The study of the factors that infl uence, and in some cases determines, the academic results of our students is a fertile fi eld of research from the educative point of view. In this research we focus on the relation that exists, if any, between the type of approach to learning of the students and the academic results, distinguishing between deep and surface approaches. The sample is formed by students of Secondary Education from the academic course 2006-2007. Moreover, we have also observed the relation that could exist between the fact that a teacher teach them more than one subject and the obtained qualifi cations.
