Abstract
ABSTRACT This article aims to analyze the relationship between student labor and the results of the Saber 11 Test taken by high school seniors in Colombia and required for the admission process to higher education institutions. An estimated linear regression model with cross-sectional data during the 2014–2018 time period revealed that the hours that students devote to work negatively affects their learning in all areas evaluated, and that this impact is greater in males than in females. The article brings up the reflection on the high social costs that affect the social, economic and cultural development of a country like Colombia derived from the negative relationship between works and learning which, in the long term, has an impact on the accumulation of human capital. Critics of the implementation of standardized tests as part of educational policy stress that the insufficient pedagogical use of these and their weak links with educational research are obstacles that impede the expected advances in terms of improving student performance, teacher training and technical assistance to educational establishments.
