This study aims to determine the impact the impact of parental expectations on the academic performance of BSOA 2nd year students at CSPC Buhi. Specifically, it seems to answer the following questions: (1.) To determine the profile of the respondents in terms of (a.) Name (b.) Age (c.) Gender (d.) Educational Attainment of Parents (e.) Socioeconomic Status (f.) Parent's Marital Status (g.) Geographic Area; (2.) The parental expectations on the academic performance of their children; (3.) The academic profile of their children; (4.) The significant relationship between parent's expectations and academic performance of their children; and (5.) Proposed recommendations to achieve and meet the parent's expectation on the academic performance of 2nd year BSOA students. The methodology used was descriptive research method.
The conclusions drawn from the study are; (1.) Majority of the respondents are adults aged 41-50 years old, female and married. Survey also shows that they are high school graduates with a minimum wage of 5,000 to 10,000 and are from the out of poblacion area. (2.) The parental expectation on the academic performance of their children concludes that parents expect their child to achieve his/her goal as student. (3.) The academic profile of their children indicates that majority of the class performance of the students belong to the higher performers. (4.) The significant relationship between parent's expectation and academic performance of their children concludes that parent's expectation is not related to the academic performance of their children. This implies that even though the students know the expectations of their parents, their performance may be affected by a lot of factors. Their achievement comes from themselves and how they handle their studies. (5.) The respondents proposed recommendations are;
1. Be positive about them to succeed. A positive attitude helps you cope easily with daily affairs of life. It increases your level of optimism and makes it easier to avoid worries and negative thinking. If you make it a way of life, it will bring about positive changes in your life, making it happier, brighter and more successful.
2. Student should be open to their parents about their struggles. It is a critical that parents and children can communicate openly and effectively with one another. When communication is effective, children begin to feel respected, heard, and understood by their parents, which boosts their self-esteem.
3. Make expectations clear, realistic and reasonable. Make them clear for yourself. It is pretty difficult to build mutually clear expectations with others if you don't know exactly what they are yourself. If you can't clearly articulate them verbally or on paper, you aren't ready for this conversation yet. And "I'll know it when I see it" isn't a clear expectation.
5. Offer support and encouragement through the process. Encouragement is essential for child development and adult health. Encouragement has more healing benefits than criticism and can boost self-esteem. Encouragement can help with self-confidence, effort, motivation, success, self-esteem and validations.
