| Descripción: | The teaching of chemistry at secondary level have shown deficiency in the quality of the students' academic training in this subject, which leads to a low performance in the initial course of Chemistry I, included in every science-based university career in Costa Rica. At the Universidad Estatal a Distancia (UNED), six careers include in their curriculum the subject. The 2010-2017 period shows a performance of 20.2% approval, 62.2% failure and 17.6% withdrawal in this subject. During the III quarter academic period 2017, a survey developed in Google Sites® was applied through the Moodle platform of the UNED, in order to obtain socio-demographic, academic and performance data in the subject of chemistry. The qualitative and quantitative data was simultaneously analyzed taking as a reference the mixed method of concurrent triangulation design. The analysis of the attitudinal factor, the teaching-learning at secondary level factor and the teaching-learning at university level factor, indicate an important relationship between the deficient academic bases in level chemistry and the high percentages of failure at university level chemistry. |
