1 PAMANTASAN NG LUNGSOD NG VALENZUELA Tongco Street, Maysan, Valenzuela City Chapter 1 THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND Introduction Throughout the years, the Philippine Government has been striving to uplift the quality of education in our country. The government allocates high budget every year and guarantees that every Filipino has the right to quality education. Despite this fact, still many pupils are still considered to be non-readers and non-numerates. This is one of the dramatically issues that our government must address to improve. The quality of education has declined due to poor results of the national achievement tests conducted among the students in the elementary and secondary level as well as in college. High dropout rates, high number of repeaters, low-passing grades, lack of particular language skills, overcrowded classrooms and poor teacher performances has greatly affected the quality of education in the Philippines. (https://www.dap.edu.ph/coepsp/innov_initiatives/education-360-degrees-investment-program/) In Valenzuela, the local government created “Education 360 degrees Investment Program” to address the low academic performances among Valenzuelano students in the National Achievement Test. The Education 360 Degrees Investment Program in the city has been institutionalized. Due to this, children were placed as a center of the program to fill their needs holistically. The local government of Valenzuela participated, pioneered and rationalized the need for program which aims to harness the needs of the education. The program shows 2 PAMANTASAN NG LUNGSOD NG VALENZUELA Tongco Street, Maysan, Valenzuela City involvement, shared accountability and opportunities among stakeholders to contribute their best in addressing the issue on education. According to the study of Macalino et. al (2005), the Philippine Journal of Education states that the quality of classroom instruction largely depends on the quality of teachers, schools and learners. That is how the Education 360 Degree Program was crafted and its main objectives are to: develop curriculum for teaching reading to learners that needed intervention and enhancement; conduct seminars and trainings for teachers in enhancing their capabilities and abilities in teaching; continuous construction of school buildings and facilities; (d) distribution of free back-to-school supplies for every students; feeding program for nursery pupils of daycare centers and pupils in public elementary schools; engaging parents in actively participating with the school programs that involve their children. The Education 360 Degrees Investment program was launched in January 2014 with seven components namely: Curriculum Build-up, Nanay-Teacher (Mother-Teacher) Parenting Camp, Teaching Camp, Education Supplies, Massive Infrastructure Spending, and K to 6 In-School Feeding Program, and Performance Incentive System. Nanay-Teacher Parenting Camp is anchored on the Parenting camp that is conducted in other countries and is widely practiced in Florida, USA. There is an empowered parent conference program that the city provides for every family designed to strengthen the family bond and not just fix the ‘problem child’. (https://theparenthelpcenter.com/weekend-successcamp/) 3 PAMANTASAN NG LUNGSOD NG VALENZUELA Tongco Street, Maysan, Valenzuela City The approach is to change the environment that created the ‘problem child’ in the first place. In that particular state of the country, the government provided local hotlines called ‘The Parent Help Center’ where the parents in every family can call and seek for help, guidance and counseling in many aspects of parenting. Nancy and Laurance (1993) believed that the participation of every parent in the development and learning of their children are one of the important aspects in creating a favorable environment for their child. Nowadays, it is very much noticed that this responsibility is being neglected. According to Walker (2010) the approach of parents affects the cognitive, emotional and physical development of the child. It was emphasized by Battle and Lewis (2002) that education is a crucial factor in the growth and development of one’s country and whether we admit this or not, many of the parents lack guidance and support to their child and most of the times, they would only submit the whole responsibility to the second of the child which are the schools. Rivera (2007) investigated the relationship of parenting and academic performance and most of the respondents who belong to the low-income families; most of their parents finished high school; the level of the academic performance of students is not good; but the economic status and educational attainment of the parents do not over-all affect the academic performance of the student. The second component which is the Nanay- Teacher Parenting Camp aims to engage parents more in the learning and development of their children through capacity building on the Nanay-Teacher (Mother-Teacher) Parenting Camp. Reflection and peer learning involves the parents in knowing their child especially in school where the child usually goes to study. They 4 PAMANTASAN NG LUNGSOD NG VALENZUELA Tongco Street, Maysan, Valenzuela City conducted 2-day Parenting Camp that engages the parents in planning the collaboration with teachers in raising students who are academically excellent and mold their good character. The participants took it upon themselves to organize parenting workshops in their own schools. In the 360 Degrees Investment Program residents recognized as equal partners in policy formulation, planning, and implementation and provided platforms for participatory governance to flourish. As a Teacher I in the Department of Education- Valenzuela, the researcher was inspired by the Nanay-Teacher Parenting Camp to study the status of implementation of this project in order to identify the needs for enhancement, strengthen or even draw recommendations that would institutionalize the use of the Nanay-Teacher Parenting Camp in Valenzuela. Background of the Study The school is one of the foundations of student’s intellect and well-being but good manners and primary learning in the development of their personality starts at home. This is the idea of parenting camp. The impact of parent involvement in a child’s growth and development is generally accepted (Sheldon 2003). However, educators, parent groups, and policy makers continue to debate of whether or not parent involvement has a beneficial effect on the academic achievement of children (Epstein 2001). In the United States, most states mandate that children attend school between 170 and 180 days in a year. Traditional school calendars include ten or more weeks when school is not in session and leave weeks of time in the year where working parents must find other care activities for their children. 5 PAMANTASAN NG LUNGSOD NG VALENZUELA Tongco Street, Maysan, Valenzuela City In the Philippines, aside from the guidance of a teacher in a school, most important factor in the development of a child is the parenting styles of parents inside their homes. The NanayTeacher Parenting Camp of Valenzuela City is a unique project in the Philippines for the development of every child in the primary and secondary schools. It aims to bring back the effective guidance and parenting skills in the development of their children’s education. Together with the local government, trainings and seminars are provided under the NanayTeacher Parenting Camp that includes smart parenting for their children. Senator Sherwin Gatchalian who was then the Congressman of the First District of Valenzuela that time launched the program in 2014 under the 360 degrees Investment Program. The 360 degrees Investment Program, he takes pride in this program which benefits 86,551 students from 119 public daycare centers, sixty elementary schools and nineteen secondary schools. Six hundred teachers and teaching aides underwent the teaching camp. Six thousand four hundred nine wasted and severely wasted students went through the country’s biggest inschool feeding program. (https://www.dap.edu.ph/coe-psp/innov_initiatives/education-360- degrees-investment-program/) Throughout the course of the implementation of the program, it has delivered positive results that are manifested by the following: In 2016, 90% of the children under the in-school feeding program are no longer considered severely wasted. While 5,536 out of 6,375-frustration level and non-reader students became instructional and independent readers by the end of the 6 PAMANTASAN NG LUNGSOD NG VALENZUELA Tongco Street, Maysan, Valenzuela City summer reading camp. On the other hand, a total of 600 teachers and teaching aides participated in the reading camp training in 2016. Hence, we can understand that the quality of education can still be uplifted in terms of these programs. We can say that the local government can also play a role in collaborating with the Department of Education in terms of developing programs that could be of big help in achieving the goals of the society. The researcher would like to identify and to have an overview of the success of this kind of program in Valenzuela. On what can be the aspects for effectiveness and efficiency of this project that other cities can adapt and discover the challenges in its implementation. Theoretical Framework This study is based on John Dewey’s Curriculum Theory which states that, the curriculum should ultimately produce students who would be able to deal effectively with the modern world. Therefore, curriculum should not be presented as finished abstractions, but should include the child's preconceptions and should incorporate how the child views his or her own world. Dewey uses four instincts, or impulses, to describe how to characterize children's behavior. The four instincts according to Dewey are social, constructive, expressive, and artistic. Curriculum should build an orderly sense of the world where the child lives. Dewey hoped to use occupations to connect miniature versions of fundamental activities of life classroom activities. 7 PAMANTASAN NG LUNGSOD NG VALENZUELA Tongco Street, Maysan, Valenzuela City The way Dewey hoped to accomplish this goal was to combine subject areas and materials. (https://www.k12academics.com/education-theory/curriculum-theory). This study was anchored on John Dewey’s principles and theories wherein the essential parts of the curriculum such as adequacy of funds and resources, attainability of objectives, effectiveness of mechanisms and efficiency of monitoring and supervision of supervisors and school head must then be able to realized and achieved in order to produce quality education. This study also has the relevance with the theory of multiple intelligences (MI) which was first described by Howard Gardner in Frames of Mind (1983). Gardner defines intelligence as “an ability or set of abilities that allow a person to solve a problem or fashion a product that is valued in one or more cultures. Gardner believes that different intelligences maybe independent abilities- a person can be low in one domain area but high in another. All of us possess the intelligences but varying in degrees of strength and skill. This plays an important role for every parent in knowing the capabilities of their children and to be able to provide the appropriate parenting style for them. Multiple intelligences are related to curriculum and instruction of teachers and the capability of the school to cater the needs of these varied learners through the status of the implementation of the Nanay-Teacher Parenting Camp. Another important theory related to the study is Vygotsky’s Socio-cultural Theory, wherein social interaction plays a very important role in cognitive development of learners. He believed that individual development could not be understood without looking into the social and cultural context within which development happens. Scaffolding is Vygotsky’s term for the 8 PAMANTASAN NG LUNGSOD NG VALENZUELA Tongco Street, Maysan, Valenzuela City appropriate assistance given not just by the teachers but also the parents in assisting the student for accomplishing a task. The parents work together with the teachers in order to actually know more about their children and on how does these children behaves in school or what problems can these children encounters to help them do interventions and proper guidance through the Nanay-Teacher Parenting Camp.

