Aprendizaje Cooperativo

Este trabajo analiza la aplicación de técnicas de aprendizaje cooperativo en asignaturas de contabilidad para investigar si la disposición de los estudiantes a trabajar en grupo, a partir de sus percepciones sobre esta técnica de aprendizaje derivadas de experiencias previas de trabajo en grupo, están relacionadas con su rendimiento académico. Los resultados revelan que las percepciones de los estudiantes respecto a la mejora de sus habilidades por haber trabajado en grupo se relacionan positiva y significativamente con su rendimiento académico; mientras que las percepciones de los estudiantes respecto a haber aprendido de otros se relacionan negativa y significativamente con su rendimiento académico. Por lo tanto, este estudio amplía la literatura existente sobre el aprendizaje cooperativo y el rendimiento académico de los estudiantes, al considerar las actitudes de los estudiantes hacia el trabajo en grupo resultantes de sus experiencias previas. This paper analyses the implementation of cooperative learning techniques in accounting subjects to investigate whether students’ willingness to work in groups, based on their perceptions regarding this learning technique arising from previous group working experiences, are related to their academic performance. The findings reveal that students’ perceptions regarding their improved skills due to having worked in groups are positively and significantly related to their academic performance; meanwhile students’ perceptions of having learnt from others are negatively and significantly related to their academic performance. Therefore, this study extends the existing literature on cooperative learning and students’ academic performance by considering students’ attitudes toward working in groups resulting from their prior experiences.

Background. There is growing interest in the association between physical activity (PA) and academic performance (AP) in children, especially in the developing world. However, no in-depth study of such kind has yet been undertaken in Nepal. Therefore, this study was carried out to determine if there is correlation between PA and AP in secondary schoolchildren in Nepal. Methods. A crosssectional study was carried in four schools of Nepal. Two schools (one private and one public) were randomly selected from two different districts. Physical activity and academic performance levels of students were obtained via questionnaires and Pearson’s correlation was done to determine any association. Results. Our study showed a significant correlation between physical activity and academic performance in the study population. The correlation was significant for male students, students from rural and urban areas and from public schools. However, there was no significant correlation in the female population and students of private schools. We also observed a significant difference in the physical activity performed by male versus female students (male > female), along with a significant difference in their academic performance (male > female). Further analysis of correlation on the basis of gender showed that physical activity of male students was significantly correlated with the academic performance irrespective of the location and type of school. However there was no such correlation in the female students. Conclusion. Our study found that male students who were physically active showed positive correlation between physical activity and academic performance while no such correlation was found in the female students.
