| description | The research objective was to assess the relation between academic performance in mathematics and school success in higher education students. The research adopted a quantitative, descriptive-comparative and microsociological approach. Data came from primary sources. Data collection was transectional and the sample consisted of 1500 students. The Wagnild and Young’s resilience scale was used. The results show that there is a strong relation among the exigency level, the application of mathematics, abstraction, and academic performance. Students develop emotional resilience skills that allow them to improve their quality of life. In conclusion, resilience is significantly related to all personality strengths, as well as to positive change acceptance and personal competence.It was identified that, while resilience helps students become more tolerant and better understand what is happening in their environment, it is precisely in these challenges where the strengths brought by high educational performance are manifested. Successful students display formal thinking skills, creative thinking, application of mathematics, and resilience, all of which influence their quality of life. |

El objetivo de investigación fue evaluar la relación entre el rendimiento académico en matemáticas y el éxito escolar en estudiantes de educación superior. La investigación siguió un enfoque cuantitativo, descriptivo-comparativo y microsociológico. Los datos provinieron de fuentes primarias. La recolección de datos fue transeccional y la muestra fue de 1500 estudiantes. Se utilizó la escala de resiliencia de Wagnild y Young. Los resultados muestran que hay una relación importante entre el nivel de exigencia, la aplicación de las matemáticas, la abstracción y el rendimiento académico. Los estudiantes desarrollan habilidades emocionales de resiliencia que les permiten mejorar su calidad de vida. En conclusión, la resiliencia se relaciona significativamente con todas las fortalezas del carácter, así como con la aceptación positiva del cambio y con la competencia personal. Se identificó que, si bien la resiliencia ayuda a los estudiantes a ser más tolerantes y a comprender mejor lo que sucede en el entorno, es precisamente en esos desafíos donde se manifiestan las fortalezas que les brindan un alto desempeño educativo. Los estudiantes exitosos demuestran habilidades de pensamiento formal, pensamiento creativo, aplicación de la matemática y resiliencia, las cuales inciden en su calidad de vida. O objetivo da pesquisa foi avaliar a relação entre o desempenho acadêmico em atemáticas e o bom sucesso escolar em estudantes do ensino superior. A pesquisa seguiu uma abordagem quantitativa, descritiva-comparativa e micro-sociológica. Os dados são provenientes de fontes primárias. A colheita de dados foi transversal e a amostra foi de 1500 estudantes. Utilizou-se a escala de resiliência de Wagnild e Young. Os resultados mostram que há uma relação importante entre o nível de exigência, a aplicação das matemáticas, a abstração e o desempenho acadêmico. Os estudantes desenvolvem habilidades emocionais de resiliência que lhes permitem melhorar sua qualidade de vida. Em conclusão, a resiliência está relacionada significativamente com todas as fortalezas de caráter, assim como com a aceitação positiva da mudança e com a competência pessoal. Identificou-se que, embora a resiliência ajude aos estudantes ser mais tolerantes e a compreender melhor o que acontece no entorno, é precisamente naqueles desafios onde se manifestam as fortalezas que lhes dão um alto desempenho educacional. Os estudantes bem-sucedidos demonstram habilidades de pensamento formal, pensamento criativo, aplicação da matemática e resiliência, que incidem em sua qualidade de vida.
