Abstract

This research aimed to develop intervention strategies to improve parental participation and academic performance of 5th grade students at the National Educational Unit "Enriqueta Arvelo Larriva" in Barinas state, Venezuela. Methodologically, it was framed within the positivist paradigm with a quantitative approach, under the feasible project modality. The population consisted of 20 students, their representatives, and 10 teachers, using a survey as the main technique and a structured questionnaire with a Likert scale, validated through expert judgment and Cronbach's Alpha reliability. The initial diagnosis revealed a critical disconnection between parents' desire to support their children and the concrete actions carried out, due to time and communication barriers. Results after the implementation of the "Strengthening Program through Google Classroom" showed a 40.7% increase in the mean of parental participation and a 19.8% improvement in the overall grade average. As a main finding, it was confirmed that improved parental involvement positively influences academic scores, with the Wilcoxon test yielding Z = −2.058 (p = 0.040) for grades and Z = −3.724 (p = 0.000) for parental participation. It is concluded that ICT integration acts as an extended classroom that overcomes the physical limitations of parents. Continuous training in digital tools is recommended to strengthen the school–family bond and ensure the sustainability of academic performance.
