Keywords:
Teacher, Parental Supervision, Academic PerformanceAbstract
his study determined the relationship between teacher and parental supervision and the academic performance of Grade VI pupils of four complete elementary schools in San Jorge District, San Jorge, Samar during the school year 2006-2007. The study employed the descriptive-correlational research design in determining whether the extent of supervision provided by the teachers and parents on their children’s studies is related to the academic performance of the pupils. The relationship between the extent of supervision provided by parents on pupils’ studies along five areas of supervision such as, disciplinary control, behavioral guidance, counseling and encouragement, instructional assistance and attendance in school activities and academic performance of pupils in the District Achievement Test (DAT) proved to be not significant, which resulted to the acceptance of the corresponding hypothesis. The extent of supervision provided by teachers on pupils’ studies along five areas of supervision, disciplinary control, behavioral guidance, counseling and encouragement, instructional assistance and attendance in school activities was significantly related to the academic performance of pupils in the District Achievement Test (DAT). The relationship between the extent of supervision provided by parents on pupils’ studies along five areas of supervision, disciplinary control, behavioral guidance, counseling and encouragement, instructional assistance and attendance in school activities is not significantly related to the academic performance of pupils in the District Achievement Test (DAT). For the recommendation, the training in school should complement what is being given at home, thus the school and home value system should be the same.
