Abstract:
Parents are the child’s first teachers who mould the child’s character since a child’s education starts at home. This mixed-method study design aims to describe the impact of the vital role of education on children’s development from the 2 projects, “Nanay-Tatay: An Alternative Home-Based Instruction and the “Nanay-Tatay: Ang Unang Magtutudlo” as an extension program in Barangay Nangka, Balamban, Cebu, Philippines, that is designed to help parents who lack education in teaching micro-skills using home-based instruction. It employed a questionnaire, unstructured interviews, and focus group discussions in gathering data. Consequently, this study employed the logic model of monitoring and evaluation (M&E) framework to generate the theory of change in empowering parents’ first-hand education, home-based instruction as the first teacher to their children. Quantitative results showed that participants had gained significant experiences with the various activities offered by extensionists and project implementers. On the other hand, the significant responses of the participants were analyzed through thematic analysis, and the five (5) themes emerged in the study: sense of gratitude, increase of learning, application and transference of learning, change of behavior, and importance of communication. Consequently, a theory of change was generated in this study. As a result, the extension program had helped the parents empower themselves as the first teacher to their children, which helped boost their children’s academic performance. It is recommended that the same logic model of monitoring and evaluation framework is recommended to be used in various less developed communities, especially in communities with parents who lack education.
