Uso de estratégias de estudo em contexto universitário e sua relação com desempenho acadêmico

Abstract

University education currently plays an important role in young people's lives and for their academic performance to be improved, the use of study strategies is useful. This article aims to gather information about the learning techniques most used by university students. A bibliographical search was carried out on Brazilian and international materials published from January 2015 to December 2023, using the descriptors “university”, “learning”, “academic performance” and “strategies”. As a result of this search, 8 works were selected that relate to study strategies used by university students, using questionnaires, interviews or intervention as research methods. Through analysis, it can be inferred that students have a greater habit of using cognitive strategies and that metacognitive strategies contribute to a better assessment of learning. It is concluded that no conclusive results were reached on whether one of the strategies alone leads to better academic performance and the use of them together contributes to student performance.
