ABSTRACT  
The main purpose of this study is to determine the mediating effect of parental involvement on the  
relationship between teacher support and student motivation in learning science. The respondents of this  
study were the 101 Grade 12 students of Samal Senior High School in Island Garden City of Samal who  
were selected through universal purposive sampling. It utilized a descriptive-correlational design with  
mediation analysis. The researcher used a three-part survey questionnaire, and the data was treated using  
Mean, Pearson-r, and mediation analysis. The results revealed that teacher support directly affects student  
motivation, and parental involvement significantly mediates the relationship, with an indirect effect  
estimated at 0.114 (SE = 0.0371, z = 3.07, p < 0.01). The direct effect of teacher support on student  
motivation is statistically significant, estimated at 0.544 (SE = 0.0637, z = 8.54, p < 0.001), and has yielded  
a highly significant total effect of 0.658 (SE = 0.0592, z = 11.12, p < 0.001), highlighting the strong impact  
of both teacher support and parental involvement on student motivation in learning science. Therefore, it is  
recommended that teachers build a positive relationship with parents to create an innovative classroom  
action plan with them as part of the school’s developmental plan program. Also, parents should be  
committed to their children’s needs. In this regard, students can be stimulated through science activities,  
webinars, training, or lectures provided by the school administrator and teachers to boost their interest in  
learning the subject.

INTRODUCTION  
Understanding how parental involvement affects teacher support and student motivation in science learning  
can result in significant changes in teaching methods, improved teacher-parent collaboration, and enhanced  
student interest in science education. Although research indicates a favorable correlation between teacher  
support and student motivation, questions remain regarding how parent involvement mediates this  
relationship, especially in science education.  
Motivation is essential for students’ academic performance, and students must remain motivated throughout  
their studies despite challenges. The prominent people responsible for motivating students are teachers who  
interact with students at school and parents who interact with students at home. Teacher support is a direct  
factor in student academic achievement, and student’s perceptions of teacher support stimulate autonomous  
learning motivation and interest in learning (Johnson, 2017). On the other hand, a home environment plays a  
vital role in students’ development and is an integral part of school education (Khan et al., 2019).

In Sweden, it has been recorded that one out of every four students dropped out due to a lack of motivation  
despite the new high school curriculum, which was designed to increase the number of students (Boström &  
Bostedt, 2020). Moreover, Zaccoletti et al. (2020) proved that children’s schooling in Italian and Portuguese  
families during the pandemic was important for increasing academic motivation. However, it was reported  
that students who received little to no support from their families performed lower academically and even to  
the extent of dropping out.  
In the Philippines, specifically at Siniloan Integrated National High School (SINHS) in Laguna, it was  
revealed that teachers have a more significant influence on students’ learning styles, and it was confirmed  
that the senior student of SINHS under the TVL strand showed intrinsic and extrinsic motivation (Garcia &.  
Nuguid, 2021). Additionally, it was found that the parents of Central Mindanao University Laboratory High  
School (CMULHS) students had undervalued the necessity of parental involvement, as evidenced by their  
children’s academic achievement due to their lack of concern (Balasico& Tan, 2020).  
Moreover, in Davao City, research has been conducted to identify the challenges academics face due to  
conflict with responsibilities at home and a poor learning environment. With this, there is a need to provide  
students with essential external support (parental and interpersonal) to adjust their attitude toward learning  
science (Nartatez, 2020). Additionally, Biongan (2015) stated that teacher creativity strengthens students’  
motivational preferences as a critical element in the educational journey and path to excellence for Grade 9  
students in Davao Region.  
Statement of the Problem  
This study investigates the mediating effect of parental involvement between student motivation and teacher  
support in science. Motivation determines student performance in science classes, significantly impacting  
career opportunities (Capunitanet al., 2023). Despite the support provided by teachers, many students still  
struggle to stay motivated and engaged in their studies. Failure to address this issue could result in lower  
academic performance, reduced participation in science-related activities, and inadequate preparation for  
future careers (Bunijevac, 2017). Therefore, it is essential to identify the relationship of teacher support  
specifically in terms of the teacher’s attitude, instructional support, and learning environment; parental  
involvement in regards to financial support, emotional support, and informational support; and understand  
how peer influence, intrinsic motivation, and self-determination influence student motivation in learning  
science.  
REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE  
A. Teacher Support  
Supporting learning is the most important goal of school education. In addition to individual factors,  
teachers are one of the most important determinants of student achievement. Good teaching strategies  
require teachers’ full attention and support since teachers cannot create a supportive learning environment if  
they give the impression that they do not care or are not interested in a particular subject or student (Ekperi  
et al., 2019).While some teachers show support by offering encouragement, resources, and specific  
guidance, others may unintentionally create hurdles due to a lack of engagement, inconsistent feedback, or  
restricted access to individualized assistance (Radil et al., 2023). Those who receive consistent and positive  
teacher support are more likely to feel encouraged, motivated, and engaged in their studies than those who  
receive inconsistent or less supportive teaching approaches (Tas et al., 2019).  
1) Teachers’ Attitude: Attitudes are a significant component of human behavior and influence how teachers  
and students interact, affecting students’ academic performance. Shittu and Oanite (2015) found that poor

