Abstract:
How schools engage with children and parents, including parenting practices, plays a crucial role in students’ development at home and school. Using a descriptive-correlational research design, this study examined how parenting styles (authoritative, authoritarian, and permissive) affect the behavior and academic achievement of Grade 12 academic achievers at Divine Word College of San Jose. A validated researcher-made questionnaire was distributed to 92 Grade 12 academic achievers to gather insights into their experiences with various parenting styles. The results reveal that even though most students continued to excel academically, the way that parents behaved significantly influenced their students’ behavior. Authoritative parenting correlated with academic success and well-adjusted behavior, while authoritarian parenting produced disciplined but sometimes inflexible students. In contrast, permissive parenting showed mixed results: while some students demonstrated self-motivation and academic discipline, others lacked both. There was a significant relationship between parenting styles and, based on statistical analysis, student behavior (p = 0.042) and academic achievement (p = 0.049). Notably, permissive parenting impacted behavior (p = 0.049) and academic achievement (p = 0.050), whereas authoritative and authoritarian parenting showed no statistically significant effects. The results underscore the need for balanced parenting, emphasizing discipline and emotional support. The findings highlight the importance of balanced parenting approaches in fostering positive behavior and academic success. While different parenting styles exist, ensuring a structured yet supportive environment is crucial for helping students reach their full potential. Educators and parents may work together to create an environment that promotes students’ learning, self-discipline, and holistic development.
