MORENO, José E et al. Study skills in medical school applicants. FEM (Ed. impresa) [online]. 2020, vol.23, n.6, pp.335-340.  Epub 18-Jan-2021. ISSN 2014-9840.  https://dx.doi.org/10.33588/fem.236.1095.

Introduction.

Academic performance is largely due to the student's personal organization (how to study, where to study, when to study, etc.), which enables a good quality of learning.

Aim.

To show the results obtained in the evaluation of study skills of medical school applicants at Universidad del Salvador.

Subjects and methods.

It is a quantitative, descriptive and cross-sectional study that included 263 applicants from 2019 and 2020 admission courses, who were administered a survey with three scales (attention and concentration difficulties; comprehension, analysis and integration of texts strategies; and problem-solving strategies), plus six questions about time organization and the place and study context.

Results.

A higher ability in problem-solving strategies than in comprehension, analysis and integration of texts strategies was observed. 12.2% of applicants have attention and concentration difficulties. 14.8% like listening to music or the radio while studying, and 3.8% always or usually study with the television on.

Conclusions.

These evaluations are useful for the teaching of ‘Learning methodology' subject in the admission course, as well as the other subjects. In addition, they allow students to critically analyze the study abilities they have developed throughout their previous training stages.
