Determinantes del rendimiento académico en Neiva: una aproximación a través de un modelo multinivel

Abstract

This paper analyzes the determinants of the academic performance of secondary education for the areas of language and mathematics in Neiva, Colombia, during the period 2008-2011. Ethnographic research methods were developed, and a multilevel model was also estimated with which it is sought to determine the relative weight of the school and the individual characteristics in the academic performance. It was found that the college effect has more weight on the academic performance than the student effect.