RELATED LITERATURE Parenting as defined in the Merriam-Webster Dictionary App is the process of taking care of children until they are old enough to take care of themselves. It is the continuous process that parents do in raising their child and preparing them to be independent and to be resilient in facing life’s challenges and difficulties. On the other hand, parent involvement is defined as the active engagement of a parent with their child outside of school day in an activity which centers on enhancing their academic performance. The relation of the contribution of a parent in a child’s growth and development is generally recognized (Sheldon, 2003). However, educators, parent groups, and policy makers continue to debate on the issue of whether or not parent involvement has a beneficial effect on the academic achievement of children (Epstein, 2001). The role that parents take part in the academic improvement of their children has long been studied ever since but not until the 1960’s that the effects of the programs designed to foster the role of the parent involvement were systematically studied using experimental design ( Nye, Turner & Swartchz; 2016). It has been well known that students with high academic achievement are important assets to any country, while low negative achievement may cause negative consequences such as stress, hopelessness, delinquency, psychopathology and substance abuse (Fatemeh et al. 2017) Factors that influence 17 PAMANTASAN NG LUNGSOD NG VALENZUELA Tongco Street, Maysan, Valenzuela City academic achievement of adolescents should be addressed to improve their academic achievement. Among several factors that affect academic achievement, parenting style is one of the most important. Because of the relationship between parenting style and academic achievement scholars have highlighted the various aspects of parenting styles that help in boosting the academic outcomes of adolescents. Being role models, parents play a significant role in the child development (H.Masud et. al, 2014). Family environment is also one of the factors in children’s cognitive, emotional, social and behavioral competence (Nancy and Laurance, 2015). In most if not all cultures, parenting is seen as an integral social role with great influence on the lives of children and of parents themselves (Alampay, 2014; Bornstein, 2016). The importance of parenting is particularly highlighted in our country, wherein the family is generally seen as central to one’s social world (Jocano, 1998). Local and cross-cultural researchers have described Filipino family as characterized by cohesiveness, respect for elders, deference to parental authority, and fulfillment of mutual obligations to each other (Chao & Tseng, 2014; Medina, 2016). However, social contexts in which Filipino families are embedded have changed rapidly over the past ten years, possibly shaping in turn the ways in which parents and children think about and relate with each other. For instance, numbers of families involve one or more parent going abroad to work, for a better living or adolescent children going to the city to study. Scholars such as Medina (2016) and Alampay (2014) have suggested that with these changes 18 PAMANTASAN NG LUNGSOD NG VALENZUELA Tongco Street, Maysan, Valenzuela City might come shifts in parenting beliefs and behaviors, such as shift from authoritarian towards more permissive or autonomous attitudes towards parenting. REVIEW OF RELATED STUDIES Studies regarding parenting in the country have focused on parenting characteristics and styles, in the recent years has been conducted. Researchers sought to examine how does parenting characteristics and style influence children’s social adjustment, emotional intelligence, academic goal orientation, and identity processes (Bernardo & Ujano-Batangan, 2014; Persigen et al. 2015). Meanwhile, some researchers mainly focused on such as parental warmth, control and emotional support (Deater-Deckard et al., 2015; Parcon 2016), others examined the results that are associated with patterns concerning parenting characteristics and methods of childupbringing, referred to as parenting styles (Abarquez, 2014; Gilongos and Guarin, 2015). A considerable number of researchers drew from Baumrind’s (1989, 1991) work on parenting styles, which totally described three broad patterns in parenting characteristics and method of child-rearing namely: authoritarian, permissive and authoritative. According to this framework, authoritarian parents mainly focused on unquestioning obedience while remaining aloof and detached to their children. They were considered to be permissive parents placing fewer demands or limitations regarding rules set on their children as they are characterized by strong emotional support, high expectations, and granting appropriate levels of autonomy. Most of these types of parents rely much on trust to their child with utmost support and loyalty. Western literature on parenting styles suggested that parents who are authoritarian is positively associated with focusing their child on academic achievement and social competence. In our 19 PAMANTASAN NG LUNGSOD NG VALENZUELA Tongco Street, Maysan, Valenzuela City country, researchers from various regions also vapplied this approach in an attempt to discover how parenting styles can influence academic, social and psychological outcomes of their children. Adopting this on a more critical level, others have questioned the assumption that Filipino parents can easily be classified as authoritarian, permissive, or authoritative, considering, differences in cultural notions of parental support, control and autonomy (Ochoa, Torre, 2015). Many of the studies in this review that relied on Baumrind’s classification of parenting styles found authoritative parenting styles to be most commonly practice among Filipino families. For instance, in Bacus’ (2014) study on the relationship between parenting styles, selfconcept, attitude towards school, and academic outcomes among seventh grade students in Northern Mindanao. The results of the studies have shown that majority of students have perceived that their parents as practicing an authoritative parenting style. Using path analysis, Bacus found that students’ attitude towards school and authoritative parenting style were strongly associated with high academic performance though it is not the sole basis for the study. Similar patterns were observed by Gilongos and Guarin (2016), who utilized surveyquestionnaires, interviews, and focus groups to investigate the relationship between parenting styles and school-aged children’s social adjustment among families in Aklan. Based on parents’ reports, the parenting styles in the majority of these households (96%) were described as authoritative, with far fewer parents using parenting styles that could be described as permissive (2.67 %), or authoritarian (1.33 %). Meanwhile, most of their children described their relationship with their parents as warm, supportive, and loving, and reported engaging in social, 20 PAMANTASAN NG LUNGSOD NG VALENZUELA Tongco Street, Maysan, Valenzuela City cooperative behavior and perceived their relationships with their peers to be healthy. The researchers concluded that these findings that parents’ self-reported authoritative parenting styles were associated with children’s healthy and close relationships with their parents and peers; because, authoritative parents allow children in seeking autonomy and independence and also allows them to take part in decision-making. However, it is not clear whether this conclusion can be drawn from the data they obtained. The previously summarized research literature yielded important insights on patterns of parenting characteristics and styles among Filipino parents as well as their influence on children’s academic outcomes, identity development, and overall psychological well-being. These studies primarily focus on the perceived and self-reported behaviors of parents but do not say much about the dynamics of the relationship between the Filipino parents and their children. The researcher, aimed to fill the gap among building a healthy relationship between parents and their children by proposing a homeschool partnership framework about the status of implementation of the Nanay-Teacher Parenting Camp in Valenzuela city that can help contribute to the effectiveness and efficiency of the program and also to widespread the practice of these kinds of program not just in the local government of Valenzuela but also to some other cities. 