Summary:The notably undergraduate student desertion in higher education is considered one of the main difficulties in worldwide education systems. The main factors associated with this phenomenon in Colombia are related to low academic entrance skills, economic problems of students and aspects related to socio-occupational orientation and adaptation to the university environment. At Universidad Industrial de Santander an initiative has emerged since the beginning of 2017 that seeks to strengthen the entrance skills to higher education of high school students in Colombia northeast, through "Spachovsky project" that intervenes in the teaching and learning processes of three subjects: mathematics, physics and chemistry of tenth and eleventh grade, through an active learning strategy implementation: Just-in-Time Teaching whose essence is the students' previous class preparation, through questionnaires and didactic material in a web platform, which has a positive effect on what happens during the time subsequent to it with an appropriate teacher's mediation. The contents are managed through virtual tools such as: links to digital books and teaching videos through Moodle platform, which together with session preparation questionnaires, and appropriate mediation by the teacher will favor study habits and the autonomous learning of students.
