Abstract
This article presents an initial study carried out in order to review the student’s response to a learning design based on the Self-directed Based Learning (SDBL), a methodology that was designed in 2013 with the purpose of facilitating the student’s learning process. The design had the purpose of generating a work dynamic that guides the student in their learning process thus increasing the student’s commitment to learning and to guaranteeing both their progress and their academic success. The aim of this research is to identify what kind of activities lead to the learning outcomes assimilation in order to select the ones that are related to the student’s academic success, thus making it possible to identify the relationship between student activity and academic success in order to validate the design and construction of the methodology.
