Impacto de la asignatura metodología de la investigación y técnicas de estudio en el rendimiento académico de los estudiantes de primer ciclo de la carrera de Medicina, de la UTPL, en el periodo abril-agosto 2024

Abstract

Abstract: The research conducted with first-year medical students at UTPL aims to determine how study habits and techniques influence academic performance in Anatomy I for newly admitted students. Study habits and techniques are important and influential in achieving adequate academic performance, as they allow students to obtain good grades. Conversely, they negatively impact emotional well-being. This becomes a relevant issue for students who require a high level of organization to meet the demands of their studies. The research methodology employed was a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional, observational, and correlational design. The instrument used was the Study Habits and Techniques Questionnaire (CHTE), and the data was collected from the students' academic performance in the Anatomy I course. The main findings were that there is a correlation between the study habits and techniques used by the students and their academic performance. Good habits lead to the establishment of routines that foster a positive attitude towards studying. Meanwhile, techniques for completing assignments and exams generate positive motivation for achieving good academic results. In conclusion, it is crucial that medical students have effective study habits and techniques to achieve good academic performance.
