Abstract
The goal is to analyze the determinant factors of each of the academic performance dimensions. The theoretical foundation is the 3P model (presage, process, and product). The empirical analysis is developed with students of Business administration in their last academic year. The results show that the conceptual performance is difference from the procedural performance and that such difference is statistically significant. The presage variables are more relevant that the process variables explaining either the conceptual performance or the procedural performance. Furthermore, the cognitive style, the gender and class attendance are explanatory factors of the academic performance in all the three dimensions. Male students with higher analytic capabilities and high attendance are the ones with higher performance. Student motivation and academic self-concept are variables that contribute to explain procedural and global performance.
