Abstract

This research work "EXPLORATION OF THE FUNCTIONS OF FAMILIES FROM THE APPLICATION OF THE FAMILY APGAR IN STUDENTS OF THE 8TH EGBS OF A SCHOOL IN THE CITY OF QUITO DURING THE 2020-2021 SCHOOL YEAR", arises from the experience of the pre-professional practices of the Educational Psychology Career. In order to know the new functions of the family from the COVID-19 pandemic. The tool applied is the family Likert APGAR scale, based on five statements: 1. Adaptation, 2. Participation, 3. Resource gradient, 4. Affectivity 5. Affective resources or capacity, references to the satisfaction felt by the person with his family nucleus. From these results it is possible to explore the functions of 204 families of students who are in the age range of 11 to 13 years who participated in this research. The project is based on the Systemic Approach with the purpose of exposing that the new functions of the family are the result of the new demands that society demands in the current context, promoting the modification of the role of families and the alteration of the function giving as a result the appearance of dysfunctional families. De la Cruz Flores (2020) mentioned that new conflicts have arisen that worsened with the pandemic, altering the functions of the family, such as: • Work activities versus school activities • Dedication to study versus deficiencies at home • Family harmony versus violence • School demands versus family academic support (p. 39). From the results obtained from the research, it is highlighted that 81% of the students live a normal function in their families. While a minimum percentage of 18% and 1% is related to mild and severe dysfunctional families.
