Rol de los padres en las actividades escolares y el rendimiento académico de sus hijos

Abstract

This research aims to analyze the theoretical foundations of the role of parents in school activities and their children’s academic performance by identifying factors that influence this relationship, and parents’ perceptions of their role in their children’s education in enhancing students’ comprehensive education. The specific objectives include identifying the factors that influence the relationship between parental involvement and academic performance; analyzing the impact of parental engagement on students’ school performance; and evaluating parents’ perceptions of the barriers that hinder their active participation in their children's school life. The methodology applied was a systematic literature review, using academic sources published between 2020 and 2025. Fifteen articles were selected, each addressing the role of the family in supporting children's education. Among the most relevant studies, family support proves to be a positive strategy for strengthening children’s continuous learning in their performance inside and outside learning environments. International studies show that a lack of support and resources at home is associated with low academic achievement, while other studies indicate that constant parental support encourages students’ enthusiasm and willingness to participate. In conclusion, the active and committed role of parents in school activities is essential for comprehensive development and academic performance.
