Home Learning Support and Parenting Style as Factors in the Academic Performance of Grade 1 Learners of Hinatuan North Central Elementary School, Schools Division of Surigao del Sur: A Descriptive-Correlational Approach

This study examined the relationship between home learning support, parenting style, and academic achievement among Grade 1 learners at Hinatuan North Central Elementary School, Schools Division of Surigao del Sur, during School Year 2025–2026. Employing a quantitative descriptive-correlational research design, the study involved 74 parents or guardians whose responses were analyzed alongside learners’ academic achievement obtained from official school records. Data were gathered using structured questionnaires and analyzed through weighted mean, standard deviation, ranking, and Pearson product-moment correlation. Findings revealed that home learning support was very high (M = 3.4500, SD = 0.6051), with learning resources and study conditions receiving the highest rating, while homework guidance and feedback ranked lowest. Parenting style was generally high (M = 2.5240, SD = 0.5900), with authoritative parenting obtaining the highest mean and permissive parenting the lowest. Learners demonstrated high academic achievement (M = 90.1351, SD = 3.2993), with 63.5% classified as Outstanding. However, correlation analysis revealed no statistically significant relationship between home learning support and academic achievement (r = 0.0707, p = 0.5496) or between parenting style and academic achievement (r = 0.0968, p = 0.4118). Both relationships were very weak and positive. The study concluded that although parents reported substantial learning support and structured parenting practices, these factors were not significantly associated with learners’ recorded academic performance. The findings highlight the importance of strengthening home-school collaboration, improving parental guidance practices, and considering additional learner-related and school-related factors when developing educational support programs for early-grade learners.
