Abstract Mentoring and monitoring practices are deemed important in tertiary education because they support student success and teacher growth. The study examined the relationship between mentoring and monitoring practices and the academic commitment of first-year students at PHINMA schools. This study identified numerous challenges encountered by freshmen students including personal, academic, financial, and social challenges that affect their performance. It emphasized the need for effective mentoring and monitoring practices to address these challenges. It aimed to determine the respondent characteristics, their extent of mentoring and monitoring practices, and academic commitment. It also ascertained if there was an existence of a relationship or difference among the variables in the study. The study used a descriptive correlational research design to examine the relationship between mentoring and monitoring practices and academic commitment. Data were collected from 190 first-year students at PHINMA-Cagayan de Oro College campuses in Carmen, Iligan, and Puerto. Slovin's formula was used to get the required sample size, and respondents were selected through stratified random sampling. Descriptive statistics such as mean, standard deviation, frequency, and percentage was used. Also, Pearson's product-moment correlation and T-test were used to determine the significant relationship between variables.
The results indicate a significant relationship between mentoring and monitoring practices and students' academic commitment. The higher the mentoring and monitoring practices, the higher the academic commitment of the students become. The research study found that role model, growth mindset, and decision-making practices have a positive influence on students' academic commitment. The study highlights that emotional commitment and role model has the ability to increase students’ academic commitments. Parents and students should cooperate to help advisers in maintaining to inculcate in the hearts and minds of the students the importance of goal setting, knowing what they want to become, reminding them how choices affect their future, setting realistic expectations, being flexible, knowing their purpose, identifying potentials and weaknesses so that they can think strategically and ensure their decisions align with their visions.
