Resumen: Students dropout and failure are current problems in higher education, as students entering university may face academic risk. The objective of this work is to establish the predictive relationship between cognitive strategies and academic risk for students of Universidad Técnica del Norte of Ibarra, Ecuador. The research work was conducted with a quantitative approach, cross-sectional design and predictive scope through a pathway model. Based on a sample of 450 randomly selected first and second semester students, it was shown that students who did not properly manage their cognitive strategies were more likely to fall into academic risk. On the other hand, students who could develop metacognitive skills and manage to adjust themselves to the academic challenges were able to adapt themselves successfully to higher education demands.

Palabras clave: academic risk, academic risk factors, cognitive skills, metacognitive skills, cognitive strategies, cognitive processes, university students.
