Strategies to mitigate school demotivation through psychopedagogical support and guided tasks in Basic Education

Abstract

School demotivation is a frequent phenomenon that negatively affects academic performance and student retention in the education system. It is understood as a lack of interest and enthusiasm for learning activities, which can lead to low performance, low participation, and, in extreme cases, school dropout. The aim of this study was to identify strategies to mitigate school demotivation through psycho-pedagogical support and targeted tasks in basic education. A documentary design methodology was applied, and the study is explanatory and bibliographic in nature. To mitigate student demotivation in basic education, a well-structured psychoeducational intervention is required, combining individualized assessment, teacher training, active teaching strategies, and the planning of targeted tasks. These actions together can strengthen students' intrinsic motivation, promote their participation, and improve academic performance. In conclusion, collaborative work among psychoeducational professionals, teachers, and the educational community is essential for designing and implementing effective interventions that address the motivational and educational needs of each student.
