Collaborative Efforts of Parents and Teachers on Literacy Instructionn of the Kindergarten Learners

Abstract

This research assessed the collaborative effort of teachers and parents on the literacy instruction of kindergarten learners at the identified schools of the Aloguinsa District in the Division of Cebu Province for the School Year 2022-2023 as the basis for a Literacy Skills Enhancement Plan. It utilized a descriptive-correlation research design to determine the extent of collaboration among respondent groups on the literacy instruction of kindergarten learners. Respondents were selected using a universal sampling technique. Gathered data were treated using frequency, percentage, standard deviation, weighted mean, Likert scale, and Spearman Rho. The findings revealed that most parent-respondents were female, whose age bracket was 29-36 years old, were high school graduates, had one or two children, and earned 10,000 pesos and below. On the other hand, teacher-respondents were primarily females with masteral units, ranked teacher 1, and had six to 10 years in service. Furthermore, results indicated that the respondent groups always collaborated on the literacy instruction of the kindergarten learners. Meanwhile, there was a significant difference in the extent of collaboration among the respondent groups in literacy instruction of kindergarten learners. It is recommended that the literacy skills enhancement plan be adopted.