21 PAMANTASAN NG LUNGSOD NG VALENZUELA Tongco Street, Maysan, Valenzuela City Chapter 3 RESEARCH METHODOLOGY This chapter describes the methods and procedures used by the researcher in gathering the needed data. It includes the research design, participants of the study, research locale, research instrument, data gathering procedures, and data analysis. Research Design A mixed method type of research study is used to determine the status of implementation of the Nanay-Teacher Parenting Camp in selected Secondary Schools in the East District Division of Valenzuela City. This type of research represents research that involves collecting, analyzing and interpreting quantitative and qualitative data in a single study or in a series of studies that investigates the same underlying phenomenon (Onwuegbuzie; 2008). The researcher chose this design to determine the assessment of the Nanay-Teacher Facilitators and Teacher Facilitators in the Nanay-Teacher Parenting Camp in terms of seven aspects namely: a) adequacy of funds and resources b) attainability of program objectives, c) effectiveness of mechanisms, d) efficiency of monitoring and supervision; based from the 2014 High School Module crafted by Synergeia Foundation. Participants of the Study The respondents of the study were the fifty Teacher Facilitators and ninety-four NanayTeacher Facilitators in the secondary schools of the East District of Valenzuela City under the Nanay-Teacher Parenting Camp since its flagship implementation since 2014. The fifty Teacher 22 PAMANTASAN NG LUNGSOD NG VALENZUELA Tongco Street, Maysan, Valenzuela City Facilitator respondents in the study in each school in the East District of Valenzuela City were distributed as follows: Bagbaguin National High School (5); Canumay West National High School (5); Mapulang Lupa National High School (5); Parada National High School (5); Sitero Francisco Memorial National High School (7); Gen. T. De Leon National High School (10); Maysan National High School (8); and Justice Eleazar National High School (5). In addition, the ninety-four Nanay-Teacher Facilitators in the secondary schools in the East District of Valenzuela City were also distributed as follows: 1) Bagbaguin National High School (6); 2) Canumay West National High School (9); 3) Mapulang Lupa National High School (9); 4) Parada National High School (10); 5) Sitero Francisco Memorial National High School (16); 6) Gen. T. De Leon National High School (18); 7) Maysan National High School (18); 8) Justice Eleazar National High School (8). To remove biased data and results in these study two sample populations from two other schools in the Central and North District has been collected for validation purposes. These schools were Canumay East National High school with eight Nanay-Teacher Facilitators and five Teacher Facilitators; and also, Polo National High School in the North District with twenty Nanay-Teacher Facilitators and ten Teacher Facilitators. All of these sample populations make up the over-all one hundred twenty two Nanay-Teacher Facilitator respondents and sixty-five Teacher Facilitator respondents for the study. The researcher used the entire population of the Teacher Facilitators and Nanay-Teacher Facilitators under the Nanay-Teacher Parenting Camp in the East District in the Division of 23 PAMANTASAN NG LUNGSOD NG VALENZUELA Tongco Street, Maysan, Valenzuela City Valenzuela City. Moreover, the total population of all the respondents included in this study is one hundred eighty-seven consisting of sixty-five teacher-facilitators who are part of the program and one hundred twenty-two Nanay-teacher facilitators from the East District in the Division of Valenzuela City. The researcher focused on the following qualifications for the respondents. First, the respondents must be actively involved in the program and must be a regular facilitator and attendee of each sessions and training. On the qualitative aspect of the study, the researcher interviewed four informants. These four informants were two Nanay-Teacher Facilitators and two Teacher Facilitators who have been in the Parenting Camp since its implementation. Research Locale The study is conducted in selected Secondary Schools of the East District of the Division of Valenzuela City. There were sixty-five Teacher Facilitators and one hundred twenty-two Nanay-Teacher Facilitators respondents since the implementation of the program in 2014. The Nanay-Teacher Program in the Division of Valenzuela City is composed of four Districts. In the East District there are 8 Secondary Schools namely; Bagbaguin, Canumay West, Mapulang Lupa, Parada, Sitero Francisco Memorial National High School, General Tiburcio De Leon, Maysan and Justice Eleazar De Los Santos National High School. In North District there are 5 Secondary Schools namely; Wawang Pulo, Arkong Bato, Dalandanan, Polo and Malanday 24 PAMANTASAN NG LUNGSOD NG VALENZUELA Tongco Street, Maysan, Valenzuela City National High Schools. In the Central District there are 6 Secondary Schools namely; Canumay East, Valenzuela City School of Mathematics and Science, Bignay, Malinta, Lawang Bato and Vicente P. Trinidad National High School. In South District there are 2 Secondary Schools namely; Valenzuela National High School and Caruhatan National High School. Research Instrument The researcher used two sets of questionnaire, one for the Teacher Facilitators and the other questionnaire was for the Nanay-Teacher facilitators who were among the implementers of the project. The researcher-made questionnaires are subjected for pilot testing and were based on the guidelines of the Nanay-Teacher Parenting Camp. The survey questionnaires were used to answer questions on the Status of Implementation of the Nanay-Teacher Parenting Camp. These questions consist of the assessment of the status of implementation considering the following: adequacy of funds and resources, attainability of objectives, effectiveness of mechanisms, efficiency of monitoring and supervision and the challenges encountered by the teacherrespondents and Nanay-teacher facilitators in the implementation of the Nanay-Teacher Parenting Camp in their respective schools. The indicators used in the questionnaires for data gathering came from observable aspects of the curriculum implementation of Nanay-Teacher Parenting Camp in assessing its Status of Implementation based on the guide published in the modules crafted by Synergeia Foundation such as the High School Module 4. The indicators were rated on the following scale: 5- Fully Implemented; 4- Implemented; 3- Moderately 25 PAMANTASAN NG LUNGSOD NG VALENZUELA Tongco Street, Maysan, Valenzuela City Implemented; 2- Least Implemented; 1-Not Implemented at all. The range of these scales on the likert-scale will be: 1.00-1.49 (Not Implemented at all); 1.50-2.49 (Least Implemented); 2.503.49 (Moderately Implemented); 3.50-4.49 (Implemented); 4.50-5.00 (Fully Implemented). On the qualitative aspect, the researcher used an interview guide for each respondents and to be recorded. The audio was played and translated then this was transcoded and themes for the study was based on the responses of the respondents. Data Gathering Procedure The researcher gathered data first by asking permission from the Schools Division Superintendent where the study was conducted. After preparing the research instrument, it was validated and piloted to fifteen Teacher Facilitators and twenty-eight Nanay-Teacher Facilitators who actively took part in implementation of the project. This enabled the researcher to finalize the instrument and enhance their validity and reliability. Survey questionnaire has been conducted to gather information on the assessment of teacher facilitators and Nanay-teacher facilitators. The questionnaires were administered to sixty-five Teacher Facilitators and one hundred twenty-two Nanay-Teacher Facilitators and were distributed and retrieved personally by the researcher. Teacher Facilitators and Nanay-Teacher Facilitators were required to fill up a survey questionnaire to determine the Status of Implementation the Nanay-Teacher Parenting Camp in the selected schools in the Division of Valenzuela City. Upon the collection of the instrument, 26 PAMANTASAN NG LUNGSOD NG VALENZUELA Tongco Street, Maysan, Valenzuela City the researcher organized and sorted them out. The data gathered will then be used for statistical treatment. On the qualitative aspect, qualified respondents who had been in the program for four years and above are asked certain questions in an interview with a validated interview guide. Statistical Treatment and Data Analysis The data were gathered from the questionnaire that were collected, tallied, summarized and presented in tables. Two statistical tools were utilized in the treatment of the data in order to answer the major as well specific sub-problems. The data gathered from the profile of respondents were treated with the following: 1. Weighted Mean. This is measures central tendency and represents the average of a given data. Weighted mean is similar to arithmetic mean or sample mean. Weighted mean is calculated when data is given in a different way compared to arithmetic mean or sample mean. It was used to answer problem 2 to analyze the status of implementation of the Nanay-Teacher Parenting Camp as assessed by the Teacher Facilitators and the Nanay-Teacher Facilitators. 2. Z-test was used to determine the significant difference in the assessment between the Teacher Facilitators and Nanay-Teacher Facilitators in the status of implementation of the Nanay-Teacher Program in terms of adequacy of funds and resources, 27 PAMANTASAN NG LUNGSOD NG VALENZUELA Tongco Street, Maysan, Valenzuela City attainability of objectives, effectiveness of mechanisms, efficiency of monitoring and supervision. For the qualitative area of research, responses of the interviewees was recorded and translated. Then, this was analyzed and themed based on what the research paper is requiring. The responses among the quantitative and qualitative aspect of this research had been subjected for a certain analytical process that could help create a homeschool partnership framework for the Nanay-Teacher Parenting Camp. 28 PAMANTASAN NG LUNGSOD NG VALENZUELA Tongco Street, Maysan, Valenzuela City Chapter 4 PRESENTATION, ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION OF DATA This chapter covers the presentation, analysis and interpretation of the data in the light of research questions formulated in the study. Problem 1. Respondents’ Assessment on the Extent of Implementation of the NanayTeacher Parenting Camp The following tables illustrate the extent of implementation of the Nanay-Teacher Parenting Camp as assessed by the Nanay-Teacher facilitators and Teacher facilitators. 2.1 Adequacy of funds and resources. Table 1 displays the extent of implementation of Nanay-Teacher Parenting Camp as assessed by the Nanay-Teacher facilitator and Teacher facilitator as to adequacy of funds and resources. 29 PAMANTASAN NG LUNGSOD NG VALENZUELA Tongco Street, Maysan, Valenzuela City Table 1 Respondents’ Assessment on the Extent of Implementation of the NanayTeacher Parenting Camp as to Adequacy of Funds and Resources Adequacy of Funds and Resources Nanay-Teacher Facilitator M V.I Teacher Facilitator M V.I OVERALL MEAN M V.I 1.

