Purpose: In this work we present the advances of a research project whose main goal is the construction and empirical validation of a structural equation modeling to explain the students’ academic performance in Administration distance degree careers of the Universidad de la Defensa Nacional (Argentina).
Methodology/Approach: A structural model with six latent variables, five endogenous and one exogenous, was formulated as a result of bibliographic background integration.
Findings: a measurement model formulation was obtained which, integrated to the causal model proposed in the previous stage, allowed us to reach a complete structural equation model specification.
Research Limitation/implication: consider that the observed variables selected are the ones that best combine to identify the hypothesized constructs.
Originality/Value of paper: Learning in virtual environments is the main endogenous latent variable of the model, explained by previous knowledge, motivation, digital skills, self-regulation and interaction processes.https://revistas.cefet-rj.br/index.php/producaoedesenvolvimento/article/view/422publishedVersionFil: Moneta Pizarro, Adrián.
