Abstract | Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) have a significant impact on individuals' cognitive, emotional, and social development, with consequences extending into adulthood and affecting academic performance in higher education. This study examines the relationship between ACEs and academic performance of engineering students at the Technological Institute of San Juan del Río, Mexico. Using a mixed-methods approach, a questionnaire (n=313) and a focus group (n=9) were conducted to assess the prevalence of ACEs, their impact on emotional well-being, and academic performance. Results indicate a high prevalence of ACEs among students, with 67.8% reporting at least one adverse experience. A significant negative correlation was found between the number of ACEs and academic average (r = -0.28, p < 0.001). Qualitative analysis revealed recurrent themes of difficulties in emotional regulation, low self-esteem, and problems in interpersonal relationships. This study underscores the need to implement specific psychological and academic support programs for students with histories of childhood adversity in higher education institutions. |
