Abstract

Learning strategies are actions and cognitive processes that enable self-control and mastery of content by the learner. Therefore, strategies in higher education are a determining factor in achieving good academic performance. The present study aims to define the learning strategies in university students according to some factors, as well as to determine the existing relationships between the course and academic performance. A descriptive, cross- sectional and ex post facto study was carried out with a national sample of 2736 students. The IBM SPSS® 23.0 software is used for data analysis. As results, it was observed that scholarship students obtained a higher value in learning strategies, using the Motivation and Learning Strategies Scale—Short Form (MLSQ-SF). Likewise, in the face-to-face mode there is a better development in the value of the task and anxiety, while in the online mode a higher value has been obtained in the strategies of content development, meta-cognition and self-regulation of effort, being these last two are the same for blended learning. Finally, an inverse relationship was obtained between age and grade with learning strategies. Las estrategias de aprendizaje son acciones y procesos cognitivos que posibilitan el autocontrol y dominio de los contenidos por parte del aprendiz. Por lo tanto, las estrategias en la educación superior son un factor determinante para lograr un buen rendimiento académico. El presente estudio tiene como objetivo, definir las estrategias de aprendizaje en estudiantes universitarios en función de algunos factores, así como determinar las relaciones existentes entre el curso y el rendimiento académico. Se realizó un estudio descriptivo, transversal y ex post facto con una muestra nacional de 2736 estudiantes, utilizando la escala de Motivación y Estrategias de Aprendizaje- Short Form (MLSQ-SF) software IBM SPSS® 22.0 se utilizó para el análisis de datos. Como resultados se observó que los estudiantes becados obtuvieron un mayor valor en las estrategias de aprendizaje. Asimismo, en la modalidad presencial se produce un mejor desarrollo en el valor de la tarea y la ansiedad, mientras que en la modalidad online se ha obtenido un mayor valor en las estrategias de desarrollo de contenidos, meta cognición y autorregulación del esfuerzo, siendo estos dos últimos iguales para blended learning. Finalmente, se obtuvo una relación inversa entre la edad y el curso con las estrategias de aprendizaje.
