Abstract
This study evaluates the effectiveness of home visitation programs on the academic performance, attitudes, motivation, and parental involvement of Grade 1 pupils in the First Congressional District, Division of Quezon. Using a descriptive research design with quantitative methods, data were gathered from 183 Grade 1 teachers selected through purposive sampling. The results indicate that home visitation significantly enhances students' academic outcomes, particularly in critical thinking, engagement, and attendance. Positive effects were also observed in student attitudes, motivation, and parental involvement, with a grand mean score of 4.33 reflecting the importance of strong teacher-family partnerships. Demographic factors such as teachers' age, income, and experience, as well as the frequency of visits, influenced program effectiveness. However, challenges such as the lack of financial support for teachers during home visits were highlighted, necessitating targeted interventions. The findings emphasize the need for tailored training, allocated budgets, and stakeholder collaboration to optimize the impact of home visitation programs. The recommendations include expanding these initiatives, addressing logistical barriers, and conducting future research on their long-term effects on emotional and social development, as well as sustainability in diverse contexts.