The Nanay-Teacher Facilitator’s lowest assessment with the mean score of 3.34 (Moderately Implemented) is that the school is solely used to conduct or implement the program, followed by the mean score of 3.70 (Implemented) which indicates that learning 30 PAMANTASAN NG LUNGSOD NG VALENZUELA Tongco Street, Maysan, Valenzuela City materials and modules are always available and adequate, and assessed that the school is safe and free from any hazards with the mean score of 3.90 (Implemented). Adequacy of funds and resources of the project as assessed by the Nanay-Teacher Facilitators had an overall weighted mean of 3.82 (Implemented). Moreover, the Teacher Facilitators assessed that the Nanay-Teacher Parenting Camp is being implemented with the mean score of 4.02 (Implemented) for the adequacy of school facilities and resources needed. Learning materials/modules are adequate and always available with the highest weighted mean of 4.15 (Implemented). Meanwhile, the school is solely used to conduct or implement the program with the lowest weighted mean among the variables which is 3.62 (Implemented), followed by the second variable which states that the school is accessible for parents and is conducive for every meeting with the weighted mean of 3.63 (Implemented). The school is safe and free from any hazards with the weighted mean of 4.00 (Implemented). Moreover, the adequacy of funds and resources has an overall weighted mean of 3.88 (Implemented) as assessed by Teacher Facilitators. The average of the assessment of the Nanay-Teacher Facilitators and Teacher Facilitators as to the adequacy of funds and resources is considered to be implemented with an overall average weighted mean of 3.85. According to the study of (Bert Vandiver, 2011), the poor condition of some schools raised serious concerns about teacher and student safety. The problem was that school facilities were negatively impacting student learning and faculty, and 31 PAMANTASAN NG LUNGSOD NG VALENZUELA Tongco Street, Maysan, Valenzuela City administrators were not properly supporting stronger facility management. Educators must understand and find ways to help increase student performance. 32 PAMANTASAN NG LUNGSOD NG VALENZUELA Tongco Street, Maysan, Valenzuela City 2.2 Attainability of Objectives. Table 2 depicts the extent of implementation of the Nanay-Teacher Parenting Camp as assessed by the Nanay-Teacher Facilitators and Teacher Facilitators as to the Attainability of Ojectives.

Then, Seminars and trainings enable the parents to get motivated and determined to accomplish each tasks has a weighted mean of 3.17 (Moderately Implemented). It was then reflected on the table that the Nanay-Teacher Facilitators assessed the implementation of the Nanay-Teacher Parenting Camp as to the attainability of objectives with an overall weighted mean of 3.33 (Moderately Implemented). Meanwhile, the Teacher Facilitators assessed it with an overall weighted mean of 3.16 (Moderately Implemented). The average of the assessement of the Nanay-Teacher Facilitators and Teacher Facilitators is considered to be moderately implemented with an overall average weighted mean of 3.25. According to Herbert J. Walberg, 2013 of Stanford University in his book, “Advancing Student Achievement—The Hoover Institution Koret Task Force on K-12 Education”, children and adults require time for the acquisition and association of elemnents, but well organized environments can accelerate learning far beyond conventional bounds. Such experiment with a single subject illustrates potential of intensive, directed instruction with highly specialized skill. Like other learning, of course, such extraordinary may not carry over to knowledge and skills that is associated with attainability of curriculum objectives. 35 PAMANTASAN NG LUNGSOD NG VALENZUELA Tongco Street, Maysan, Valenzuela City Table 3 Respondents’ Assessment on the Extent of Implementation of the NanayTeacher Parenting Camp as to Effectiveness of Mechanisms Effectiveness of Mechanisms Nanay-Teacher Facilitator M V.I Teacher Facilitator M OVERALL MEAN V.I M V.I 1.

