Abstract

El objetivo de este art’culo es explicar el rendimiento acadŽmico con la ayuda de una tŽcnica novedosa: el análisis cualitativo comparativo difuso. Para hacerlo posible, se consideran diferentes variables que afectan a la educaci—n superior, así como el rendimiento acadŽmico de los estudiantes universitarios. Los datos utilizados provienen de los diferentes grados impartidos en la Facultad de Ciencias Empresariales de la Universidad Pablo de Olavide, de Sevilla (España), desde el año 2009, aunque la tŽcnica utilizada puede ser fácilmente adaptada a otros colectivos y situaciones. || The objective of this paper is to explain academic performance with the aid of an innovative technique: Fuzzy-set Qualitative Comparative Analysis (fsQCA). To do so, different objective factors, which affect higher education, are analyzed and the academic performance of university students is also considered. Specifically, data of students on different degrees in the Faculty of Business Sciences of the Pablo de Olavide University of Seville since 2009 was used, but it is believed that the methodology described can be easily extrapolated.
