Relación entre la funcionalidad y tipología familiar y cómo influye en el rendimiento académico de los niños, niñas y adolescentes de la Asociación RAFALEX, Cuenca – Azuay, 2024

Abstract

The academic performance of children and adolescents is influenced by family functionality and typology, which either support or limit how families address daily challenges. The purpose of the research was to analyze the relationship between family functionality, typology, and the academic performance of users of the RAFALEX association. For the development of this research, a quantitative and descriptive methodology with a correlational approach was used. Instruments such as sociodemographic forms and the Family Functioning Perception Questionnaire (FF-SIL) were applied to 141 participants, representing the total sample of the study population. The results revealed that 85.1% of the participants were female, with nuclear families being the most common at 44%, followed by single-parent families representing 34.8% of the total studied population. Regarding family functioning, 51.1% perceived it as moderately functional, providing a suitable environment for children and adolescents. In terms of academic performance, 71.6% achieved the expected learning outcomes. Thus, the research concluded that greater support, stability, and an appropriate family typology significantly contribute to improving the academic performance of children and adolescents.
