Servicio de Publicaciones, 2007-07-01) Cabrera Rodríguez, Flor A.This article outlines a model of Self-managed Participative Evaluation (SPE) considered as a strategy for learning and change in organisations. The article also assesses the viability of the model using an evaluative research procedure based on a cluster evaluation methodology. The SPE model outlined is described along with the theoretical and methodological foundations which underpin it. The evaluative research which was carried out in order to test the model is then adescribed. A detailed description is also offered of the measurement and evaluation plan implemented as part of the initial evaluation (which constitutes the source for the validation of the model and forms an essential part of the research on which the article is based), of the way the plan was operationalised and of the results obtained. Finalyy, details are given of the results obtained in the various evaluative analyses, results which offer support for the validity of the model.

- PublicationOpen AccessEstrategias de aprendizaje y rendimiento académico en estudiantes universitarios(Universidad de Murcia. Servicio de Publicaciones, 2007-07-01) Suárez Rodríguez, Jesús; Ferreras Remesal, AliciaThe main objective of this work it is to analyze the incidence of learning strategies in the academic achievement of the university students. In order to get it we developed the LSUSQ Questionnaire (Learning Strategies of University Students Questionnaire) that we validated with a representative sample of students of the two public universities of the city of Valencia in Spain (545 students): the University of Valencia and the Polytechnic University of Valencia. We carried out correlations and multiple regression analysis that reflect the relationship between learning strategies and academic achievement and we also carried out hierarchical eluster analysis, finding four groups of students with diverse strategic use profile: one of them good, and the three other ones, poor. Later, existing differences in grades were examined (ANOVA plus post hoc) between established groups depending on their strategic profile, where significant differences were found benefiting the group with positive strategic profile.
- PublicationOpen AccessElaboración y validación de la escala de dominios de valores televisivos (EDVT)(Universidad de Murcia. Servicio de Publicaciones, 2007-07-01) Palacios Navarro, Santiago; Medrano Samaniego, María ConcepciónThis paper presents the developmente and validation of a scale based on the Schwartz dominions. Assuming it is valid, this scale will enable us to coherently interpret empirical data in relation to the proposed theoretical framework. To this end, the paper presents the results obtained on the Television Value Dominion Scale (TVDS), and adaptation of the Schwartz Value Scale (SVS) developed with the aim of applying the said scale to the framework of a research project focusing on television habits and values. The validity results were reached through a multidimensional analysis and enable us to conclude that the TVDS is, structurally speaking, an almost exact replica of the original model. These results enable us to proceed with confidence with our research into personal and television values, since we now have a tool based on a consolidated model, whose validity has been statistically proven.

- PublicationOpen AccessHIA. Herramienta informática para el asesoramiento(Universidad de Murcia. Servicio de Publicaciones, 2007-07-01) Sanz Esbrí, JesúsIn a few short years, Information and Comunication Technologies (ICT) have come a long way, thus favouring the appearance and development of new tools to help guidance counsellors and those they counsel.The most widely used computer programmes for vocational counselling have generally been configured as closed systems. HIA is an attempt to overcome this barrier, as a computer tool set in a web environmet which allows guidance counsellors (http://imp.act.uji.es/-amarzal/hia/orientador) -according to their specific needs and circumstances -to design and distribute their own questionnaires/tools. Once completed by the counselled students (http://imp.act.uji.es/-amarzal/hia), the questionnaires will be corrected and assessed by this tool, and then included in an extensive database which will offer many alternatives for further analysis.

Therefore, through a real case, one sets out a model and its methodologic sequence, like reference for the university institutions, that allows to carry out the corresponding diagnostic analysis for to design possible strategic plans.
