Análisis del rendimiento académico en la educación básica media, mediante la aplicación de un modelo econométrico para las evaluaciones ser bachiller entre los años 2018 y 2023

Abstract

According to the American Psychological Association (2015), people of a low socioeconomic level tend to have more difficulties in solving problems and acquiring new skills. Given that socioeconomic status is a key factor in students' academic performance, this research aims to evaluate the relationship between socioeconomic status and the academic performance of Ecuadorian youth. To achieve this objective, an educational production function will be used in which a multilevel model will be estimated. The main source of information will be the results of the Ser Bachiller tests corresponding to the 2018-2019 school year. The results of the model reveal a positive and statistically significant relationship between socioeconomic level and academic performance. That is, students with a high socioeconomic level tend to have better academic performance.
