How much the students gain from the lectures
It sound very LA to me. It means that the student 'ingests/digests' the content of the lecture. ...and benefits from it.

: Perhaps you can provide us more context. In the educ. setting in California "aprovechamiento" is academic achievement

"utilization" or "application"
these are the terms in english that can mean "aprovechamiento"....they may not sound like a direct translation, but they certainly maintain the register in tact.
