    Academic performance of micro-entrepreneurs in business training programs: evidence from the application of an i4.0 educational system during the COVID-19 pandemic
    (Belgrade University, 2021-01-01)
    There is limited information on the academic performance obtained by teaching through an i4.0 educational system. Therefore, this article aims to close the gap by presenting the existing literature and the quantitative results obtained from the evaluations and surveys made to micro-entrepreneurs with little knowledge of digital technologies, and in many cases with different levels of education, who have been trained during the COVID-19 pandemic, between August and December 2020. The business training program used an i4.0 educational system based on IoT, the cloud, social networks and Web services. The results showed that the participants achieved a satisfactory academic performance and met the objectives of the training program in business-related topics. Likewise, the results established that the academic performance of the student in a business training program through an i4.0 system is not directly related to the student's previous educational level.

    Análisis predictivo del desempeño académico en niños peruanos: el rol del control intencional y el agrado hacia la escuela
    (Universidad de Almeria, 2022-09-01)
    Introduction. In Peru, there are few studies that include individual differences between stu-dents to explain their academic performance at the beginning of formal schooling. For that reason, the aim of the present study was to predict the perceived academic performance of a group of students based on the following variables: effortful control (EC) and school liking (SL). Method. A sample of 423 students, between 5 and 8 years old (M = 6.29, SD = 0.89), was gathered from public schools in socioeconomically disadvantaged areas in Lima. A total of 45 teachers gave information about their perceptions regarding the study variables in their re-spective students. Results. The hierarchical linear regression analysis results show that both effortful control and school liking are positive and significant predictors of perceived academic performance, even after controlling for students’ cognitive skills and their mothers’ educational level. Discussion and Conclusion. Possible explanations for these findings and their relevance in the Peruvian context are discussed

    The relationship between perceived learning, academic performance and academic engagement in virtual education for university students
    (Asian Online Journal Publishing Group, 2024-01-01)
    This study aimed to determine whether the three dimensions of academic engagement (cognitive, emotional and behavioral) were positively associated with perceived learning and academic performance. The participants were 301 university students from Lima. Structural equation models were used to test the proposed theoretical relationship between the variables. The results indicated that the model showed satisfactory fit indices (CFI = 0.956, TLI = 0.949, RMSEA = 0.043, SRMR = 0.062). Perceived learning was found to be predicted by cognitive engagement (β = 0.447, p < 0.01) and emotional engagement (β = 0.230, p < 0.05). However, there was no statistically significant relationship between behavioral engagement and perceived learning (β = 0.035, p = 0.840). On the other hand, academic performance was predicted by behavioral engagement (β = 0.393, p < 0.05) but not by cognitive (β = -0.164, p = 0.301) or emotional (β = 0.001, p = 0.991) engagement. The study highlights the importance of fostering academic engagement in university students to enhance both their academic performance and perceived learning.

    (Babeș-Bolyai University, 2023-03-20)
    Purpose Writing a thesis is a difficult endeavor for undergraduate students, especially in management careers, due to the highly practical approach of the discipline. Students often find difficult to understand and apply research methods in concrete research projects, so a proper set of teaching-learning strategies is critical. This study aimed to examine the effect of these strategies on the academic performance of students in two research seminars in an undergraduate management program in Peru. Design/methodology/approach The research adopted a mixed approach. The quantitative component included a survey of 249 students in both seminars, while the qualitative one involved only some of the students using three focus groups. The corresponding data analysis included stepwise linear regression models and content analysis. Findings The study found that a clear course structure, adequate research methods literature, good advisor–student communication and goal planning and achievement were the key determinants of the students' final grades. Originality/value This research fills a gap in previous studies on the subject by including a broader set of strategies and by statistically estimating the strategies' effects on academic performance.

    Use of technological resources in the era of artificial intelligence and its effect on academic performance
    (Frontiers Media, 2026-07-08)
    The advancement of digital technologies and generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) has transformed learning environments in higher education; while tools such as ChatGPT offer personalized experiences and immediate feedback, their relationship with academic performance remains insufficiently understood in university contexts. This study analyzed the use of technological resources in the AI era, considering frequency of use, perceived usefulness, familiarity, and type of use, as well as their contribution to university students' academic performance and identifying technological and contextual factors associated with it. A data-mining approach was employed, applying 10 supervised regression algorithms using 10-fold cross-validation, complemented by interpretability analysis using SHAP values to identify relevant predictors. Regularized regression models (Elastic Net; Lasso) showed the best relative predictive performance. The SHAP analysis revealed that the field of study (? 0.41) and study cycle (? 0.34) are the dominant predictors, while the use of AI for academic writing (? 0.10) emerged as the technological variable with the greatest positive contribution to academic GPA within the model. Academic performance was mainly associated with structural factors related to students' educational trajectories, while AI tools showed a complementary role. The predictive contribution of technology appears to depend more on pedagogical integration than on frequency of use alone. These findings suggest the need to integrate digital strategies into higher education, implementing them in a differentiated manner by discipline and academic level, and promoting the guided and purposeful use of AI and technological resources in learning processes.

    Influence of sleepiness, quantity, and quality of sleep on academic performance in adolescent students of a Colombian public institution
    (Medknow, 2026-06-01)
    BACKGROUND: This study aimed to examine the relationship between sleep-related variables and academic performance in Spanish Language and Mathematics among adolescents from a Colombian public school. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A descriptive, cross-sectional study was conducted, which included 185 students (12–18 years, both sexes) from a Colombian public school. Two questionnaires were applied to obtain the data: the Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS). Academic performance was measured using final and subject-specific grades in Spanish and Mathematics. Bivariate and multivariate linear regression analyses were performed to explore associations between sleep variables and academic outcomes, adjusting for age and sex. RESULTS: Bivariate analyses revealed significant negative associations between sleepiness and key academic performance indicators, including final average grade, Spanish language average grade, and annual average grade. By contrast, no significant associations were observed between overall sleep quality and academic performance. When controlling for confounding variables in multivariate regression analyses including sleepiness, age, and sex showed that the previously observed associations between sleepiness and academic performance were attenuated and no longer statistically significant. These findings suggest that the effect of sleepiness on academic outcomes may be influenced by age, indicating increased somnolence among older adolescents. CONCLUSION: Daytime sleepiness, rather than subjective sleep quality, appears to negatively influence academic performance in adolescents, particularly in language-related outcomes. Interventions to reduce sleepiness may enhance educational achievement. Longitudinal studies using objective sleep measures are recommended to clarify causal pathways linking sleep, cognition, and learning.

    Data Mining to Identify University Student Dropout Factors
    (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2025-11-01)
    University dropout poses academic, social, and economic challenges that call for effective prevention strategies. The objective was to identify determining factors of student dropout through educational data mining and machine learning models. A survey was administered to 527 undergraduate students, and the data were processed with classification algorithms (Adaboost, Gradient Boosting, Extra Trees, Random Forest, Decision Tree, and XGBoost), complemented with interpretation techniques such as SHAP and sensitivity analysis. The results revealed that, in addition to prior academic performance (GPA), psychological support emerged as the most influential predictor across all models, followed by institutional and socioeconomic variables, including academic program, age, and parental job stability. Integrating psychological, institutional, and family factors into predictive systems enhances model accuracy and provides practical evidence to inform educational policies, strengthen student support programs, and design early interventions to promote retention in higher education.
