Gestión escolar y estrés académico

Abstract

This research was carried out at the “Tirso de Molina” Fiscomisional Educational Unit, located in the city of Ambato in the Izamba parish, with the purpose of analyzing the relationship between school management and academic stress in a sample of 153 third year high school students of different specialties. In Chapter I, through a bibliographic review, the independent variable “school management” and the dependent variable “academic stress” will be investigated. Chapter II shows the research methodology, which has a mixed, exploratory, descriptive and correlational approach, as well as a cross-sectional, field and bibliographic-documentary approach. In Chapter III, the analysis and discussion of each of the variables was carried out. And once the results were obtained, the verification of hypotheses was carried out by means of the Chi2 statistical calculation, which rejected the null hypothesis and accepted the alternative hypothesis, showing that school management does influence the academic stress of students. Chapter IV will show the conclusions and recommendations based on the results obtained in the research. In addition, a guide of strategies to manage stress and thus favor students' academic performance is proposed.
