Los beneficios de la orientación familiar en el contexto educativo urbano de la ciudad de Cuenca y su impacto

Abstract

The difficulties that the family is currently going through can directly or indirectly affect the academic performance of students, therefore, family orientation as an essential part of interdisciplinary work within educational institutions would become the forerunner in solving many problems. For this reason, this descriptive study aimed to identify the benefits of family orientation in the educational context and its impact. For this, a survey was applied to students, parents, authorities and teachers of 25 urban educational institutions in the city of Cuenca that have and do not have the family guidance service, at the same time a comparative analysis was carried out based on the general average and behavior obtained in the school period September 2018 - July 2019. The results indicate that within the control group, family orientation generated several benefits, and at first glance an impact on the academic performance of students, despite the hypothesis of study could not be verified. While, in the experimental group, a large percentage of respondents are between somewhat and little informed about these benefits, they also know very little about this profession and relate it to other sciences. These results invite us to reflect on the usefulness of family orientation in the educational context and the need to improve its promotion to society.
