Parental Factors Affecting Student's Self-Concept and Academic Performance Amid Modular Distance Learning

Nelda B. Caasi Palawan National School, Puerto Princesa City, Palawan, Philippines Parental factors impact students’ self-concept and academic performance during the pandemic. Thus, this study determined the students’ self-concept and academic performance and the parental factors related to it. The research design was descriptive-correlational, and 500 nonrandom college students in West Philippines participated in the study. Researcher-made instruments were used, which were subjected to reliability and validity evaluation. Data were collected online from June 2021 to July 2022 and were analyzed using descriptive (frequency counts and percentage) and inferential statistics (Spearman correlation). Results revealed a positive self-concept and satisfactory academic performance among the students. Besides, parental factors such as educational attainment and school/classroom involvement are significantly related to self-concept and academic performance. Further, self-concept is significantly associated with academic performance. This shows that some parental factors are vital in developing the student’s self-beliefs and supporting their studies and academic endeavors amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Future studies may consider more factors related to academic achievement and self-concept. Other researchers may find the mediation or moderation effect of self-concept between parental factors and students’ scholastic achievement.

English language enjoys its glory as an official language of Pakistan. It is used widely as a medium of instruction in educational organizations. The main focus of this investigation is to explore the causes of anxiety in speaking English as a second language at elementary level in district Sialkot. This investigation also aimed at determining the difference in speaking English as second language among eighth grade students at elementary level, if any across gender, school type and qualification. The design of the study was quantitative. Population of this study was comprised on all 110 publics (76 boys and 34 girls) and 20 private elementary schools of tehsil Sialkot. As far as sample of study is concerned 300 students of 8th grade was the sample of the study, out of which 150 students (75 girls and 75 boys) were from public and 150 students (75 boys and 75 girls) were from private elementary schools. Data were collected from 12 elementary schools (6 public elementary schools and 6 private elementary schools) of tehsil Sialkot, with the help of simple random sampling technique. Research tool used for data collection was ?Foreign Language Classroom Anxiety Scale? (FLCAS) questionnaire which was presented by Horwitz, Horwitz, & Cope?s (1986). This adopted instrument was consisted on 33 Likert type statements having 5 sub-scales. Mean and standard deviation was applied in the SPSS on the factors of FLCAS to find out the causes of anxiety in speaking English among the 8th grade students at elementary level in district Sialkot. Inferential statistics like t-test was applied in the SPSS to determine the difference of anxiety scores between gender (male/female) and school type (public/private) while ANOVA was done in SPSS to determine the anxiety scores of students taught by teachers having different academic background. The findings revealed that majority of the elementary students were having fear of speaking English in English language classroom and this factor is the main cause of anxiety among elementary students. Results revealed that negative relationship was found between school type and gender while having anxiety in speaking English among 8th grade students. Results also showed significant difference with regard to qualification of teachers. Considering the English language anxiety issues among 8th grade students of elementary schools in district Sialkot, it is recommended that in both public and private elementary schools, language teachers create a stress free, informal, friendly, and mastering environment. Little communicative activities like drama, role-play and motivation provoking techniques in a studying environment should be utilized. In public elementary schools, a language teacher should assign some task as homework for the preparation of next class so that students may prepare well and creates such an environment in language class in which all students participate in ongoing discussion without any hesitation. Private schools should not appoint less qualified and untrained teachers as they are also the main cause of creating anxiety in speaking English among students. Male and female 8th grade students of both sectors should constantly be prompted to practice English language speaking activities inside and outside the classroom without bothering little grammatical mistakes.