ISSN No. 2454-6186 | DOI: 10.47772/IJRISS |Volume VIII Issue IIIS April 2024 | Special Issue on Education  
government attitudes, job dissatisfaction, low remuneration, delayed salary, low student interest in learning,  
and lack of teaching materials influence teachers’ attitudes negatively. Moreover, Ekperi et al. (2019)  
observed that teachers with negative attitudes are not approachable to students; therefore, students often  
struggle to ask questions about subjects’ gray areas, leading to a gradual loss of interest.  
2) Instructional Support: Instructional support is a strategy to improve students’ academic learning,  
enabling them to practice existing knowledge, integrate new skills, and grow more (Lerang et al., (2021). As  
students mature, they are faced with more complex tasks, but with the appropriate instructional support, it  
can aid in improving student cognition and learning. However, there is wide variation in the quality of  
education teachers provide, suggesting that many students need quality instructional support (Gitomer et al.,  
2014).  
3) Learning Environment: The term “learning environment” describes the pedagogical, social, and  
psychological framework that supports the learning process, affecting students’ cognitive, motivational,  
emotional, and behavioral outcomes. Effective use of methods, techniques, and tools is essential for creating  
an effective teaching and learning atmosphere in the classroom, which motivates the students to engage and  
play an active role in the process (Yilmaz et al., 2017). Additionally, practical methods, techniques, and  
tools are crucial for maintaining a conducive learning environment inside the classroom and fostering  
student engagement and active participation. (Adesua & Acomolafe, 2015).  
B. Motivation of Students  
Motivation is the inner force that directs thoughts, emotions, and actions, characterized by goal-oriented  
behavior and persistence, as inspiring action requires effort and dedication over time (Reid & Mubeen,  
2014). It also influences how information is processed, enhancing cognitive processes and encouraging  
students to understand and investigate content, thus influencing student learning and success by influencing  
activity initiation and continuation (Suhag et al., 2016).  
1) Peer Influence. Peer influence plays a significant role in students’ social, emotional, and academic  
development. In a study by Filade et al. (2019), the results show that understanding peer groups’  
perspectives is crucial for improving school academic performance and organizational design. Students with  
positive peer relationships have higher psychological well-being and better adjustment than students who do  
not have positive peer relationships. Additionally, students tend to be more motivated and perform better  
academically than those whose peers have problems with peer relationships (Wentzel et al., 2021).  
2) Intrinsic Motivation. It is non-instrumental, meaning that an intrinsically motivated action does not  
depend on an outcome that is separable from the action itself but that its means and ends are the same. When  
a person is intrinsically motivated, he or she acts out of enjoyment or challenge rather than because of  
external factors such as pressure or reward (Legault, 2016). Furthermore, based on Deci and Ryan’s (1985)  
self-determination theory cited by Gustiani(2020), intrinsic learning motivation stems from enjoyment and  
encouragement, influencing physical activity and challenging learning activities, thus driving individuals to  
engage in exciting and challenging learning experiences.  
3) Self-determination. Self-determination, as a psychological construct, refers to self-initiated actions based  
on one’s own will rather than actions caused by other people. According to Nota et al. (2011), Self-  
determination is an intentional, deliberate decision that shapes a person’s conduct and offers a framework  
for assessing circumstances and responding appropriately.  
C. Parental Involvement  
Parental involvement refers to the assistance that a family extends to its members. In other words, parental

INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF RESEARCH AND INNOVATION IN SOCIAL SCIENCE (IJRISS)  
ISSN No. 2454-6186 | DOI: 10.47772/IJRISS |Volume VIII Issue IIIS April 2024 | Special Issue on Education  
involvement promotes family values and goals by supporting, providing, and motivating family members to  
meet their needs (Kamaryati & Malathum, 2020). Furthermore, Bland and Stevenson (2018) discussed that  
family support is a motivational factor that helps reduce stress in college students. This is also  
supported by several researchers who have stated that it is essential for students to receive support and  
encouragement from their families to develop resilience and determination. Therefore, providing different  
types of family support can positively impact students’ academic performance (Kuh, 2018). However,  
discrepancies in various sorts of parental support can create an uneven playing field, with kids who receive  
support being more motivated and supported by their teachers than those who do not. This disparity  
highlights the importance of schools engaging parents and providing tools to help bridge these gaps,  
ensuring that all students benefit equally from teacher support and parental involvement.  
1) Financial Support. Financial support is a form of support one person provides to another through funds,  
goods, or services. A study by Moneva and Jumag (2020) found that students rely primarily on their parents’  
and family’s income to finance their studies. Students’ motivation to learn is influenced by their parents’  
financial support, with higher-income families reporting better access to school resources and higher  
motivation. Similarly, Bland and Stevenson (2018), in their study on family issues, explore how UK higher  
education students’ parents provide financial and material support. They highlight that long-distance  
relationships can hinder academic participation and increase stress and anxiety for students dependent on  
their parent’s ability to provide resources.  
2) Emotional Support. Emotional support refers to the efforts of one person to help another person cope with  
perceived emotional distress. According to Roksa and Kinsley (2019), the emotional support of the family  
impacted the academic performance of low-income college students. Although these low-income college  
students receive less financial support from their parents, they receive more emotional support because their  
parents are more emotionally invested in their children’s college education. Additionally, Bland and  
Stevenson (2018) found that UK higher education students require emotional support for academic stress.  
However, those distant from their families often experience isolation due to the inability to share their  
experiences with their families.  
3) Informational Support. The term is defined as a form of support that includes messages containing  
information such as knowledge, facts, advice, instructions, suggestions, and feedback to family members,  
leading to the flow of communication and information between family members (Friedman, 1998), as cited  
by Handayani & Usman (2021). This definition is similar to the interpretation of House (1981), as cited by  
Zavatkay (2015), who defines informational support as a type of support that consists of advice,  
instructions, suggestions, and information given to someone.  
D. Theoretical Framework  
The study’s theoretical framework is based on the Self-determination Theory (SDT) by Ryan and Deci  
(2017). According to SDT, individuals strive for autonomy, competence, and relatedness in their actions  
through intrinsic motivation, which highlights the role of internal psychological needs in promoting human  
development, well-being, and long-term engagement. As such, self-determination theory was considered  
appropriate for several reasons. First, it depends on the individual’s capacity for self-determination and the  
ability to decide about his or her actions freely. Second, the theory assumes that an individual’s self-  
determination efforts represent the motivation for action. Third, behavioral motivation is influenced by an  
individual’s perception of the external environment, which can be divided into two categories: a sense of  
autonomy and a sense of being in control. Fourth, suppose the external environment can satisfy a person’s  
sense of competence and belonging; in that case, that person’s innate tendency to internalize and integrate  
will be stimulated, and external rules and requirements will be transformed into internal identity values.  
Therefore, this theory can be applied to explain the influence of parent and teacher support on students’

motivation.  
METHOD  
A descriptive correlation research design with mediation analysis was utilized in this study. Specifically,  
according to Baker (2017), a descriptive-correlation research design is the method used to determine the  
relationship or association between the two variables of a study. In line with this, a descriptive-correlation  
design was employed to identify the multiple variables involved and if they are associated with each other.  
Mediation analysis also evaluated the magnitude of various paths and mechanisms by which exposure may  
impact a result. (Vander Weele, 2016). This is appropriate because it examines how parental involvement  
mediates the link between teacher support and student motivation.  
This study used a researcher-made survey questionnaire to analyze the relationship between teacher support,  
parental involvement, and student motivation. The three-part survey questionnaires were subjected to the  
validation of expert and reliability test. Using universal purposive sampling, questionnaires were distributed  
via Google form survey questionnaire to the identified one hundred (101) Grade 12 students from Samal  
Senior High Schools in Island Garden City of Samal for the academic year 2023- 2024. Analysis of the data  
from the retrieved questionnaire utilized the following statistical tools: mean, Pearson r, and mediation  
analysis. The Likert Scales below was used to describe the data.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONS  
This chapter discusses the findings on the mediating effect of parental involvement on the relationship  
between teacher support and student motivation in learning science. The discussion was organized in the  
order of the sub-problems as follows: level of teacher support in learning science; level of parental  
involvement in learning science; level of student motivation in learning science; the relationship between  
teacher support and student motivation in learning science; the relationship between teacher support and  
parental involvement in learning science; the relationship between parental involvement and student  
motivation in learning science and the mediating effect of parental involvement on the relationship between  
teacher support and student motivation in learning science.  
A. Level of Teacher Support in Learning Science  
The succeeding table provides the findings of a study that aimed to assess teacher support in learning  
science in terms of teacher attitude, instructional support, and learning environment.

