Participación activa de los padres en el rendimiento académico de los estudiantes de educación básica media

Abstract

The active participation of parents plays a determining role in their children's academic performance. Constant involvement in school life reinforces the values of responsibility, commitment, and motivation towards learning. Thus, the active involvement of parents not only strengthens the family bond and provides a supportive environment that favors the student's educational success. This research aims to analyze how parents' active participation influences the academic performance of middle school students. The methodology applied is a systematic literature review guided by the PRISMA method, detailing the selection and exclusion process of articles contributing to the research. The vocabulary was obtained from UNESCO and ERIC thesauruses, and a thorough search was conducted using the RAYYAN tool. The digital databases of the Catholic University of Cuenca, such as Web of Science, Scopus, Erick, and ProQuest, were used. Sixteen articles contributed to the study, which addresses the fact that the active participation of parents is one of the most influential factors in the academic performance of students and shows that this active participation is a fundamental element in ensuring academic success and reaching students' maximum potential in the fulfillment of their academic objectives. It is necessary to implement new strategies to promote parental involvement in their children's education and to prioritize considering contributions from other disciplines, understanding that the current practices of family-school relationships within the school appear to be exhausted.
