Description
Summary:This paper presents the results of identifying the variables that directly affect the academic performance of engineering students from Universidad Católica de Colombia in the Differential Calculus course. The data used came from three sources: the academic results of the students enrolled in the Differential Calculus courses from the School of Engineering programs in 2013-1, 2013-3 and 2014-1; the results of the admission test taken by freshman students; and the information in the database of the System for Prevention and Analysis of Dropouts in Higher Education Institutions (SPADIES) (Ministerio de Educación Nacional, 2008). Based on the information obtained, a descriptive and inferential statistical analysis was conducted with the SPSS software. The variables affecting the academic mortality of the students were determined with the indexes obtained from the different statistical variables, and through the comparative and matching analysis.
