Influencia de los padres de familia en el bajo rendimiento académico de los niños de 5to año, de la Unidad Educativa 23 de Abril

Introduction. This study analyzes the influence of the family environment on the low academic performance of Fifth Grade students at the 23 de Abril Educational Unit. Materials and Methods. A quantitative, non-experimental, correlational, and descriptive study. A Likert survey was applied to a purposive sample of 10 students. Results and Discussion. 90% of parents rarely supervise tasks, and 100% of students perceive a dysfunctional affective climate. This correlates with the lack of concentration (90%), evidencing a critical home-school disconnection. Conclusions. The lack of affection and pedagogical accompaniment is a determinant in demotivation and absenteeism. Implementing family co-responsibility strategies is required to reverse school failure.
