Abstract
Learners’ behavior is basically an offshoot of the environment and effect different factors which include parenting. This study determined the Parenting Style of the parents and its effect on the behavior of the leaners. Data were statistically treated with the suitable statistical tools such as mean and standard deviation, frequency and percentage Distribution, and Cramer’s V. The respondents are learners and teachers from Dansalan Annex Elementary School located at Dansalan, Sapad, Lanao del Norte. The researcher used Parenting Style and Dimensions Questionnaire (PSDQ) and Children Behavior Checklist (CBC). Results showed that the respondents had experienced an authoritative way of parenting and revealed to have positive effect on the behavior of the learners. It revealed that there is a significant relationship between the authoritative, permissive, and uninvolved parenting to the learner’s behavior. In contrast, authoritarian, has no significant relationship on the behavior of the learners. It is therefore recommended that the participation and support from the parents is needed in establishing a positive outcome in terms in the behavioral development of the learners and linked to have an influence on their academic performance.