As seen from the table above, out of the three (3) indicators of teacher support in learning science, the  
Learning Environment attained the highest mean of 3.97, which is a descriptive level of high. This means  
that overall, the findings from this study indicate a high level of teacher support in learning science in terms  
of the learning environment. The results reveal that teachers provide access to reliable resources, adjust  
teaching styles, create conducive classrooms, encourage equal participation, and use instructional materials  
that promote active learning. These positive perceptions of the learning environment contribute to a

stimulating and effective science education for students.  
The result was supported by the study of Yilmaz et al. (2017), which stated that one of the most critical  
factors impacting student motivation is the instructional method, which refers to the pedagogies used to  
achieve learning goals. It is critical to successfully utilize tactics, strategies, and tools inside the classroom  
to establish an effective teaching and learning environment that enables students to participate in and engage  
with the learning process actively. Furthermore, the relationship between the classroom environment and  
academic accomplishment, as observed by Adesua and Akomolafe (2015), emphasizes the necessity of  
modern, well-equipped, and welcoming learning environments. Teachers create a conducive learning  
environment by significantly influencing student behavior and academic achievement. This underscores the  
necessity of continuous teacher training and classroom infrastructure investment to ensure equal  
opportunities for all students.  
The next indicator is the teacher’s attitude, which generated a mean of 3.81, described as high. The results  
imply that teachers compliment and express concern for students’ academic work, demonstrate fairness, use  
humor effectively, and actively encourage creativity. These positive perceptions of teacher support  
contribute to a conducive learning environment for students in the field of science.  
The result is supported by the study of Ekperi et al. (2019), which stated that teachers’ attitudes are  
favorably and strongly connected with students’ academic success. It has also been shown that low  
government attitudes towards teachers, a lack of job satisfaction, low pay and delayed salaries, students’  
willingness to study, and a lack of resources for teaching materials and instructional support all have an  
impact on teachers’ attitudes (Shittu &Oanite, 2015).This connection underscores the importance of factors  
such as teacher satisfaction, adequate resources, and government support in shaping educators` attitudes,  
which can significantly influence student motivation and achievement.  
Of the three (3) indicators, instructional support had the lowest mean of 3.78, which was described as high.  
The results reveal that teachers actively communicate and provide advice, assist students in understanding,  
use various teaching strategies, suggest insights for improvement, and inform about scholarship programs.  
These positive perceptions of instructional support contribute to a conducive learning environment for  
students in the field of science.  
The result is supported by a study by Lerang et al. (2021) wherein students in classrooms with high-quality  
instructional support utilize existing knowledge, integrate new abilities, learn, and grow more than students  
in schools with low-quality instructional support as students mature, they face increasingly complicated  
activities, but with the proper instructional support, it can help improve student cognition and learning.  
Additionally, it was found in the study of Kiuru et al. (2015) study that students who had lesser academic  
skills later on received more help and attention from their teachers. However, there is significant variation in  
the quality of education teachers deliver, implying that many pupils need adequate instructional support  
(Gitomer et al., 2014).  
Overall, the level of teacher support in learning science attained a mean of 3.84, which is described as high.  
This means that teacher support of Grade 12 students of Samal Senior High School is above average, and  
teachers often provide their students with an excellent attitude, instructional support, and learning  
environment. Such high levels of teacher support can significantly improve student enthusiasm,  
engagement, and academic success in science and other subjects.  
In connection, Liu et al. (2016) found that teacher support can be critical to students’ academic growth,  
encompassing learning and affective or emotional outcomes. Many studies have indicated that teacher  
support was strongly positively connected with positive academic emotions and negatively correlated with  
bad ones. However, their effect sizes differ dramatically between studies. Also, teacher support improves

teacher’s interaction with their students, wherein teachers who encourage students and are concerned for  
their students are likely to reciprocate with good behavior and students who adhere to classroom norms  
(Longobardi et al., 2016).  
B. Level of Parental Involvement in Learning Science  
The succeeding tables present the findings and interpretation regarding parental involvement in learning  
science regarding financial, emotional, and informational support.

