Prácticas restaurativas y la adaptación académica

Abstract

This current research was conducted to analyze the relationship between restorative practices and academic adaptation of students from fifth, sixth, and seventh grade E.G.B. at Unidad Educativa ¨Ricardo Descalzi¨. This study was conducted because various conflicts were identified that affect students’ adaptation and their academic performance as well, resulting in a low level of adaptation among most students and revealing difficulties in emotional aspects and their participation in the educational setting. On the other hand, this research was carried out using a quantitative approach with a descriptive and correlational scope, it was applied a student survey as the data collection method. Consequently, this allowed a better understanding of the level of adaptation, additionally, it provided insight into the implementation of restorative practices. According to the information obtained and the results, it was determined that restorative practices did significantly influence academic adaptation because students at the institution, through the application of these practices, would improve their school environment, and relationships between teachers and students would also be strengthened, which would help create a harmonious school environment. Furthermore, it is recommended that the institution implement restorative strategies to help improve the school environment and the educational process, as the research conducted indicates that the application of such strategies is limited and requires constant reinforcement to improve it.