Data revealed that Nanay-Teacher Facilitators and Teacher Facilitators do not differ in their assessment in the status of implementation of Nanay-Teacher Parenting Camp as to the efficiency of monitoring and supervision. According to Walberg: 2013, in the culture of learning and professional behavior, that is, communities of professional practice in the service of student academic and social learning and healthy school environment in which student learning is the central focus. School connections to external communities or linkages to family and other 43 PAMANTASAN NG LUNGSOD NG VALENZUELA Tongco Street, Maysan, Valenzuela City people or institutions in the community can advance academic learning. Performance accountability in the form of leadership holding everyone responsible for realizing high standards of performance for student learning; and individual and collective responsibility for learning among both students and staff can affect the implementation of a certain program or a project that cohere well with those of teachers, students, school and the community as a whole. 44 PAMANTASAN NG LUNGSOD NG VALENZUELA Tongco Street, Maysan, Valenzuela City For the qualitative side of the study, this area presents the responses of interviewees who have been working with the implementation of the project since its first year. The responses are then translated, transcoded and analyzed to investigate an underlying phenomenon beneath the Nanay-Teacher Parenting Camp towards a comprehensive homeschool partnership framework. Problem 1. Interviewee’s responses on the extent of implementation of the Nanay-Teacher Parenting Camp based on the interview guide questions provided. The following tables present the responses of the four interviewees involved in the program and their accurate statements about the project: 2.1 Adequacy of funds and resources; 2.1.1 Since when and how long have you been part of this project? Interviewee NT- Facilitator *A NT- Facilitator *AA T- Facilitator *B T- Facilitator *BB LEGEND: NT-Facilitator *A NT- Facilitator *AA T- Facilitator *B T- Facilitator *BB Responses “I have been part of the project for over four years.” “Since its implementation, for six years now.” “For over six years.” “I am part of the program for over four years.” : Nanay-Teacher Facilitator 1 : Nanay-Teacher Facilitator 2 : Teacher Facilitator 1 : Teacher Facilitator 1 The responses of the interviewees are to be recognized as reliable and credible since they have been part of the project for over four years since the implementation. Hence, these responses can still be subjected to further study, analysis and evaluation. 45 PAMANTASAN NG LUNGSOD NG VALENZUELA Tongco Street, Maysan, Valenzuela City 2.1.2 What are your best experiences in this kind of project? Interviewee NT- Facilitator *A NT- Facilitator *AA T- Facilitator *B T- Facilitator *BB LEGEND: NT-Facilitator *A NT- Facilitator *AA T- Facilitator *B T- Facilitator *BB Responses “Our parenting skills were improved, more learning’s to be shared to the family especially in raising a child.” “Attending seminars tend to develop more knowledge in raising a good child, we can also get and share ideas from other parents that we get to interact.” “Seeing the parents attends the parenting camp for the benefit of their children. NanayTeacher Parenting Camp helps the parents realize the value of their children, and how to guide them as a good parent.” “Parents were actively participating every year; they have learned many things in the project.” : Nanay-Teacher Facilitator 1 : Nanay-Teacher Facilitator 2 : Teacher Facilitator 1 : Teacher Facilitator Based upon the responses of the interviewees, the researcher had come up with the following themes: The Nanay-Teacher Parenting Camp engages parents to responsible parenting by being able to be guided in terms of attending such activities and seminars that could help them enhance their skills in parenting as well as being able to guide them as a good parent. It also teaches them to realize the value of quality time spent with their children. Their parenting skills were also improved through the use of different activities and are a good platform of the city in enhancing the quality of education. According to John Bormuth: 2016, parenting camps in relation to K-12 education is perhaps a century behind agriculture, the field in which experiments originated, which made astonishing increases in productivity. Sigelman and Rider (2006), state that, “Many noted theorist have argued that no social relationship is more important than the first: the bond between parent and infant”. Both Freud and Erikson placed great emphasis of parent-child relationship and its importance to “normal” development. 46 PAMANTASAN NG LUNGSOD NG VALENZUELA Tongco Street, Maysan, Valenzuela City 2.1.3 What made you join this project? Interviewee NT- Facilitator *A NT- Facilitator *AA T- Facilitator *B T- Facilitator *BB LEGEND: NT-Facilitator *A NT- Facilitator *AA T- Facilitator *B T- Facilitator *BB Responses “To improve our parenting skills and on our part as being a teacher inside our home.” “To help the school in implementing their curriculum through Nanay-Teacher Parenting Camp that enables us to be a good parent as well.” “I was actually assigned as Nanay-Teacher Coordinator and learned to love the job since I am a parent too.” “I was assigned as secretary in GPTA. When I was playing my role and enjoyed it being a part of the project.” : Nanay-Teacher Facilitator 1 : Nanay-Teacher Facilitator 2 : Teacher Facilitator 1 : Teacher Facilitator Based on the responses of interviewees in this question, the researcher came up with the following themes: The facilitators were persuaded to join the said program because they felt the need to improve their parenting skills. The parenting camp engages them to have a pro-active role in the community towards the learner’s social development not just inside the school but also as a good citizen. According to Amy Tiller, Belsky, Robins, and Gamble; 2001, defined competent parenting as, “the style of child rearing that enables developing person to acquire the capabilities required for dealing effectively with the ecological niches that she or he will inhabit during childhood, adolescence, and adulthood”. Competent parenting is related to warmer, more accepting, and more helpful styles of parenting. 47 PAMANTASAN NG LUNGSOD NG VALENZUELA Tongco Street, Maysan, Valenzuela City 2.1.4 Is there sufficient funding for the project allotted and adequate resources such as books and modules? If yes, how was it budgeted and liquidated? If no, what are the needs that must be addressed? Interviewee NT- Facilitator *A NT- Facilitator *AA T- Facilitator *B T- Facilitator *BB LEGEND: NT-Facilitator *A NT- Facilitator *AA T- Facilitator *B T- Facilitator *BB Responses “Yes, there was enough funding for the project.” “There have been sufficient funding and support for the program coming from the local government.” “Materials were provided by the local government, the snacks came from solicitation and GPTA fund and Barangay Councilors. There is no liquidation report because the fund came from the local government” “Yes, there were allotted materials or references that are used in the project. So every year, there is budget that is allotted to be used for the project.” : Nanay-Teacher Facilitator 1 : Nanay-Teacher Facilitator 2 : Teacher Facilitator 1 : Teacher Facilitator 1 After reviewing the said responses, the researcher came up with the following themes: There was enough funding for the project coming from the local government. In times of insufficiency, the General Parents and Teachers Association (GPTA) of the school and the Barangay stakeholders allot donations for the snacks and food during meeting and parenting camp activities. In Alex Martin’s article (2007) on parent and community involvement, he pointed out that the climax rests in the fact that how the parents would know that their sincere involvements are really proving worthwhile for their children. 48 PAMANTASAN NG LUNGSOD NG VALENZUELA Tongco Street, Maysan, Valenzuela City 2.2 Attainability of Objectives; 2.2.1 What do you think is the social relevance of the Nanay-Teacher Parenting Camp? Interviewee NT- Facilitator *A NT- Facilitator *AA T- Facilitator *B T- Facilitator *BB LEGEND: NT-Facilitator *A NT- Facilitator *AA T- Facilitator *B T- Facilitator *BB Responses “It is socially relevant because the project is unique and our city is the only one that implements this.” “Valenzuela City is the only city involved in helping the families create a good home.” “It is making the family bond stronger. It makes the parents more adept about social responsibilities in their children. It will serve as a guide in teaching them.” “It made the parents and teachers more attached to the students and it made their bond stronger.” : Nanay-Teacher Facilitator 1 : Nanay-Teacher Facilitator 2 : Teacher Facilitator 1 : Teacher Facilitator 1 Based on the responses of interviewees, the researcher came up with the following themes: The city of Valenzuela has been a unique city especially in terms of community development as exemplified by this kind of project, the Nanay-Teacher Parenting Camp. The Parenting Camp engages strong bond in the family that allows the parents to be more attached and to be more aware with regards to the social responsibilities for their children. The social relevance of the Nanay-Teacher Parenting Camp is linked in the article of Alex Martin (2007), that the answer lies in the attitude of the children. There is a direct relationship between academic achievements and attitude towards school. Schunk (2009) had the following idea of aspiration and academic desires. “Level of aspiration is defined as one’s subjective probability that he or she will reach on a certain level of education”. (Abu, H. & Maher M.: 2010) also say that children who received adequate parental concern were found to be much more confident in 49 PAMANTASAN NG LUNGSOD NG VALENZUELA Tongco Street, Maysan, Valenzuela City academic desires and achievement than those who could not get right amount of parental concern. 