In Table 5 above, it can be observed that of the three (3) indicators of parental involvement in learning  
science, financial support attained the highest mean of 3.71, which has a descriptive level of high. This  
means the level of parental involvement in learning science, specifically in financial support. While parents  
excel in providing financial and food security for the family, as well as sufficient money for school projects  
and ensuring access to necessary resources, there is room for improvement in consistently rewarding  
academic achievements and providing extra money for personal needs. The results emphasize the  
importance of parental involvement in supporting their child’s learning and highlight areas where further  
support may be beneficial.  
The result was supported by a study conducted by Bland and Stevenson (2018), which investigated how UK  
higher education students’ parents offer financial and material help. They emphasize that long-distance  
relationships might impair academic involvement and cause stress and worry for students who rely on their  
parents’ capacity to offer resources. Additionally, a survey conducted by the National Student Financial  
Wellness (2015) shows that financial support from parents aids students in being motivated in their  
academics and reduces the stress that affects their mental health. Additionally, insufficient financial support  
from the students crowds out the brain’s ability to focus on their academics, leading to more risky decision-  
making with potentially disastrous consequences.  
The second indicator for parental involvement in learning science, emotional support, got the second highest  
mean of 3.56, with a descriptive level of high. While parents excel in motivating their children,  
complimenting their achievements, and fostering a positive self-image, there is room for improvement in  
consistently talking to their children when they face academic problems and being nonjudgmental. The  
results emphasize the importance of emotional support from parents in enhancing their child’s learning  
experience and highlight areas where further support may be beneficial.  
According to Roksa and Kinsley (2019), the emotional support of one’s family significantly impacts the  
academic performance of low-income college students. Despite receiving less financial support from their  
parents, low-income college students receive more emotional support than financial support from their  
parents. Also, Bland and Stevenson (2018) found that higher education students value emotional support  
when dealing with academic stress, such as tests, assignments, and deadlines. The emotional support  
received by these students from their family members often included words of motivation, encouragement,  
and confidence. These studies highlight the complex persona of support in academic environments. While  
financial resources are important, emotional support is critical in shaping students’ attitudes, motivation, and

overall achievement, especially for those struggling financially.  
The third indicator, informational support, got the lowest mean of 3.28 among the three indicators of  
motivation, which is described as moderate. The findings suggest a mix of moderate and high levels of  
parental involvement in informational support for learning science. While parents engage in conversations,  
teach beyond the curriculum, and explain complex ideas, there is room for improvement in explaining  
challenging assignments and promoting independent learning.  
According to a study by Zavatkay (2015), informational support is crucial, especially for low-income  
college students and those whose parents cannot complete a four-year university degree. Despite being the  
primary source of support, informational support from parents tends to decline as help from peers and  
instructors grows.  
Further, the overall level of parental involvement in learning science got a mean score of 3.51, with a  
descriptive level of high. Parents often provide financial, emotional, and informational support to their  
children. This implies that the parents of the Grade 12 students often provided financial and emotional  
support and were only sometimes able to provide informational support. It may also imply that parents are  
actively interested in their children’s overall well-being and educational needs, such as through financial  
support and emotional support. However, the lack of informational support may indicate a need for more  
communication or tools to aid parents in offering academic guidance or information about learning science.  
In connection with the findings, emotional and financial support from parents is essential in social support  
that helps students succeed academically (Ullah et al., 2023). However, the lack of informational support  
shows that parents may need more preparation to help their children with academic material, particularly in  
specialist subjects such as science. This disparity suggests a need for improved communication and  
resources to assist parents in providing more effective academic advice. Moreover, Yang et al. (2023)  
highlight the need for more targeted ways to increase parental involvement, mainly informational support.  
The authors advocate for improved communication between schools and parents and programs that provide  
parents with the knowledge and tools to support their children’s academic pursuits properly.  
C. Level of Student Motivation in Learning Science  
Table 6 below presents the level of student motivation in learning science in terms of peer influence,  
intrinsic motivation, and self-determination.

