Resumen

Background: The behavior of students in academic settings is influenced by a variety of variables that shape and impact their behavioral models, particularly in terms of academic performance; the family aspect stands out as a potential cause. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between parenting styles and the academic performance of 6th-grade students at the Tierra Santa Educational Institution in the municipality of Buenavista, Córdoba. Material and methods: A non-xperimental, quantitative approach with a correlational and cross-sectional scope was employed. The research involved 77 participants in grade 6 of the institution, to whom the parenting styles survey was administered. Information was also obtained from secondary sources, such as academic records, to assess academic performance.
