In this work, we analyzed the historical records of the Mathematics pedagogical space taught at the Centro Universitario Regional de San Pedro Sula de la Universidad Pedagógica Nacional Francisco Morazán (UPNFM CURSPS), Honduras. The objective is to identify significant variations and differences in the academic performance of students, comparing the academic periods before, during and after the COVID-19 pandemic. This study had a quantitative approach, using descriptive and inferential statistics to analyze the data. The methodology used consisted of the analysis of the grade tables from the I PAC 2020 to the I PAC 2024, with an exploratory and descriptive scope. Among the relevant results, an increase in the number of students passed during the academic periods during the pandemic was observed, as well as an improvement in the grades obtained. Furthermore, a statistically significant difference is evident in the academic performance of students who took Mathematics during the pandemic compared to students who took the pedagogical course during the academic periods prior to the pandemic.
