Abstract

The general objective for this research “Tipologías familiares y su influencia en el rendimiento de los y las estudiantes de 1ro, 2do y 3ro de bachillerato de la Unidad Educativa Las Palmas” was to determine the influence exerted by the different types of families on the academic performance of 1st, 2nd and 3rd year high school students during the period September 2020 - June 2021. The research was framed in a non-experimental quantitative methodology with a descriptive level, a sample of 116 students of first, second and third year of high school and 107 legal representatives were selected. For data collection, a survey for students and another one for parents was applied through the virtual tool Google Forms due to a worldwide health emergency by Covid-19. Among the most important results, it was found that more than half of the surveyed population comes from nuclear families; it was also identified that there is no relationship or influence between the type of family and the academic performance of the students. On the other hand, most fathers, mothers and/or legal representatives accompany the educational process and the academic activities of their sons and daughters, attend school meetings, consult on the students' grades; however, they do not help in the realization of these activities, due to the hours they dedicate to work. In conclusion, the type of family that students come from does not directly influence their academic performance. Rather, other factors can determine school performance. In addition, the legal representatives of the students are directly involved in the learning processes and academic activities of those they represent.
