experienced several difficulties.
Firstly, in Chapter 2, which encompasses the literature review, there was a scarcity of
previous studies related to Parental involvement in higher secondary education. This

37
All Rights Reserved
No part of this document may be reproduced without written approval from UNITAR International University
scarcity made it challenging for the researcher to obtain literature references relevant to
the conducted studies.
Some teachers declined interview sessions via video call or face-to-face due
to being on school holidays, while others lacked confidence in speaking English.
However, I am very grateful that my lecturer provided flexibility by allowing us to
conduct interview sessions via chat only.

5.5 Recommendation for Future Research


The researcher will present several suggestions regarding the involvement of
parents in secondary education, which has an impact on academic performance and
students' motivation levels and should be emphasized in the future.
The first suggestion,The study's limitations highlight the scarcity of researchers
examining the impact of parental involvement on students' academic performance and
motivation levels. Therefore, it is crucial for more researchers to delve into this topic in
greater depth to gain a more comprehensive understanding of its implications.
The second suggestion is that authorities, such as the Malaysian Ministry of
Education, need to ensure parental involvement in their children's education. For instance,
they could implement an awareness program about "The Impact of Parental Involvement
in Education" to educate parents who may not currently prioritize their children's
academic performance. This is crucial because parental involvement in education
significantly impacts students' academic performance and motivation levels.
