This study on the relationship between selective attention and academic performance in three subjects of the Bachelor of Science (Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry), focused on 10th and 11th grade students from a secondary school in Panama City, where it was achieved a sample of 30 students. It was carried out between the months of May and November 2021, using the D2 Attentional Test and the average of the grades of the first and second quarter of the year 2021 of the students. The data was analyzed with Spearman's Rho Correlation Coefficient, since it corresponds to a non-parametric sample.
The results showed significant correlations between selective attention and academic performance. Strong positive relationships were found between the effectiveness of attention and academic performance in Mathematics (0.863), Physics (0.819) and Chemistry (0.850). The greater the attention, the greater the academic performance in the subjects. The same happened with the ability to concentrate in the three subjects: Mathematics (0.887), Physics (0.862) and Chemistry (0.873), that is, the higher the concentration, the higher the performance of the students in the aforementioned subjects.
