Abstract
The aim of this article is to show the results of an exploration of the learning strategies that first-year university students use when they study Chemistry on their own. 171 students from different careers from the Engineering Faculty of the Universidad Nacional del Comahue participated, who answered about what they do when they study Chemistry. On the other hand, their teachers were asked to assess the strategies reported by the students. The responses of students and teachers were categorized and related. The results show that the strategies most used by students are rereading and summarizing. While a high percentage of teachers valued these strategies as very important, there is discussion about the effectiveness of these strategies and the need to consider them in the teaching of Chemistry.
