Acompañamiento de las personas significativas y su relación con el desempeño escolar.

This paper presents the results obtained in a master's degree research, whose general objective was to analyze the relationship between the practices of accompanying significant persons for second grade students of the Institución Educativa Alejandro Vélez Barrientos in Envigado city with their school performance. For this, a qualitative, hermeneutic-comprehensive methodology was proposed. The participants were 6 second grade students of such institution, men, and women for each academic performance (Low, Basic, and High) and 6 significant persons, one for each student. In the collection of the analysis unit, semi-structured interviews and observations recorded in a field diary were used with the selected students, a focus group with their significant persons and a questionnaire with 20 parents of second grade students. Among the main findings is that the family and the school keep on being pillars for children's formation and their articulation is reflected on them. In addition, the accompaniment of significant people affects the students' school performance, as well as their constancy in practices and emotional well-being as a basis for other learning processes.
