Abstract

The family is the behavioral and emotional pillar of their children, it has the function of offering security and social, cognitive and emotional stability. In addition, it is decisive for the student to function adequately in the school context. One of the factors that affect academic performance is family support, which is essential for the development of abilities, skills and competencies. In this sense, an investigation was carried out to determine the influence of family accompaniment on the academic performance of students, with a positivist approach, supported by a descriptive field investigation. The research subjects were made up of 34 EGB Eighth Year students from the Carlos María de la Condamine Educational Unit and 34 representatives, some of whom are adolescent parents. The results revealed that the lack of family support (absent parents, little or no affective relationship, disrespect, lack of preparation, among others), are key triggers for the poor performance of their children and/or represented. A change in the actions of parents and representatives is considered urgent, to promote interest in the subjects in their constituents, through adequate accompaniment, attending to the emotional, social and cognitive part.
