Resumen:
Sumario:Learning strategies (cognitive and metacognitive strategies as well as those related to the use of resources) are closely linked to the student's academic performance, making it possible to improve learning. Learning strategies have been considered fundamental tools in teaching-learning processes in all areas of knowledge, including mathematics. The goal of the present research is to detect the characteristics in the use of learning strategies in mathematics in high school students as well as any difference that may arise according to academic year and gender. The LIST questionnaire (Learning Strategies at University) was applied to 154 students: 91 female students (59,1%) and 63 male students (40,9%). A very acceptable reliability of the instrument was found (α=0,94). On one hand, the group of students in the second semester has a tendency to make more use of the strategies evaluated, as compared to the other groups. On the other hand, female students tend to manage mathematical knowledge in a better way, to have a suitable learning environment and to search for information in different sources when facing difficulties, more often than male students.
