Abstract

The present study analyzes the influence that the self-esteem and attention of ESO and FPB students have on their academic performance. We worked with a sample of 336 students of 3rd and 4th of ESO and 1st and 2nd of FPB. The attention capacity of the students and self-esteem were analyzed. The academic performance was evaluated through the grades obtained after the course was completed. The results reveal that the cognitive abilities of the students seem to have a direct influence on their academic performance. That is to say, those students who have a better executive performance usually obtain better marks. In addition, self-esteem seems to play a moderating role between cognitive skills and academic performance, that is, interaction attention*self-esteem helps to better explain academic performance, but only in FPB students.

Resumen

El presente estudio analiza la influencia que tienen la autoestima y la atención del alumnado de ESO y FPB en su rendimiento académico. Se trabaja con una muestra de 336 estudiantes de 3º y 4º de la ESO y 1º y 2º de FPB. Se analizan la capacidad de atención del alumnado y su autoestima. El rendimiento académico se evalúa a través de las calificaciones obtenidas una vez finalizado el curso. Los resultados revelan que la atención del alumnado parece tener una influencia directa sobre su rendimiento académico. Es decir, aquellos que presentan un mejor desempeño ejecutivo suelen obtener mejores calificaciones. Además, la autoestima parece desempeñar un rol moderador entre las habilidades cognitivas y el rendimiento académico, es decir, la interacción atención*autoestima ayuda a explicar mejor el rendimiento académico, pero sólo en el alumnado de FPB.
