Relationship between language proficiency levels and biology learning in students entering college.
General Biology is a subject in the first year of the agronomy engineering course (National University of Rosario) and has a very high failure rate (around 60%). The purpose of this work was to analyze whether students' academic performance was related to their language proficiency levels. A ma...

The purpose of this work was to analyze whether students' academic performance was related to their language proficiency levels. A matrix of rows (students) by columns (variables considered: results of an evaluation of text comprehension and production levels and partial and final evaluations of General Biology) was constructed and processed by means of multiple correspondence analysis. The low average achieved in text comprehension and production evidenced the limited linguistic resources that a large number of students possess.

Biología General es una asignatura del primer año de la carrera de ingeniería agronómica (Universidad Nacional de Rosario) y presenta un porcentaje de fracasos muy altos (alrededor del 60%). El objeto de este trabajo fue analizar si el rendimiento académico de los estudiantes estaba relacionado con sus niveles de competencia lingüística. Se construyó una matriz de filas (estudiantes) por columnas (variables consideradas: resultados de una evaluación de niveles de comprensión y producción de texto y evaluaciones parciales y finales de Biología General) y se la procesó mediante análisis de correspondencias múltiples. El bajo promedio alcanzado en comprensión y producción de texto evidenció los limitados recursos lingüísticos que poseen una gran cantidad de alumnos. Los agrupamientos obtenidos mostraron una relación muy estrecha entre esos recursos lingüísticos y el rendimiento académico de los estudiantes.