As can be observed in the above table, out of the three (3) indicators of student motivation, peer influence  
got the highest mean of 4.06, which is described as high. This means that student motivation to learn science  
is high when influenced by peers. The findings emphasize how crucial peer support and engagement are for  
motivating students and improving learning outcomes in science classes.  
The result is supported by Filade (2019), which found that peer groups significantly influence undergraduate  
students’ academic achievement. There is a considerable association between peer groups and students’

academic success. The study revealed that peer groups could either positively or negatively influence the  
academic performance of in-school adolescents, and it was recommended that parents and teachers provide  
adolescents with the necessary guidance to help them understand how their friendships can either positively  
or negatively impact their academic performance.  
The second-highest indicator is self-determination, which has a mean of 4 and is described as high. This  
implies that students exhibit a high level of self-determination when learning science. The findings  
emphasize the importance of fostering students’ intrinsic motivation, personal determination, and utilization  
of various learning strategies to enhance their learning outcomes and academic performance in science  
education.  
This result is supported by Ketonen et al. (2018), where it was found that setting self-driven goals has  
beneficial outcomes. Students with self-determined goals are likely to have more significant positive  
outcomes in the cognitive, behavioral, and affective domains in their day-to-day learning experiences than  
those with regulated goals, which are correlated with destructive emotions, not only with the student but  
with others. This was demonstrated in the diary study carried out among college students who first  
established self-determined goals at the start of the day and experienced improved good emotions  
throughout the day compared to those who have set manageable goals.  
The last indicator of student motivation in learning science is intrinsic motivation, which got a mean of 3.66,  
which is described as high. The result implies that students exhibit high intrinsic motivation in learning  
science. The findings emphasize the importance of providing a challenging and engaging learning  
environment that fosters curiosity, personal interest, and a sense of meaning and enjoyment in science  
education.  
Recent empirical research by Froiland & Worrell (2016) has demonstrated that intrinsic motivation is an  
essential element in academic success and the pursuit of interests, which promotes learning and growth,  
where it was found to be linked to academic achievement indirectly and positively through classroom  
participation. The indirect influence of intrinsic motivation to learn on GPA via engagement and the  
favorable direct link between learning objectives and academic achievement indicate that students will  
benefit from schools encouraging learning goals.  
Overall, student motivation in learning science had an average mean of 3.90. This means that students’  
motivation is at an above-average level. Students’ motivation in terms of peer influence, intrinsic  
motivation, and self-determination is often observed.  
Additionally, Suhag et al. (2016) found that motivation is crucial in teaching and learning as it establishes  
specific goals and influences student choices. Motivation boosts effort and energy in determining whether a  
student will pursue a challenging task with an enthusiastic or lifeless attitude. It also influences how  
information is inculcated because it enhances the cognitive processes that inspire children to encourage a  
deeper understanding of information rather than simply observing learning movements. This aspect  
significantly impacts students’ learning and success by changing their initiation and continuity of the  
activities. Furthermore, the study of Muhammad et al. (2015) found that a strong positive association exists  
between motivation and academic success among college students at Sultan Zainal Abidin University. This  
suggests that boosting pupils’ motivation would improve the student’s academic performance, as  
demonstrated in their grade point average, and enhance their motivation to learn.

Table 7 presents the findings and interpretations of the relationship between teacher support and student  
motivation in learning science, specifically focusing on the variables of teacher’s attitude, instructional  
support, and learning environment. These variables were measured based on their correlation coefficients  
and corresponding p-values, which provide insights into the strength and significance of the relationship.  
The teacher’s attitude has a correlation coefficient of 0.612 and a p-value of 0.047, suggesting a moderate  
positive relationship between the teacher’s attitude and student motivation in learning science. The p-value  
of 0.047 indicates that the relationship is statistically significant, further validating teacher attitudes’  
importance in influencing student motivation. Similarly, the teacher’s instructional support exhibits a  
correlation coefficient of 0.563 and a p-value of 0.015. This indicates a moderate positive relationship  
between instructional support and student motivation in learning science. The p-value of 0.015 shows that  
this relationship is statistically significant, highlighting the significant impact of instructional support on  
student motivation.  
However, the learning environment demonstrates a correlation coefficient of 0.267 with a p-value of 0.185,  
suggesting a weak positive relationship between the learning environment and student motivation in  
learning science. With that, the p-value of 0.185 indicates that this relationship is not statistically significant,  
questioning the significance of the impact of the learning environment on student motivation.  
The result is supported by a study by Smart (2014), where it was found that teachers have the power to  
influence students’ motivation in learning science in the sense that instructors’ interactions inevitably  
increase motivation for all students in all settings. Teachers, however, should learn how their interactions  
with students could impact student motivation, particularly students’ efficacy in studying science and their  
value for the topic. In addition, teachers should be aware of how they connect with their students, for they  
may interpret strict classroom control as a teacher’s preference to immediately become angry and refuse to  
listen as negative teaching behaviors.  
The findings suggest that teachers’ attitudes and instructional support significantly influence student  
motivation to learn science. On the other hand, the relationship between learning environment and student  
motivation is weak and not statistically significant. Therefore, the learning environment only affects  
students’ motivation to learn science. These results highlight the importance of educators’ attitudes and  
instructional support in fostering student motivation in science education.  
E. Significance of the Relationship between Teacher Support and Parental Involvement in Learning  
Science  
The table explores the relationship between teacher support and parental involvement in learning science,

