“…The main findings reveal that, in general terms, students with better academic performance use cognitive and metacognitive strategies at high levels, which exceed the levels of use made by groups of students whose academic performance is less outstanding. These results are consistent with the findings of previous studies and are in line with expectations, insofar as it has been repeatedly proven that the use of strategies is associated with better academic achievement (Lavado-Rojas et al, 2018;Leiva, 2021;Lugo et al, 2016;Norzagaray-Benítez et al, 2021;Reyes et al, 2021;Trias et al, 2021;Vásquez-Córdova, 2021).. On the other hand, the results obtained with respect to the strategies for regulating contextual resources, which seem to have been more affected by the context of the health emergency, are somewhat striking. In particular, the fact of studying in groups and the possibility of fluid communication with the teacher to request help were strategies that, judging by the findings of this study, were difficult for students to implement in the virtual environment.…”