2.2.2 How does the project help the parents in the best way of parenting? Interviewee NT- Facilitator *A NT- Facilitator *AA T- Facilitator *B T- Facilitator *BB LEGEND: NT-Facilitator *A NT- Facilitator *AA T- Facilitator *B T- Facilitator *BB Responses “The project is helping us to re-echo the things we have learned from the seminars and training we attended as well as helping and training the parents in the best way of parenting.” “Especially in terms of encountering busy parents and parents who have no time for their child, this program helps them in being able to communicate and help their child in terms of academics.” “By means of knowing their kids better. It has made their parents realize their shortcomings on how to improve themselves in terms of relating with their kids.” “The project helps the parents to know more about their children, and it enables them to know more on how to take care of them physically, mentally and spiritually.” : Nanay-Teacher Facilitator 1 : Nanay-Teacher Facilitator 2 : Teacher Facilitator 1 : Teacher Facilitator 1 Referring to the responses of interviewees in this question, the researcher came up with the following themes: The project help them realize the importance of having quality time with their kids as well as being able to be guided in terms of good parenting. To admit their shortcomings and to be able to relate to their children deeply and to value taking care of them in the best way physically, mentally and spiritually. This opens the opportunities for them to know their child in the deeper way, discovering their interests, likes, dislikes and what bothers them so 50 PAMANTASAN NG LUNGSOD NG VALENZUELA Tongco Street, Maysan, Valenzuela City in that way, by knowing these petty details about their child, it makes the bond stronger and family relationships better. (Abu, H. & Maher M.: 2010) say that children who received adequate parental concern were found to be much more confident in academic desires and achievement than those who could not get right amount of parental concern. 2.2.3 How did the project achieve its goals in nurturing a family? Interviewee NT- Facilitator *A NT- Facilitator *AA T- Facilitator *B T- Facilitator *BB LEGEND: NT-Facilitator *A NT- Facilitator *AA T- Facilitator *B T- Facilitator *BB Responses “The parents are involved in educating their child.” “The parents can also help the teacher to raise a good child at home and to be able to help them in homework as well as monitoring their progress in school.” “It is usually based on the GPTA officers, the rewards of the school has made the parents more motivated to attend.” “It makes the family closer to each other; the program is very helpful to the parents.” : Nanay-Teacher Facilitator 1 : Nanay-Teacher Facilitator 2 : Teacher Facilitator 1 : Teacher Facilitator 1 According to the responses of the interviewees, the researcher came up with the following themes: The project achieved its goal in nurturing the family by being involved in the school and community wherein their child is involved that remains to be one of the factors in the development of their child. It also makes them involve in educating their child in the best ways. It also helps the parents to raise a good child at home as well as building good family relationships at home. According to Vanderwoerd (2003), Diana Baumrind seemed to touch on the idea of respect in her investigation into different parenting styles. Her parenting styles were based on two aspects of parenting that are found to be extremely important. The first was "Parental responsiveness", which refers to the degree the parent responds to the child's needs. 51 PAMANTASAN NG LUNGSOD NG VALENZUELA Tongco Street, Maysan, Valenzuela City The second was "Parental demandingness" which is the extent to which the parent expects more mature and responsible behavior from a child. 2.3 Effectiveness of Mechanisms; 2.3.1 What kind of impact does this project do in terms of enhancing the academic performance of students? Interviewee NT- Facilitator *A NT- Facilitator *AA T- Facilitator *B T- Facilitator *BB LEGEND: NT-Facilitator *A NT- Facilitator *AA T- Facilitator *B T- Facilitator *BB Responses “The child feels important especially when the parents are involved in the school.” “It enables us to allot more time with our child especially in terms of helping them develop their self-confidence and self-esteem.” “Academic Performance parse means that parents learn to realize the value of their kids and to contribute in their kids’ learning.” With the different activities that was done in each program, the parents have their chances to know more about their students’ performance.” : Nanay-Teacher Facilitator 1 : Nanay-Teacher Facilitator 2 : Teacher Facilitator 1 : Teacher Facilitator 1 According to the responses of the interviewees, the researcher gave the following themes: In terms of enhancing the academic performance of the students, the parenting camp help contribute by means of involving their parents in school. By this project, their academic performance were enhanced because they are more motivated to focus in the school because their self-confidence and self-esteem were elevated due to appreciation that they receive from their parents because they are involved in the school activities such as parenting camp. Vanderwoerd (2003) also quoted that Eleanor Maccoby found that children of authoritarian parents tended to 52 PAMANTASAN NG LUNGSOD NG VALENZUELA Tongco Street, Maysan, Valenzuela City have low self-esteem, lacked empathy, were unable to internalize moral standards, lacked independence, and were weak in establishing positive peer relationships. According to Chan ang Koo’s research, there is indeed evidence to suggest that parenting practice matters, especially for educational outcome. 2.3.2 Why is this project affecting the strengths and weaknesses of every child at home or in the school? Interviewee NT- Facilitator *A NT- Facilitator *AA T- Facilitator *B T- Facilitator *BB LEGEND: NT-Facilitator *A NT- Facilitator *AA T- Facilitator *B T- Facilitator *BB Responses “The child became more active in the school especially when they feel that they are being supported.” “My children feel happier when they see me in school involved in the schools’ activities.” “Somehow, the activities especially specific topics in the module, parents are able to identify their shortcomings, strengths and weaknesses.” “The project enlightens the children or parents to know how to raise their child in a right way.” : Nanay-Teacher Facilitator 1 : Nanay-Teacher Facilitator 2 : Teacher Facilitator 1 : Teacher Facilitator 1 This project affects the strength and weaknesses of every child at home and in the school as presented by the responses of the interviewees, the researcher came up with the following themes: The parenting camp has affected the students in boosting their self-confidence especially in every school activities wherein their parents have been involved because they feel that they are being supported. The activities has also identified the strengths and weaknesses of their child and made them more aware on what approach they are going to undertake in enhancing their 53 PAMANTASAN NG LUNGSOD NG VALENZUELA Tongco Street, Maysan, Valenzuela City strengths and conquering their weaknesses. The authoritarian parents are dominating, strict and punishing. They teach adolescents to be submissive to obey and to be dependent on them. Adolescents in such home environments are usually more hostile, rebellious and model aggressive behaviour of the parent and show emotional disturbances. Adolescents of authoritative parents scored highest on the measure of psychological competence and lowest on measure of psychological and behavioural dysfunction and this is reverse with the adolescents of neglectful parents. (Lamborn & Wood, 1999). 54 PAMANTASAN NG LUNGSOD NG VALENZUELA Tongco Street, Maysan, Valenzuela City 2.3.3 How did the project affect the personality of their child? Interviewee NT- Facilitator *A NT- Facilitator *AA T- Facilitator *B T- Facilitator *BB LEGEND: NT-Facilitator *A NT- Facilitator *AA T- Facilitator *B T- Facilitator *BB Responses “The Nanay-Teacher Parenting Camp is also incorporated with Gender and Development orientation for them to be more sensitive in the needs of their children.” “It helps the school resolve issues before it gets worse by involving the parents and to be able to create a child-friendly school environment.” “It is one way of waking the parents to loosen up because it helps them realize their shortcomings. In my experience, there was one parent who shared that her child is about to commit suicide. The project helped them resolved an issue in an open forum.” “It helps the students to be more open with their parents. Last year, one of the parents shared her personal experience about her child who attempted to commit suicide and the project helped resolved the problem.” : Nanay-Teacher Facilitator 1 : Nanay-Teacher Facilitator 2 : Teacher Facilitator 1 : Teacher Facilitator 1 The parenting camp activities have affected the personality of their child based on the responses the researcher came up with the following themes: The project had also been a good intervention for students who are going through depression and challenges in a sense that it can pave ways for opening-up to solve problems and issues at home where some other parents could help in sharing tips and advices. It made the parents realize to be more sensitive to the needs of their children and to be involved in a child-friendly school environment in terms gender and development of the students. In a third paper that is based on the National Educational 55 PAMANTASAN NG LUNGSOD NG VALENZUELA Tongco Street, Maysan, Valenzuela City Longitudinal Study, McNeal, Jr.(1999) shows that students’ truancy and drop-out rates are lower if parents are involved in parent–teacher associations (PTAs), discuss educational matters with their child, or monitor their child’s behavior. However, the result is less consistent when it comes to science achievement scores: while parent–child discussion is associated with higher achievement scores, parental monitoring and parental involvement in PTAs are associated with lower scores. This leads McNeal to conclude that parental involvement is more salient for behavioral than for cognitive outcomes. He also argues that parental involvement has stronger effects for white and more affluent students. The results regarding non-educational outcomes are less consistent across studies. Chan and Koo (2009) also mention in their study Barnes and Farrell and they report that, net of various controls, including family history of alcohol abuse, higher levels of parental support, and monitoring are associated with lower levels of alcohol use, drug use, and delinquent behavior among adolescents. 