Résumé

Background/Objective: Students participation in extracurricular activities has been positively associated with good academic performance, social-emotional and behavioral performance. The objective of this study is to determine the level of academic performance of a group of Primary Education (PE) students, observing the relationships between the performance and their participation in extracurricular activities, considering their typology. Method: To this end, an ad hoc questionnaire was designed, and the 5th- and 6th- grade students enrolled in South Galicia rural schools were surveyed. Results: It was found that most students attended extracurricular activities. The time they spent was between one and nine hours a week, these activities being mainly of an academic and sports nature and usually in combination. Students who performed mixed extracurricular activities (sports and academic or sports and artistic, or all of them) or only sports, obtained better school results than those who carried out academic activities only. Conclusion: It is concluded that extracurricular activities have a positive impact on academic performance, even though there is no agreement on the type, number, and hours of the most appropriate activities.
