Abstract

Este trabajo presenta los resultados de una encuesta realizada por el Departamento de Economía de la Universidad Nacional de La Plata en la que participaron voluntariamente 4676 alumnos regulares de la Facultad. Se estiman los determinantes del rendimiento estudiantil definido como cantidad de materias aprobadas por año, nota promedio y una combinación de esas dos medidas. El rendimiento depende de la carrera que cursan (mayor para economía), el sexo (mayor para las mujeres), la edad (mayor para los más jóvenes), la educación de los padres, el tipo de escuela secundaria y las regulaciones de la facultad sobre la condición de alumno regular. El rendimiento es menor para los estudiantes que trabajan y disminuye con el número de horas trabajadas. / This research reports the results of a survey carried out by the Department of Economics of the National University of La Plata. Subjects were 4676 regular students of the school who participated on a voluntay basis. We have estimated the determinants of the students' performance. To this aim we have measured performance in three ways: the number of subjects passed per year, the average mark, and a combination of the two previous averages. We have found that performance depends on the programe of study (higher for economics), the sex (higher for women), the age (higher for younger), the parents' education, the type of secondary school, and the regulations of the school about the condition of regular student. The performance is lower for students who work and decreases as the number of working hours increases.
