Abstract
El objetivo de esta investigación es determinar si se puede predecir el rendimiento de los estudiantes de primer semestre de la Universidad Privada de Santa Cruz de la Sierra a partir de su rendimiento escolar. Se tomó como muestra 1.935 estudiantes de los primeros semestres de tres gestiones, 935 varones y 1.000 mujeres. Para establecer una relación entre el rendimiento escolar y el rendimiento universitario, se analizaron datos académicos que incluían la nota de matemáticas y el promedio de notas del último año de colegio, el índice de aprovechamiento académico en la Universidad, tipo de colegio, género, periodo de ingreso y facultad. Se encontró una correlación moderada entre las notas en la universidad y el colegio. No se encontraron diferencias por género, ni por tipo de colegio. También se vio que la relación entre las notas en la universidad y el colegio es mayor en las facultades que involucran más materias numéricas (como ingeniería y administración). Sin embargo, la predictibilidad del rendimiento escolar es baja cuando se la toma como única variable de predicción.
This study aimed to determine if school performance could help predict first-semester student achievement at the Private University of Santa Cruz de la Sierra. First semester students enrolled during three consecutive years were studied, 935 male students and 1.000 female. Academic data of the students, such as their senior year average grade and their math grade, the index of academic achievement at the University, the type of school they studied in, their gender, period of admission and the faculty they enrolled to, were studied to establish the relationship between school and university performance. As a result, we found a moderate correlation of school and university grades, there were no differences found, by gender or by type of school. However, the relationship between university and school grades is greater in the faculties that involve more numerical subjects (such as engineering and administration). However, the predictability of school performance is low when it is the only predicting variable
