- PREDICTING ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE AND ATTRITION IN UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS Angela Corengia María Pita Belén Mesurado Angel Centeno Psicología Attrition Higher Education Academic Performance Educational Aptitudes The purpose of this study is to analyze whether educational aptitudes can predict academic performance and attrition. To measure educational aptitudes, the Differential Aptitude Test (DAT) was applied to a nonrandom sample of 1530 first- year undergraduate students of a private university in Argentina. For the analysis, multiple and logistic regression models were used. The results showed that DAT scores can predict academic performance, but there is a moderate to low relationship between these scores and dropout rates. To summarize, this study is a first step to predict students’ academic success, in order to save resources and prevent frustration. 2013 artículo científico 1729-4827 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=68627456009 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=686 Liberabit.
