Abstract

espanolEl objetivo de este estudio fue la busqueda de la influencia de variables derivadas de los enfoques de aprendizaje y de las atribuciones causales en el rendimiento academico del alumnado de bachillerato. Se trata de conocer cuales son los factores atribucionales causales y de enfoques de aprendizaje con una capacidad predictiva importante sobre el rendimiento. Para ello se empleo una muestra de 1505 estudiantes de bachillerato con una media de edad de 17.8 anos en mujeres y de 17.6 en hombres. Los resultados senalan que, en las mujeres, son las variables internas de atribucion causal (capacidad y esfuerzo) y los enfoques de aprendizaje de orientacion al significado los factores con una mayor capacidad predictiva, positiva y significativa sobre el rendimiento academico. En hombres, destacan los enfoques de orientacion al significado en primer termino y despues las atribuciones causales internas. Ademas se aprecia, en ambos sexos, como los enfoques de orientacion superficial y las atribuciones incontrolables y el escaso esfuerzo predicen tambien el rendimiento academico del alumnado de bachillerato, aunque de manera negativa y significativa. En relacion con el genero no se han encontrado diferencias estadisticamente significativas EnglishThe first aim of this study was to determine the influence of variables derived from learning approaches and causal attributions in high school students’ academic performance. This implies knowing the causal attributional factors and learning approaches with important predictive capacity for performance. For this purpose, a sample of 1505 high school students with an average age of 17.8 years (females) and 17.6 (males) was used. The results indicate that, in females, the internal variables of causal attribution (capacity and effort) and meaning-oriented learning approaches are the factors with greater positive and significant predictivecapacity for academic performance. In males, meaning-orientated learning approaches are more notable, followed by internal causal attributions. In addition, in both sexes, it can be seenthat surface orientation approaches, uncontrollable attributions, and low effort also significantlypredict high school students’ academic performance, albeitnegatively. No statistically significant differences were as a function of gender.
