Learning strategies and academic performance in students of a private denominational university

Abstract

Learning strategies and academic performance is a topic to be reconsidered in Higher Education during the pandemic. The objective of the research is to determine the correlation between ACRA learning strategies and academic performance in students of the first three cycles of the Administration School of a private confessional university. The materials consisted of the questionnaire called the Adaptation, Coding, Recovery and Support (ACRA) scale and the notes of the study subjects. The general method was the hypothetical-deductive one and the statistical one as the specific method. The main results consisted of how the students of Communication II and National Reality achieved 100% at the low level such as social interactions and extrinsic and intrinsic motivation. In addition, all three groups scored low on acquisition strategies in their evaluations. The main conclusion was that both variables have a significant relationship, because according to Spearman's Rho 0.821, a high positive correlation is indicated in the university higher educational organization.
