Influence of COVID-19 confinement on students’ performance in higher education 2020-10-09 .txt text/plain 8517 451 60 This study analyzes the effects of COVID-19 confinement on the autonomous learning performance of students in higher education. We present a study that involves more than 450 students enrolled in 3 subjects from different degrees from the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid (Spain) during three academic years, including data obtained in the 2019/2020 academic year, when the restrictions due to the COVID-19 pandemic have been in force. In the case of "Design of Water Treatment Facilities", a longitudinal study has been performed in academic year 2017/2018 to analyse the effect of rewards in the students' learning strategies, especially those related to time management. The second stage corresponds to the period of COVID-19 confinement (after March 11), where some measurable activities were performed in a different format and statistical differences can be found by comparing experimental and control groups. ./cache/cord-316047-d9cpe9yl.txt ./txt/cord-316047-d9cpe9yl.txt
