Degree of knowledge of students entering the bachelor's degree and its association with school performance and the terminal efficiency. Multivariate model

Abstract

In our environment are scarce academic follow-up studies, linking the degree of knowled­ge of students at the beginning of the bachelor's degree through the results obtained in a diagnostic exam, with school performance along the bachelor and the terminal efficiency. A predictive model was developed at UNAM based on the results obtained from the diag­nostic exam for entering the bachelor´s degree and the monitoring of the students of the generation of 2010 school performance. The results reveal that the higher score in the diag­nostic exam of knowledge for entering the bachelor´s degree, the better the school perfor­mance and terminal efficiency in the university.