Table 8 shows the results of the relationship between teacher support and parental involvement in learning  
science.  
For the first variable, teacher’s attitude, the correlation coefficient is 0.212, indicating a weak positive  
relationship with parental involvement in learning science. The p-value of 0.297 suggests that this  
relationship is not statistically significant, raising questions about teacher attitudes’ impact on parental  
involvement. On the contrary, the second variable, instructional support, demonstrates a correlation  
coefficient of 0.645, indicating a moderate positive relationship with parental involvement in learning  
science. The p-value of 0.023 shows that this relationship is statistically significant, highlighting the  
importance of instructional support in influencing parental involvement. Finally, the learning environment  
exhibits a correlation coefficient of 0.675, suggesting a moderate positive relationship with parental  
involvement in learning science. The p-value of 0.038 indicates that this relationship is statistically  
significant, further confirming the impact of the learning environment on parental involvement.  
According to Chen and Wang (2019), the teachers who were passionate about their teaching created a good  
and supportive classroom environment. As a result, pupils reported more contentment and a better sense of  
belonging. This study underlines the role of teacher support in creating a positive learning environment.  
Moreover, Göktürk & Dinçkal (2017) found that teachers and parents have different viewpoints regarding  
the support needed by the student. It was then noted that a lack of understanding between parents and  
instructors can hinder their collaboration. However, it is suggested that pupils are more successful when  
their parents and teachers collaborate. In a Turkish context, Hakyemez (2015) found that teachers encourage  
parental engagement in supporting children’s academic progress at home to positively impact students’  
academic performance.  
Overall, the findings indicate that instructional support and learning environment have significant positive  
relationships with parental involvement in learning science. However, the relationship between teacher’s  
attitudes and parental involvement is weak and not statistically significant. These results highlight the  
importance of instructional support and creating a conducive learning environment to promote parental  
involvement in science education.  
F. Significance of the Relationship between Parental Involvement and Student Motivation in  
Learning Science  
The table examines the relationship between parental involvement and student motivation in learning  
science, specifically focusing on three variables: financial, emotional, and informational support.

Table 9 presents the relationship between parental involvement and student motivation in learning science.  
The correlation coefficients and corresponding p-values provide insights into the strength and significance  
of these relationships.  
The first variable, financial support, demonstrates a strong positive relationship with student motivation, as  
indicated by the correlation coefficient of 0.743. Moreover, the p-value of 0.011 suggests that this  
relationship is statistically significant, indicating that financial support is vital in fostering student  
motivation to learn science. Similarly, the parents’ emotional support positively correlates with student  
motivation. The correlation coefficient of 0.653 implies that emotional support from parents contributes to  
higher levels of student motivation in learning science. Additionally, the p-value of 0.037 indicates that this  
relationship is statistically significant, highlighting the significance of emotional support in promoting  
student motivation. Finally, the informational support shows a moderate positive relationship with student  
motivation. With a correlation coefficient of 0.669, informational support from parents is associated with  
increased student motivation in learning science. Furthermore, the p-value of 0.044 indicates statistical  
significance, emphasizing the importance of providing relevant information and guidance to students.  
More so, Harris and Robinson (2016) supported this result, finding that active parental involvement predicts  
academic performance. As a result, parents have a fundamental responsibility to improve their children’s  
academic performance. Similarly, according to Epstein (2018), parental involvement positively impacts  
children’s academic performance. Initially, the family is viewed as the earliest educational support for  
children. Parents significantly affect their children’s growth by creating a positive atmosphere for them to  
develop academic skills and self-esteem.  
The findings from this table suggest that all three forms of parental support – financial, emotional, and  
informational – play crucial roles in promoting student motivation in learning science. Specifically, financial  
support has the most substantial impact on student motivation, followed by emotional and informational  
support. These results underscore the importance of parental involvement in supporting and motivating  
students in their scientific learning journeys.