56 PAMANTASAN NG LUNGSOD NG VALENZUELA Tongco Street, Maysan, Valenzuela City 2.3.4 Do you think the parents are truly happy in the implementation of the Nanay-Teacher Parenting Camp? Why or Why not? Interviewee NT- Facilitator *A NT- Facilitator *AA T- Facilitator *B T- Facilitator *BB LEGEND: NT-Facilitator *A NT- Facilitator *AA T- Facilitator *B T- Facilitator *BB Responses “They are happy and contented because they have been learning the best ways of parenting.” “Some parents who are not contented in the project seem to be closed-minded in terms of being able to discover ways of smartparenting.” “Good attendance of parents helps the implementation of the program in the best way. I rated their satisfaction as 8 on a scale of 110.” “Yes, because they were given time to reflect and many things that they shared for each other have helped resolve problems.” : Nanay-Teacher Facilitator 1 : Nanay-Teacher Facilitator 2 : Teacher Facilitator 1 : Teacher Facilitator 1 Based on the responses of the interviewees on their satisfaction in the implementation of Nanay-Teacher Parenting Camp, the researcher came up with the following themes: They are happy in the implementation of the project in the city that on a scale of 1-10, it has a satisfaction rating score of 8 because they were given time to reflect and learn the best ways of parenting. They were given time to reflect to help them solve family issues and problems at home. Those parents who are not contented in the project seem to have closed-minded perceptions on what was it all about and how it actually works. Maccoby & Martin (1983) stated that the combination 57 PAMANTASAN NG LUNGSOD NG VALENZUELA Tongco Street, Maysan, Valenzuela City of warm, nurturing parenting with good behavioral standards results in the formation of competent, responsible, independent and confident children.Hence children whose parents are warm, supportive and emotionally invested in child growing are more academically and socially competent and less inclined to show behavioural problems compared with age mates whose parents are less nurturing and less involved in their lives conversely the absence of parental nurturing has been found to impair child’s emotional competence. 58 PAMANTASAN NG LUNGSOD NG VALENZUELA Tongco Street, Maysan, Valenzuela City 2.3.5. Are the trainings enough to sustain the needs of the project? What can be the possible recommendations for conducting training that could help the project achieve the goal in providing proper orientation and training among the parents under Nanay-Teacher Parenting Camp? Interviewee NT- Facilitator *A NT- Facilitator *AA T- Facilitator *B T- Facilitator *BB LEGEND: NT-Facilitator *A NT- Facilitator *AA T- Facilitator *B T- Facilitator *BB Responses “Attendance of the parents is still the struggle of the project that is currently facing. The local government should allot more budgets in terms of conducting seminars that could enhance the convincing power of every facilitator.” “Parenting Camp activities such as these help improve the implementation of the program.” “Trainings were provided in the program and from there, every year there were different modules and seminars.” “It sustains the needs of the program. The parents are given training and activities so that they will know the right ways of parenting.” : Nanay-Teacher Facilitator 1 : Nanay-Teacher Facilitator 2 : Teacher Facilitator 1 : Teacher Facilitator 1 Based on the results of the interview, sufficiency of trainings and seminars being conducted in the program were reflected on the responses of the interviewees, the researcher came up with the following themes: Trainings and seminars were provided in the program for the betterment of their parenting skills. Parenting camp such as these help improve the extent of implementation of the project. There should still be more trainings and seminars to be conducted for a better implementation of the Nanay-Teacher Parenting Camp. There should also be ways on 59 PAMANTASAN NG LUNGSOD NG VALENZUELA Tongco Street, Maysan, Valenzuela City how to convince or persuade more parents to join the project since one of the struggles of this project is the attendance of the parents in each parenting camp activities. Parenting camp trainings such as these can impove families provide young children with specific skills and characteristics that serve them well with their peer relations (Lewis & Saarni 1985; Denham 1986). Several aspects of emotions such as encoding, decoding, emotional regulation, emotional expressiveness has been suggested as antecedents of peer competence (Cassidy, Parke, Butkovsky and Braungest: 1992) Children with more expressive parents have better peer relations. 2.3.6. What are the opportunities and challenges this project is currently facing? Interviewee NT- Facilitator *A NT- Facilitator *AA T- Facilitator *B T- Facilitator *BB LEGEND: NT-Facilitator *A NT- Facilitator *AA T- Facilitator *B T- Facilitator *BB Responses “Bonding time for the family is the best solution that this project can give. Convincing parents is still one of the challenges.” “The challenges faced by this were seen in terms of attendance of the parents in every parenting camp activity.” “Building strong relationship and linkages is one of its opportunities. While it is hard for the parents to convince attending parenting camp activities as the main challenge.” “Most of the time, some parents do not give time to attend.” : Nanay-Teacher Facilitator 1 : Nanay-Teacher Facilitator 2 : Teacher Facilitator 1 : Teacher Facilitator 1 Based on their responses, the researcher came up with the following themes: Creating strong relationships, linkages and bond to their children had been one of the opportunities that 60 PAMANTASAN NG LUNGSOD NG VALENZUELA Tongco Street, Maysan, Valenzuela City had been developed through this kind of project. Challenges faced by this project are the struggles in busy parents’ attendance during parenting camps that hinders them to be more involved in the students’ lives especially in the school. They should allot time and effort with this kind of pro-active project of the local government. According to Bornstein (2013), children do not, and cannot, grow up as solitary individuals; parenting constitutes an all-encompassing ecology for development. From the start, parenting is a "24/7" job. Parenting formally begins during or before pregnancy and can continue throughout the life span: Practically speaking for most, once a parent, always a parent. 61 PAMANTASAN NG LUNGSOD NG VALENZUELA Tongco Street, Maysan, Valenzuela City 2.4 Efficiency of Monitoring and Supervision; 2.4.1 Has there been any method of assessment or evaluation of the project? If none, how do you think can we assess this? Interviewee NT- Facilitator *A NT- Facilitator *AA T- Facilitator *B T- Facilitator *BB LEGEND: NT-Facilitator *A NT- Facilitator *AA T- Facilitator *B T- Facilitator *BB Responses “There have been various monitoring of attendance, documentation of activities to be submitted to the local government. There was also surprise monitoring and inspection of the school’s parenting camp activities from the local government.” “Prizes are being presented to the school such as smart televisions and gadgets as reward for a good attendance in the parenting camp activities.” “There are parents and other facilitators from other schools who are visiting. But there were no structured way of monitoring the program. Assessment of the program is just based on the parents’ attendance.” “Yes, by assessing the learning of the parents if they learned something new. There was still accomplishment reports submitted annually.” : Nanay-Teacher Facilitator 1 : Nanay-Teacher Facilitator 2 : Teacher Facilitator 1 : Teacher Facilitator 1 Monitoring and supervision of the project is reflected on this research by their responses and the researcher came up with the following themes: There had been various monitoring from the local government in every school’s parenting camp activities but there is yet still no 62 PAMANTASAN NG LUNGSOD NG VALENZUELA Tongco Street, Maysan, Valenzuela City structured way for monitoring and evaluation of the project. The assessment of the project is based on the attendance of the parents. After successful events of parenting camps in each school, schools with perfect attendance and are considered to have achieved many parents who attended the said activities, in return, the school wins the prize such as smart televisions and gadgets that could be used by the students. There were still accomplishment reports every after parenting camp activities that needs to be submitted as proof, it is also supported with proper documentation of pictures as a proof. In an article entitled “The Parents’ Role: Learning Differences at College”, it is pointed out that it is very important that in the academic years of students, parents should be supportive of their choices, but any more than this is too much. Matt, a recent anthropology graduate, stated that parents should let their children know that they are there for them and that they can help, but they should not try to do more than this, like they might have back in high school. College students have many obstacles to overcome in order to achieve their optimal academic performance. It takes a lot more than just studying to achieve a successful college career. Factors such as parental involvement in the light of parental expectations, can pose a significant effect on a student’s academic performance. Parental expectations have a notable influence on academic results, even when controlling for initial knowledge and socio-economic context. The more subtle aspects of parental involvement, such as parental styles, had a greater impact on student educational outcomes. 