dc.description.none.fl_txt_mv The structure of mental activity and the consequent development of its components functionally affect the quality of the students’ performance. The aim of this research was to know the difference between some structural details of the psychological levels of the functionality of the students with and without learning difficulties. It is a predominantly quantitative and experimental study with independent variables such as age, school year, school retentions, cognitive aptitude and motivation to learn, and with dependent variables such as performance or school success. The sample of this research consisted of 550 students: 275 with and 275 without learning difficulties. The methodological instruments used were psychological interviews, sociodemographic questionnaires, record of the students' performance in the three periods of the last two school years and evaluation by teachers and parents of the students' abilities to learn and motivation to study. The results show that the components of the learning activity - cognitive aptitude, motivational commitment and educational success - present important differences within the framework of intercorrelations between components in the students with learning difficulties in comparison to the students without learning difficulties. In the first case, the consistency of the links between the various studied components is lower. The discussion of the data shows and concludes that the less strong connection between the components of academic performance, aptitude for learning and motivation to study, leads to a greater dispersion of the levels of psychic functioning of students with learning difficulties.
La estructura de la actividad mental y el consiguiente desarrollo de sus componentes funcionalmente afectan la calidad del desempeño de los estudiantes. Esta investigación tuvo como objetivo conocer la diferencia entre algunos detalles estruturales de los niveles psicológicos de la funcionalidad de los alumnos con y sin dificultades de aprendizaje. Investigación de predominancia cuantitativa y de tipología experimental, teniendo por variables independientes la edad, el año escolar, las retenciones escolares, la aptitud cognitiva y la motivación para aprender y por variables dependientes el rendimiento o éxito escolar. La muestra de esta investigación consistió en un contingente de 550 estudiantes: 275 con y 275 sin dificultades de aprendizaje. Los instrumentos metodológicos usados fueron la entrevista psicológica, cuestionários sociodemográficos, de registro del desempeño de los estudiantes en los tres períodos de los dos últimos años escolares y de evaluación de los maestros y de los padres sobre las habilidades de los alumnos para aprender y la motivación para estudiar. Los resultados muestran que los componentes de la actividad de aprendizaje – aptitud cognitiva, compromiso motivacional y éxito educativo – presentan diferencias importantes en el cuadro de intercorrelaciones entre componentes en los alumnos con dificultades de aprendizaje, siendo menor en estos la consistencia de los vínculos entre los diversos componentes estudiados comparado al cuadro presentado en los alumnos sin dificultades de aprendizage. La discusión demuestra y concluye que la conexión menos fuerte entre los componentes, el rendimiento académico y la aptitud para el aprendizaje y la motivación para estudiar, conduce a la mayor dispersión de los níveles de funcionamiento psíquico de los alumnos con dificultades de aprendizaje.
