in the New Normal in one of the secondary schools in the Division of

Negros Occidental during the School Year 2023-2024.

Specifically, this study sought to answer the following questions:

1. What is the profile of the respondents in terms of the following

variables?

a. Age

b. Sex

c. Grade Level

2. What is the level of Parental Involvement in the New Normal

according to the following areas?

a. Learning Support System

b. Parenting Capabilities

c. Parent-Teacher Partnership

3. What is the level of Parental Involvement in the New Normal when

grouped according to the aforementioned variables?

4. Is there a significant difference in the level of Parental Involvement

in the New Normal when grouped and compared according to the

aforementioned variables?
Hypothesis

There is no significant difference in the level of Parental

Involvement in the New Normal when grouped and compared

according to the aforementioned variables.

Assumptions of the Study

The Parental Involvement in the New Normal varies to a certain

Level.

Scope of the Study

The study was limited to describing the parental involvement of

parents in one of the secondary schools in the Division of Negros

Occidental for the school year 2023-2024. The profile of the

respondents includes age, sex, and grade level. The level of parental
involvement in three areas was the learning support system, parenting

capabilities, and parent-teacher partnership. The study utilized a

descriptive research design and will make use of the 102 parents. The

data-gathering instrument was a self-made questionnaire and was

subject to validity and reliability tests. Descriptive and comparative

analytical schemes were employed, and the data gathered were

subjected to SPSS with frequency count, percentage, mean, Mann-

Whitney U test, and Kruskal Wallis H test as statistical tools.

Research Methodology

This section presents the methods used in gathering the

data among the respondents. It includes research design, the locale of

the study, respondents, data gathering instrument, validity of the

research instrument, reliability of the research instrument, data

gathering procedure, analytical schemes, and statistical tools.

Research Design

This study employed the descriptive research design.

According to Bueno (2016), this design is to describe

systematically the facts and characteristics of a given population or

area of interest, factually and accurately. Furthermore, the purpose of

this study are to collect detailed factual information that describes

existing phenomena, to identity problems or justify current conditions

and practices, to make comparisons and evaluations, and to determine

what others are doing with similar problems or situations and benefit

from their experience in making future plans and decisions.

Respondents of the Study

The respondents of the study include the 102 students

from Grade 7 to grade 10 of one of the secondary public school in

Southern part of Negros Occidental for the school year 2022-2023.

Likewise, the parents will also be part of the study as respondents.

Since the total number of target respondents are quite manageable.

Purposive sampling techniques will be employed.

Purposive Samling technique is a non-probability sampling

technique.

Data Gathering Instrument

The research instrument that will be used will be taken from an

open access source which is the Parental Involvement questionnaire.

The instrument includes items from each domains and has likert scale

that ranges from 5 to 1 and is a checklist. The part 1 of the instrument

is Profile of the parents, the second part is the involvement of the

parents subdivided in three categories such as capabilities of the

parents, willingness to participate and responsibility of the parents.

The results were gathered and recorded; later, they were

analyzed using SPSS. The respondents were asked to rate each item

using the five-point Likert scale, which contains the following scores: 5

– Always; 4 – Often; 3 – Sometimes; 2 – Rarely; and 1 – Almost never.

Research Ethics Protocol

The researcher will ensure that no personal data compromising

the respondents' identity will be collected in adherence to the Data

Privacy Act of 2012, specifically on accessing the data both by the

researcher and the analyst. The researcher will be the only person with

access to all data gathered. The respondents will be assured that no

information that discloses their identity will be released or published

without their consent to the said disclosure, except when necessary to

protect their rights and welfare. Likewise, all collected materials will be

appropriately disposed of by machine shredding or dissolved in water

after the publication of the study. Furthermore, soft copies of the data

will be deleted with no chance of future retrieval.

Analytical Schemes

Objective no. 1 descriptive analytical scheme was used to

determine the profile of the respondents in terms of Age, Sex, Grade

Level.
 Objective no. 2 descriptive analytical scheme was used to

determine the level of Parental Involvement in the New Normal

according to Learning Support System, Parenting Capabilities, and

Parent-Teacher Partnership.

Objective no. 3 descriptive analytical scheme was also used to

determine the level of Parental Involvement in the New Normal when

grouped according to the aforementioned variables.

Objective no. 4 comparative analytical scheme was used to

determine the level of Parental Involvement in the New Normal when

grouped and compared according to the aforementioned variables.

Statistical Tools

Objective no. 1 to determine the profile of the respondents in

terms of Age, Sex, and Grade Level, the frequency count and

percentage was used.

This statistical tool is appropriate to be used in establishing the

typical characteristics of the group respondents of the study. A

percentage frequency distribution displays data that specifies the

percentage of observations that exist for each data point or grouping

of data points. A frequency distribution provides categorical

information on number of occurrences. Summarized data allows for

faster reader assessment of a described sample than reading through

individual quantitative statements. (Burrell and Motel, 2017).

 Objective no. 2 To determine the level of Parental Involvement in

the New Normal according to Learning Support System, Parenting

Capabilities, and Parent-Teacher Partnership mean was used.

The statistical mean has a wide range of applicability in various

types of experimentation. This type of calculation eliminates random

errors and helps to derive a more accurate result than a result derived

from a single experiment. The statistical mean can also be used to

interpret statistical data. Mean is best used for a data set with

numbers that are close together (Jackson, 2021).

The mean scores will be interpreted as follows:

Range Score Verbal Interpretation

4.50 - 5.00 Very High Level

3.50 - 4.49 High Level

2.50 – 3.49 Moderate Level

1.50 – 2.49 Low Level

1.00 – 1.49 Very Low Level

Objective no. 3 to determine the level of Parental Involvement in the

New Normal when grouped according to the aforementioned variables,

mean was also used.

Objective no. 4 which is to find out whether or not a significant

difference exists in the level of Parental Involvement in the New

Normal when grouped and compared according to the aforementioned

variables, Mann Whitney U test was used for Age and Sex, while

Kruskal Wallis H test for grade level.

According to LaMorte (2017), Mann Whitney U test is a non-

parametric test, sometimes called the Mann Whitney Wilcoxon Test or

the Wilcoxon Rank Sum Test, is used to test whether two samples are

likely to derive from the same population. Kruskal Wallis H test is

another nonparametric test which is used to compare three or more

independent groups. This is the counterpart of the F test (ANOVA) in

par

Finally, the computation of the p-value is interpreted using the

following guide Reject the null hypothesis if the p-value is equal to or

less than 0.05 level of significance and Accept the null hypothesis if

the p-value is greater than 0.05 level of significance.
