Socioeconomic conductors about critical reading according to saber pro tests in Colombia 2015

Abstract

The aim of this study is to determine relationships between academic performance on the 2015 Saber Pro tests (Colombia) in the Business Administration program and the Ethno-education program. For this study, 16 factors were selected from the Colombian Institute of Evaluation of Educational Quality database and a multivariate ANOVA was employed for statistical analysis. The results from the Ethno-education program show that factors such as social sector of the higher educational institution, the father's education, the mother's education and job type, and the study mode have an impact on academic performance. In Business Administration and Ethno-education, there are four scores and three scores (respectively) that contribute to the model. In conclusion, in the econometric model there are differences on academic performance between critical reading and the test scores of the 2015 Saber Pro tests in the subject areas of written communication, English, quantitative reasoning, and citizen competence.
