The impact of group cohesion on academic performance is crucial to understanding how social dynamics within student groups can influence their academic success, which could help in the future to more effective educational interventions. Research Question: What impact does group cohesion have on the academic performance of students at the university technician level? Objective: To investigate the impact that group cohesion has on students' academic performance. Methodology: A quantitative correlational scope quasi-experimental design was used, conveniently including third quarter students. Measurements were taken before and after the intervention to evaluate changes in group cohesion and students' academic performance, applying the Group Environment Questionnaire test. The instrument used to obtain information about students' academic performance was the institutional platform LIZARD (matrix) at the Technological University of Queretaro. Results: In the intervention group, a positive low to moderate correlation was found between group cohesion and academic performance, although not statistically significant, while in the control group a negative low correlation was observed, also not significant. Conclusions: A significant improvement in academic performance was shown for the intervention group after the intervention, although with greater variability among students, while the control group experienced a significant decrease in performance; the correlations between group cohesion and academic performance in both groups were not statistically significant.
