Item Inteligencia lógica y rendimiento académico en matemáticas: un estudio con estudiantes de Educación Básica y Secundaria de Chile(2011) Cerda Etchepare, Gamal; Ortega Ruíz, Rosario; Pérez Wilson, Carlos; Flores, Cesar; Melipillán Araneda, RobertoThis article presents and analyses the results of a Superior Logical Intelligence Test (TILS) to a sample (N = 4446) representative of the Chilean primary and secondary school population. Psychometric analysis shows that the TILS is a one-dimensional instrument with adequate internal consistency. The results of the application to Chilean students reveal significant differences in level of administrative support of the institution students attend (a factor related to socio-economic level). The distribution of the national logical intelligence scores was normal, and it was possible to establish the scales of the differential scores according to age and level of administrative support. The study revealed a positive and meaningful correlation between logical intelligence and overall academic performance, especially in the area mathematics. Likewise, the differences between the general population and a group of talented students (N = 493) were examined, and the latter group was shown to possess significantly higher levels of logical intelligence.Item Working memory, reading comprehension and academic performance(2017) Guzmán, Belén; Veliz, Mónica; Reyes Reyes, FernandoThis article presents the results of a predictive – transversal study where the variables working memory, reading comprehension and academic performance in 80 Chilean students of seventh grade, rst and the third year of high school were measured. In LECTUM, standardized reading comprehension test for Chile and TAL, an instrument that measures the working memory by reading amplitude. Academic performance was obtained by averaging the annual ratings of the subjects included in the curriculum of each course. The results show that working memory predicts both school reading performance and overall performance and, in the same way, reading comprehension turns out to be a good predictor of school performance.
