Academic performance (AP) is a proper pedagogical strategy to determine acquisition of learning outcomes. Monitoring is essential for decision-making regarding accompanying plans and improving educational quality. Saber-Pro is a standardized test applied by the Colombian Government to establish the ability in quantitative, English, critical reading, citizen comprehension, and written communication. The main objective is to determine which sociodemographic, pedagogical, and institutional factors will arise in AP. A canonical discriminant analysis was used to classify 100% of the student, and the risk of low AP was estimated. The model supports variables that explain potentiate risk factors associated with AP in engineering students according to Saber-Pro.
El Rendimiento Académico Universitario (RAU) es un indicador adecuado para determinar el grado de adquisición de los resultados de aprendizaje. Su seguimiento y gestión son fundamentales para la toma de decisiones sobre estrategias de acompañamiento y mejora de la calidad educativa. Saber-Pro es una prueba estandarizada aplicada por el Gobierno colombiano para establecer el RAU de los estudiantes universitarios en razonamiento cuantitativo, inglés, lectura crítica, comprensión ciudadana y comunicación escrita. Se pretende determinar los factores sociodemográficos, pedagógicos e institucionales relacionados con el bajo RAU. Se utilizó un análisis discriminante canónico que clasificó al 100% de los estudiantes con bajo RAU. La regresión logística permitió establecer las variables que explican los factores de riesgo potenciales del bajo RAU en estudiantes de ingeniería. Los resultados permiten a los gestores universitarios conocer las variables a mejorar para mejorar las competencias evaluadas en Saber-Pro.
