Abstract

In this article we investigate the correlation between performance in subjects and prerequisites for students of Industrial Civil Engineering of the Universidad Técnica Federico Santa María. We complete our analysis through the formulation of a regression model. We begin at a general level, and then expand to non-hierarchical cluster analysis. The objective is to validate prerequisites as determinants of the performance of the subjects that request it. In addition, we examine antecedents of the relations between subjects for the curricular update processes. The results show that correlation occurs mostly in subjects whose prerequisite is strongly linked to the same disciplinary area, and to the level of conditioning that mastery of the prerequisite implies in the performance of the evaluation activities of the next subject
