Abstract

This study addresses concerns about dropout rates of school-aged children by exploring parents’ beliefs on the purpose of schooling and their parenting practices through case study design. Twenty-one (21) parents from Kibawe, Bukidnon, Philippines were chosen as participants of the study. These parents have at least one school-aged child at home who stopped schooling and were considered low-income earners. The researcher-made interview questions were content-validated and utilized to reveal the beliefs of the parents on the purpose of schooling and their parenting practices. The instance when parents justified or explained their practices using their beliefs was considered the unit of analysis. Results of the qualitative data analysis revealed that parents considered the main purpose of schooling as a “means to an end”. This implies that for the parents, the main purpose of schooling is for future employment and economic well-being. Parents also believed that people who did not finish schooling would certainly have difficulty looking for jobs with better salaries. Moreover, parenting practices were rooted in parents’ beliefs about the purpose of schooling. Parents’ parental practices may be modified capturing the beliefs that schooling is also an “end in itself”.
