This paper discusses the results of research on factors affecting academic performance and attrition in a sample of 1,500 freshman students majoring in architecture, design and urbanism at the Universidad de Buenos Aires, Argentina [University of Buenos Aires, Argentina] who were enrolled in a drafting course. The hypotheses we tested concern the mediating role of learning styles on the relationship between spatial competence and academic performance, learning-style differences by gender and cohort, and the relationship between attrition, spatial competence level and learning style. Statistical analysis of the data was performed and spatial competence enhanced by motivational profile was found to predict final achievement. Educational implications are identified, highlighting the need to promote in students those academic behaviors that characterize a self-regulated learning style and encourage the use of specific intellectual abilities. El artículo presenta los resultados de la investigación realizada acerca de los factores que inciden en el rendimiento académico y la deserción con una muestra de 1500 alumnos del primer año de las carreras de Arquitectura, Diseño y Urbanismo de la Universidad de Buenos Aires, Argentina, que cursaron la materia de Dibujo. Se sometieron a prueba las hipótesis acerca del rol mediador del estilo de aprendizaje en la relación entre competencia espacial y rendimiento académico; las diferencias por sexos y por cohortes en los estilos de aprendizaje y la relación entre la deserción, los niveles de competencia espacial y los estilos de aprendizaje. Se hizo un análisis estadístico de los datos y se concluyó que la competencia espacial potenciada por el perfil motivacional son factores predictores del rendimiento final. Las consecuencias pedagógicas obtenidas señalan la necesidad de promover en los alumnos conductas académicas que definan el estilo de aprendizaje autorregulado y favorezcan el aprovechamiento de las capacidades intelectuales específicas. 2013-04-30 2021-06-03T03:02:36Z 2021-06-03T03:02:36Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://redie.uabc.mx/index.php/redie/article/view/328 https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12930/6070 spa https://redie.uabc.mx/index.php/redie/article/view/328/510 https://redie.uabc.mx/index.php/redie/article/view/328/508 Derechos de autor 2019 Revista Electrónica de Investigación Educativa text/html application/pdf REDIE es una publicación del Instituto de Investigación y Desarrollo Educativo (IIDE).