The finding from the mediation analysis shows that parental involvement plays a significant mediating role  
in the relationship between teacher support and student motivation in learning science. The indirect effect is  
estimated at 0.114, with a standard error (SE) of 0.0371. The z-value of 3.07 indicates that the indirect effect  
is statistically significant (p < 0.01), suggesting that parental involvement partially mediates the relationship  
between teacher support and student motivation in learning science. The direct effect of teacher support on  
student motivation is estimated to be 0.544, with a standard error of 0.0637. The high z-value of 8.54  
indicates a substantial and statistically significant direct effect (p < 0.001) of teacher support on student  
motivation. The total effect, combining direct and indirect effects, is estimated at 0.658, with a standard  
error of 0.0592. The large z-value of 11.12 indicates a highly significant total effect (p < 0.001), indicating  
that teacher support and parental involvement strongly influence student motivation in learning science.  
The findings supported the study conducted by Jelas et al. (2016), which found that the effectiveness of  
parental and teacher support significantly impacts academic success. This educational success can result  
from the child’s support and involvement that appropriately inspires the desire and motivation to excel  
academically. Further, Epstein (2018) revealed that parental involvement benefits children and dramatically  
affects children’s academic achievement. It was also claimed that parents’ interactions in the school  
community improve and motivate academic achievement (Cheung & Pomerantz, 2012). Since parents play  
an essential role in managing and supporting their children’s growth, their choices can help to create a  
flourishing and enlightening environment in which their children can help boost their academic potential  
and self-esteem. Effective communication and cooperation between parents and schools also encourage  
children’s academic success. Parents who participate in their children’s education and academic  
performance at home and school are actively involved (Mytton et al., 2014).  
In connection with self-determination theory (SDT; Deci & Ryan, 1985; Ryan & Deci, 2017), an individual  
will become self-determined if the three innate psychological needs are fulfilled: competence, autonomy,  
and relatedness. Professional development is the demonstration of theoretical competence. It attempts to  
exert control over our decisions and will professionally direct human development. This aligns with the  
notion that teachers who showcase professionalism and a caring attitude toward their learners lead in  
creating a supportive learning environment with positive social interactions. On the other hand, the student’s  
perception of autonomy is the sense of control in his or her study while fostering meaningful ties and  
interaction with parents and teachers while forming a bond that can correlate to relatedness.  
In summary, the results suggest that while teacher support directly affects student motivation, parental  
involvement also significantly mediates the relationship between teacher support and student motivation.  
These findings highlight the importance of teacher support and parental involvement in promoting student  
motivation in learning science.  
CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS  
Teachers promote learning by providing support, communication, and a conducive learning environment.  
They also encourage creativity, provide advice, and provide resources. At the same time, parents play a vital  
role in providing financial stability and support but must consistently reward academic achievements and  
promote independent learning. However, it is not just about teachers and parents. Peer interaction and peer  
support are essential for fostering motivation and enhancing learning outcomes in science.  
Moreover, promoting intrinsic motivation and personal determination while utilizing various learning  
strategies can significantly improve students’ academic performance. While teacher support directly affects  
student motivation, parental involvement also mediates the relationship between teacher support and student

motivation. These findings highlight the importance of teacher support and parental involvement in  
promoting student motivation in learning science.  
The study may serve as a basis for school administrators to provide training and seminars that foster  
students’ motivation to help them increase their academic performance in science. They may also serve and  
implement extension and collaboration programs akin to parenting education to have more inputs from each  
other’s insights that emphasize improving the parent and student relationship in holistic support and  
students’ interest in learning science. Moreover, it will help teachers build a positive relationship with  
parents and guardians, creating an innovative classroom action plan with them as part of the school’s  
developmental plan program. Also, to build a good relationship with their children, parents can be firmly  
committed to their children’s learning needs financially and emotionally. In this regard, students may be  
provided with various science activities, webinars, training, or lectures, which the school administrator and  
teachers will provide to boost their interest in learning the subject. It is recommended that factors not  
included as variables in the study will be focused on in future research.
