The ability to read is highly valued and important for social and economic advancement. This aspect is also one where parental involvement may be of help, aside from building active networks in the community. This study, therefore, determined the extent to which parents’ involvement affects their children’s reading ability. Using the descriptive-correlational method, parental involvement in parenting, communicating, volunteering, learning at home, decision-making and collaborating with community was correlated with the reading ability of grade six students in F. Bustamante Central Elementary School, Tibungco District, Davao City. The parents displayed a mean moderate involvement in their children’s education while the reading ability of grade six students showed a frustration level in oral reading and silent reading. There was a significant relationship between parental involvement in education and reading ability of grade six students, indicating that the respondents’ parenting, communicating, volunteering, learning at home, decision-making and collaborating with community are not guarantees that the reading ability of grade six students will be developed.Keywords: Language, Reading ability, parental involvement, descriptive-correlational design, Philippines

Parents play a vital role in increasing the performance and ensuring the good manners of their children in school. In the context of Indigenous People (IP), parental participation in educating their children is a meaningful involvement that benefits student learning directly. This study aims to determine the parental involvement of indigenous people in selected elementary schools in Northern Part of Mindanao, Philippines. The study specifically identified the profile of the IP parents, parents’ contributory factors and involvement on the aspect of communication, learning at home, and financial support. The extent of parental involvement on the behavior of their children and significant relationship between respondents’ profile were also measured. The study utilized a descriptive-quantitative method to explore how the IP parents extend their support to their children through survey, actual visitation and interview to validate the accuracy of the data gathered. Selected IP parents from IP elementary schools were surveyed using a researcher-made questionnaire as the main tool in the study.  Data were analyzed using frequency counting, simple percentage, weighted mean, and Pearson R correlation. The IP parents fall to marginal classification in terms of educational background (45.83% are elementary undergraduate) with monthly income of less than fifteen thousand (less than the minimum wage). Regardless of race and background, IP parents’ instincts are the same with common parents in supporting their children in school-related activities. However, issues on communication, learning at home, and financial support extended by IP parents to their children still need to be improved. In addition, parents’ involvement influence academic endeavor of the students because they are given chances to enjoy the opportunity of free and supportive education. Thus, parents should constantly monitor the performance of their children at school to help them improve in their studies and build confidence to do better.

The study focuses on exploring the parents’ understanding of their involvement in schooling processes based on the six typologies of Epstein. The categories of the study were based on the typologies of Epstein consisting of parenting, communicating, volunteering, learning at home, decision-making, and collaboration with the community. Parent involvement in an Aceh school is a crucial issue which needs to be studied. This research provides an analysis of parents’ understanding of their involvement in schooling processes, what different kinds of ways parents/homes and school communicate between each other, and whose parents are frequently involved in schooling. There are several barriers parent involvement in schooling, such as work demands, reluctance to attend the school, lack of communication with the school, and parents’ perception of their involvement. The  reason  behind  parent  involvement  in  schooling  processes can  be  explained  with attribution  theory. The findings indicated that parent involvement in schooling processes in Aceh is low. In addition, the motivation of parents to be involved in schooling  processes was related  to  their  own  motives, such  as  merely  to  fulfill their  obligation  as  a  parent  in  rearing  the  children.[Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengeksplorasi pemahaman orang tua tentang keterlibatan mereka dalam proses pendidikan berdasarkan enam tipologi Epstein. Kategori penelitian ini berdasarkan tipologi Epstein terdiri dari pola asuh, komunikasi, relawan, pembelajaran di rumah, pengambilan keputusan, dan kolaborasi dengan masyarakat. Keterlibatan orang tua di Aceh merupakan isu penting yang perlu diperhatikan. Penelitian ini memberikan analisis tentang pemahaman orang tua tentang keterlibatan mereka dalam proses pendidikan, bagaimana cara orang tua dan sekolah berkomunikasi satu sama lain, dan apakah ayah atau ibu yang dominan terlibat dalam pendidikan anak mereka. Ada beberapa hambatan keterlibatan orang tua di sekolah, seperti tuntutan kerja, keengganan untuk bersekolah, kurang komunikasi dengan sekolah, dan persepsi orang tua terhadap keterlibatan mereka dalam proses pendidikan. Alasan di balik keterlibatan orang tua dalam proses pendidikan dapat dijelaskan dengan teori atribusi. Penelitian ini menemukan bahwa keterlibatan orang tua dalam proses pendidikan di Aceh rendah. Selain itu, motivasi orang tua untuk terlibat dalam proses pendidikan itu terkait dengan motivasi mereka sendiri, seperti semata-mata memenuhi kewajibannya sebagai orang tua dalam membesarkan anak.]
