Abstract:
This study aimed to determine the correlation between the influence of parental involvement on the self -help skills of kindergarten at the identified public elementary schools in Cebu province using descriptive-correlational research design. There were 162 parents and 5 teachers who are identified using sampling and answered the questionnaires on Parental Involvement and Self-help Skills of kindergarten learners. The data gathered were treated using frequency count, percentage, weighted mean, and Pearson’s r. The study revealed that most of the parent respondents were within the age range of 29-37 years old and were female with one to two children having a combined monthly family income of 10,000 and below. The teacher- respondents have age range of 31-39 years old who were female who had finished their master’s degree with the length of service of 6-10 years. It was found out that the parents had manifested involvement in the development of the self-help skills of the learners while the learners had also manifested the self-help skills. However, there was no significant relationship between parents’ involvement and the self-help skills of the learners. Thus, a self-help skills enhancement plan was recommended for adoption.
