Abstract
Learning strategies enable students to activate and sustain cognitive and behavioral processes aimed at achieving academic objectives. This study aimed to describe the use of these tools among university students. Employing a quantitative, descriptive, non-experimental, and cross-sectional design, the research included 103 participants who completed a 45-item questionnaire validated by experts, achieving a 0.974 reliability coefficient. The findings revealed a high prevalence of their usage among students, ranging from 65% to 82.5%. The most frequently employed techniques were related to coding processes. Furthermore, the results highlighted that methods enhancing information retention and memory consolidation were the most prominently utilized by university students.
