The problem about the comprehension of Physics Texts by students of the First Courses at University is the axis of analysis in this paper. Our intention is to know the learning strategies that our university students use to comprehend a scientific text. We studied the cognitive activities of the students when reading the text and the relationship between them through a global coefficient of comprehension. The results obtained let us assert that it is convenient to teach adequate strategies for the comprehension of physics texts.
