Resumen

This quantitative, exploratory, and correlational study aimed to deter mine the correlation between pedagogical support and academic performance in the Communication course. The sample consisted of 338 6th-grade primary school students from the district of Los Olivos in Lima, Peru. Of these, 173 (51.2%) were male and 165 (48.8%) were female, with a mean age of 11.5 years. A Likert-type survey with two dimensions, namely Pedagogical Support Environment and Teaching and Learning Process, was used (15 items). The data were processed using IBM SPSS v.25 software. The results indicated a significant correlation (p < 0.01) between academic performance and both dimensions of pedagogical support. These findings highlight the importance of an effective pedagogical support environment and a conducive teaching and learning process in promoting students' academic performance in the Communication course.
