Abstract

The paper proposes a teaching model for university education based on the previous study of the relationship between study habits and academic performance of students; as the maelstrom with which knowledge is generated and transmitted by technology, people should make every day become more autonomous in their process of learning to learn; However, despite the great need serious deficiencies exist to achieve this goal, both the student and the teacher. To this end, a questionnaire study habits to 152 students of the first two academic cycles of the career of Industrial Engineering Universidad César Vallejo and results were correlated with academic performance; finding that the dimensions of the study habits that are significantly correlated moderately but with academic achievement are reading (0.494) and study methods (0.631); which it was taken into account to design the didactic model which was called MODIHAWC, which allow students a meaningful and lasting learning, as it takes into account the academic context, highlighting the active participation of the student through fieldwork (WC), inquiry content and generating good study habits (HA) that will improve their academic performance.
