Factores que influenciam o aproveitamento pedagógico dos alunos da 6ª classe: estudo de caso da Escola Primária Completa de Bili Boane (2023 - 2024)

Abstract

This study has the general objective of analyzing the factors that influence the pedagogical use of 6th Grade students at the Bili Boane Complete Primary School (2023 – 2024). To achieve this, the objective was operationalized into three specific objectives: i. to identify the factors that influence the poor pedagogical performance of students; ii. to describe the main factors that influence poor pedagogical achievement; and, iii. to propose strategies for improving the pedagogical achievement of students. In methodological terms, a mixed approach was adopted, that is, it combined qualitative and quantitative elements. Data collection was through direct observation, semi-structured interviews and a questionnaire. The sample consisted of thirty-four (34) participants, of which one (1) member of the school administration, three (3) teachers, ten (10) parents and guardians and twenty (20) students. The data reveals that the factors influencing the poor academic performance of 6th grade students at EPC Bili Boane are complex and interdependent. The traditional teaching methodology, the lack of teaching resources and deficient infrastructure, the socioeconomic challenges faced by students, the lack of motivation, and weak family involvement are factors that, together, contribute to poor academic performance. To improve academic performance, it is necessary to adopt a holistic approach, which involves improving the school's material conditions, diversifying teaching practices, increasing social and family support for students, and implementing programs that encourage student motivation and engagement.(TRADUÇÃO NOSSA)
