Abstract
The challenges of low academic performance among high school students were analyzed from an integrative perspective, considering that not only pedagogical factors influence underachievement but also emotional, family, and transgenerational elements play a role. This study is grounded in theories of emotional intelligence, neuroeducation, and transgenerational systemic approaches. The purpose of the research is to assess whether biodescodification produces significant changes in grade point averages among third-year high school students, applying statistical analysis to highlight the differences. The methodology employed follows a mixed-methods approach, with a field design and a non-probabilistic sample. The results indicate that academic blockages originate in unmanaged emotions, unconscious family loyalties, and unresolved conflicts that symbolically manifest in the student’s behavior. It is concluded that incorporating tools such as biodescodification into educational contexts can enrich the understanding of school-related symptoms and provide more human and profound solutions.
