Abstract

This work shows the systematization of the project carried out with students of Basic Superior of the Adventist Private Educational Unit Quito City; the analysis of the causes that influence the poor academic performance during the COVID 19 pandemic in the period 2020-2021. The project consists of four thematic workshops on emotional self-regulation strategies, frustration management, the influence of self-esteem, study techniques, and habits. These topics were planned with the results of the polls and questionnaires that were done by ten teenagers. The approach used in the project was the humanist one, focusing on Maslow’s Theory; this theory exposes the Hierarchy of human needs. In this theory was seen that the motivation for school is closely related to academic performance and it is affected because it has not been covered the needs such as security, social needs, esteem/recognition which are the base for students fulfill with their academic and personal goals reaching self-realization. Before starting the workshops, surveys done by parents and students were required. the application of the study techniques and habits questionnaire is established which are the problems that we are going to work with. Later the planning of four workshops was carried out, and the objective was to raise awareness and give strategies to the students for managing different shortcomings presented. The methodology that I used was mixed since it covers the quantitative part because they were applied surveys and psychologists and qualitative tests, so because of this, it was required to systematize information.