63 PAMANTASAN NG LUNGSOD NG VALENZUELA Tongco Street, Maysan, Valenzuela City Problem 3. Challenges encountered by the two groups of respondents in the implementation of Nanay-Teacher Parenting Camp The introduction of Nanay-Teacher Parenting Camp connotes a positive impact on the minds of some people. It aims to support the bond and the linkages of child in their parents and teachers at home or in the school. There were some issues and concerns relating to some challenges faced by this project. With regards to the lack of time, the respondents said, CHALLENGES SUPPORTING STATEMENT A. Poor attendance of parents in every “The challenges faced by this were seen in parenting camp activity. terms of attendance of the parents in every parenting camp activity.” B. Difficulties in building strong “Building strong relationship and linkages is relationships and linkages. one of its opportunities. While it is hard for the parents to convince attending parenting camp activities as the main challenge.” C. Lack of time in attending with every “Most of the time, some parents do not give parenting camp activity. time to attend.” Implementing the Nanay-Teacher Parenting Camp entails a lot of money, effort and dedication. First and foremost, there should always readiness for the project in terms of seminars, training and perseverance to implement this. Through this, the aim of the Education 360 degrees program of the local government through the Nanay-Teacher Parenting Camp is achieved so that there will be no one left behind in all facets of learning. 64 PAMANTASAN NG LUNGSOD NG VALENZUELA Tongco Street, Maysan, Valenzuela City Table 7 Matrix of the Old Framework in the Extent of the Status of Implementation and the Proposed Enhanced Framework for the Homeschool Partnership of Nanay-Teacher Parenting Camp in Selected Schools in the Division of Valenzuela City OLD FRAMEWORK PROPOSED ENHANCED FRAMEWORK The old framework of the NanayTeacher Parenting Camp is crafted along the formulation of the Education 360 degrees program of the local government of the city which aims to uplift the quality of education in all aspects. It is implemented with the help of the Synergeia Foundation, a Non-Government Organization which develops and improves the curriculum. The Nanay-Teacher Parenting Camp as part of the program aims to harmonize the relationship between the schools, parents and the teachers in molding and developing the personality, academic achievements and building the character of the The proposed enhanced framework of the Nanay-Teacher Parenting Camp or the Homeschool Support Partnership Framework by the researcher aims to strengthen the linkages and support of the three aspects of the child’s environment such as the home, school and the community. The teachers, parents and the school as the primary aspects influencing their personality, academic achievements and character are the main factors close to the child before such secondary factors like the schoolbased support; community partnership and homeschool partnership intervene for the betterment of their education and society as a 65 PAMANTASAN NG LUNGSOD NG VALENZUELA Tongco Street, Maysan, Valenzuela City children in all aspects. Still, based on the results of the study conducted by the researcher, the project implementation is assessed to be moderately implemented as to the adequacy of funds and resources, attainability of objectives, effectiveness of mechanisms, and efficiency of monitoring and supervision. whole. Key Areas: Key Areas: A. Adequacy of Funds and Resources: The school facilities and resources needed for the program were implemented and that the school is accessible for parents and is conducive for every meeting. Learning materials and modules are always adequate and always available. Based on the quantitative results of the study, the overall mean is 3.86, interpreted as implemented. There was enough funding for the program coming from the support of the local government. B. Attainability of Objectives: The project is considered to be socially relevant because of its unique implementation. The teacher facilitators help and collaborate in attainment of goals for every competency indicated in the module. The learning materials and modules answers all queries/concerns about the problems encountered in parenting. There were also training and seminars for the project. The attainability of the objectives for the project is considered to be moderately implemented with an overall mean of “Each child is considered as a blank sheet”, as what Aristotle said, therefore these primary and secondary factors greatly affects the upbringing and character build-up of the today’s generation. A. Adequacy of Funds and Resources: Adequate or sufficient funding must then be supported by the local government and the Barangay officials, as part of the red circle that signifies community partnership between the school and home of the child. Support from the NonGovernment Organizations (NGOs), and other stakeholders such as private companies must also support the project as they are considered to be part of the community. Funds and resources must also be maximized by the school in order for them to develop and effective and efficient implementation of the NanayTeacher Parenting Camp. B. Attainability of Objectives: In the proposed enhanced framework, attending the parenting camp for the benefit of their child, as well as being active in the involvement of parents with every 66 PAMANTASAN NG LUNGSOD NG VALENZUELA Tongco Street, Maysan, Valenzuela City 3.25. Despite this, the attainability of objectives is still hindered by the poor attendance in every conferences or activities organized by the school for the parenting camp. C. Effectiveness of Mechanisms: Strategies were employed by the Parenting Camp during seminars and trainings that completely address parenting needs and difficulties. Strategies in the seminars and trainings were anchored on the discovery approach. Also, enables them to perform and master entire guide for parenting. The learning materials/modules answer all the queries and concerns about problems encountered in parenting. With this, tracks and records of the parent’s in knowing the needs and guiding their child. Based on the study, the status of this key area in the extent of implementation of the project is considered to be moderately implemented with an overall weighted mean of 3.10. parenting camp activities inside the school as conducted by the facilitators and implementers of the project is still one of the best ways in improving their relationship with the children. Moreover, it makes their family bond stronger and makes them more adept about their social responsibilities for their children. The parenting camp serves nothing more than just being a guide in teaching them about the best ways and practices in parenting. C. Effectiveness of Mechanisms: The enhanced framework of the researcher suggests more seminars, conferences and training with regards to the effectiveness of mechanisms employed in the project. With all the different activities that was done, the parents have the chances to strengthen family bond in knowing more about the students’ performance in school and also about in terms of helping them develop not just their character but also their personality in terms of enhancing their selfesteem and self-confidence whenever they feel especially important when their parents chose to get involved in school activities during family day filled with exciting games and activities as organized by the facilitators and coordinated by the school to the Barangay officials and other stakeholders. 67 PAMANTASAN NG LUNGSOD NG VALENZUELA Tongco Street, Maysan, Valenzuela City D. Efficiency of Monitoring and Supervision: Supervision and monitoring are conducted all throughout the phase of implementation. The progress is then reported during the monitoring period. Timely and helpful feedbacks for better program implementation. Supervision and monitoring are done with sensitivity to both needs of parents and their child. This key area as reflected on the result of the study is interpreted to be moderately implemented with an overall weighted mean of 2.99. D. Efficiency of Monitoring and Supervision: As to the efficiency of monitoring and supervision the Nanay-Teacher Parenting Camp Supervisor should then provide timely and helpful feedbacks for every parenting camp activities in each school in the Division. They should also encourage the facilitators to develop community based instructional materials for every Nanay-Teacher Parenting Camp. Encourage both Nanay-Teacher and Teacher Facilitators to enhance knowledge and skills through sharing of activity materials. Problem 4. Development of Homeschool Partnership Framework to enhance the Implementation of Nanay-Teacher Parenting Camp The Nanay-Teacher Parenting Camp believed that the participation of every parent in the development and learning of their children are one of the important aspects in creating a favorable environment for their child. Creating strong bond, linkages and relationship of the parent, the child, school and the community is a huge factor towards the movement of our society. 68 PAMANTASAN NG LUNGSOD NG VALENZUELA Tongco Street, Maysan, Valenzuela City Figure 2 69 PAMANTASAN NG LUNGSOD NG VALENZUELA Tongco Street, Maysan, Valenzuela City Figure 1 shows that there were three overlapping circles that represent the three environments that best influences the child’s development. These are the homeschool partnership in blue circle, community partnership in red and school-based support in yellow. Together with these three circles, there are school in green, teachers in orange and parents in violet that work together in these environments that best supports the growth and development of the child shown in rainbow color. A child is like a blank sheet or a ‘tabula rasa’, said by Aristotle, that whatever factors this kind of child influences its growth and development then most likely, this kind of child is a representation and reflection of the mixtures of these three environment such as the home, the school and the community. In this Homeschool Partnership Framework, these three environments must take action and collaborate with each other for the betterment and growth of the child since there is really no exact recipe for parenting and guidance of a child’s development. The parents as the primary people who can directly influence the child must create strong bond, relationship and linkages with the relevance of the community and the school’s goal in educating the minds of their children. Through this Nanay-Teacher Parenting Camp as a great tool in the development of a child, the goals of smart-parenting, guidance and support for the students are enhanced and implemented. Surely, everyone must participate and be pro-active towards raising and upbringing a responsible hope of the future and movers of society which is their children. 70 PAMANTASAN NG LUNGSOD NG VALENZUELA Tongco Street, Maysan, Valenzuela City Figure 3 Additionally, the Nanay-Teacher Parenting Camp is implemented using this flowchart: A.
