Abstract

In the context of the changes in educational processes generated by the pandemic in higher education, that evolves to a distance model. It becomes relevant to review what elements may be associated with the academic performance of students in the context of a training with a more autonomous learning process. The organization of academic work is modified and made more flexible and it is of interest to check if the schedule in which the activities of the day are carried out, or chronotype and academic performance are associated, considering the COVID-19
pandemic. For this the chronotype questionnaire ((Horne-Ostberg) to nursing students, the chronotype was associated with academic perfomance (GPA). The results show there is no statistically significant difference between chronotype and GPA, therefore, they would be other factors associated with academic performance such as reorganization of routines, flexibility of virtual training, adaptation to virtual environments.
