Incidencia Del Nivel Socioeconómico En El Rendimiento Académico De Los Estudiantes De Octavo Grado De La Institución Educativa Hugues Manuel Lacouture, San Juan Del Cesar, La Guajira

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to analyze the relationship between socioeconomic level and academic performance of eighth grade students at the Hugues Manuel Lacouture Rural Educational Institution, located in La Junta, La Guajira. This study will be developed under a qualitative approach, action research type, considering the perceptions and experiences of parents and students as key elements to understand educational dynamics in this context. To collect data, questionnaires and field diaries will be used, tools that will identify specific socioeconomic factors that could be influencing the academic performance of the students. Through the analysis of the information collected, it is expected to identify the main problems that affect teaching and learning, related to the economic conditions of families and their implications for school life. The results of this work will allow us to better understand the needs of students and design specific pedagogical and social strategies that contribute to improving their academic performance. Likewise, the findings will be useful for the formulation of educational policies at the institutional level that promote equity in access to learning opportunities and reduce gaps derived from socioeconomic inequality.
