| 實物特徵: | Academic performance in higher education, specifically the ability to predict it, is an issue of enormous profusion in terms of both theory and practice. There is an agreement among researchers on how difficult it is to establish predictors, three have a moderate but inconclusive correlation degree: past performance, motivation and judgment. The hypothesis of this paper is that the productive lexical knowledge of a subject, which can be evaluated in terms of synonymy, is a factor that will determine academic performance. For this purpose, a quantitative comparison of the performance obtained by a group of students of Teaching of Language and Literature Teacher from the Language Professors of the IFDC, whom previously had been administered a test of synonyms, was performed. The results suggest that productive lexical knowledge, assessed in terms of synonymy, is a factor that predicts academic performance. |
