ABSTRACT
Parents’ involvement plays a vital role for student’s development. The sudden shift of the education system brought by the Covid-19 Pandemic from school-based learning to students learn at the comfort of their homes, puts every parent as significant role in facilitating students learning, particularly in the use of modular learning. This quantitative study was conducted to determine the correlation between parents’ involvement in modular learning and students’ mathematics performance of Grade 8 students of MSU-Buug Campus Laboratory Junior High School who were enrolled in A.Y.2022- 2023. The questionnaire-checklist was administered to the 53 respondents. The findings revealed that parents’ level of involvement in terms of 1.1 direct involvements is “Highly Involved” and 1.2 indirect involvements is “Highly Involved” and the level of their mathematics performance is “Very Satisfactory”. Statistical analysis showed that there is no significant correlation between direct parents’ involvement and students’ mathematics performance. It was further revealed that there is no significant correlation between indirect parents’ involvement in modular learning and students’ mathematics performance among Grade 8 students of MSU-Buug Campus Laboratory Junior High School. Therefore, the students' learning is based on their own intelligence and not affected by the amount of involvement of their parents. It is suggested that parents are encouraged to create a conducive learning environment at home for a better concentration of their children in learning Mathematics.
