The model identifies seven dimensions on family functioning: problem solving, rolefunctioning, communication, affective responsiveness, affective involvement, behavioral control and generalfunctioning. The Family Assessment Device (FAD) scale based on the McMaster Model of Family Functioning(MMFF) was used for assesing family functioning dimensions.

Therefore, the family functioning level has asignificant relationship with the academic performance in the first and second term students of the School ofEducation and Human Sciences, with the exception of the role functioning dimension in which a significantcorrelationship was not found.
