GUZMAN-TORRES, Cristian; BARBA-AYALA, Jessy; NARVAEZ, Gabriela y PROANO, Verónica. Academic risk factors in university students. Universidad y Sociedad [online]. 2022, vol.14, n.5, pp. 236-247. Epub 30-Oct-2022. ISSN 2218-3620.
The transition to higher education is a complex process, in the first levels of higher education there are high dropout rates, students entering college are not always properly oriented to the goals, this is one of the multiple factors that are implicit in a student being considered at risk. The objective of the research is to determine to what extent goal orientation is a predictor of academic risk in university students, for this purpose the quantitative approach was applied, its scope is predictive through the pathway model, the study has a sample of 451 students who met the criterion of being of the first two levels of university studies. As a conclusion it was determined that goals are factors that predict academic risk, those students who are motivated and set medium and long term goals are very likely to finish their university career, overcome obstacles to achieve it and improve their self-regulatory capacity to avoid falling into academic risk.
