- PublicationOpen AccessEvaluación del rendimiento en la enseñanza superior. Comparación de resultados entre alumnos procedentes de la LOGSE y del COU(Universidad de Murcia. Servicio de Publicaciones, 2002) Miguel Díaz, Mario de; Apodaca Urquijo, Pedro Miguel; Arias Blanco, José Miguel; Escudero Escorza, Tomás; Rodriguez Espinar, Sebastián; Vidal García, JavierIn this paper, we analyze the performance of university students who have followed two different models of secondary education in Spain (COU and LOGSE). In order to do that, we have followed up a sample of cohorts from first year at university in 5 Spanish universities: Barcelona, Oviedo, País Vasco, Salamanca and Zaragoza. That means that we have analyzed data from almost 150.000 students along 2 to 6 years. We have used descriptive and comparative statistics, bivariate and multivariate, and also some meta-analysis. Our main conclusion is that there are no significant differences in the performance of students at university depending on the type of secondary education they have followed.

- PublicationOpen AccessDocencia e investigación en educación superior(Universidad de Murcia. Servicio de Publicaciones, 2002) Hernández Pina, FuensantaThe relationship between teaching and research has been subject of analysis for the past decades, as shown in numerous articles published on prestigious journals.

- PublicationOpen AccessOferta de los servicios de orientación en las universidades españolas(Universidad de Murcia. Servicio de Publicaciones, 2002) Vidal, Javier; Díez, Gloria M.; Vieira, M. JoséInany educational system, guidance and counselling are considered as a hallmark of quality. Since the 1980s, while there has been a dramatic increase in the range of choices on offer in universities throughout Spain, it has become more difficult to enter the work force. Consequently, there has been a growth in the number of Guidance and Counselling Services aimed at helping students in decision making throughout their years at university. This study describes Guidance and Counselling Services and pinpoints innovations and improvement actions implemented in these services at Spanish universities in order to facilitate information that might be helpful in improving the system. Two sources of information have been used: institutional web sites and telephone interviews with persons in charge of Spanish university Guidance and Counselling Services.
- PublicationOpen AccessEl género: ¿constructo mediador en los enfoques de aprendizaje universitario?(Universidad de Murcia.

The differences found in some dimensions show as the wombs and cultural identities together with the origin career, they have weight in the learning focus.

- PublicationOpen AccessAnálisis dimensional de las opiniones de los alumnos universitarios sobre sus profesores: comparación entre técnicas paramétricas y no-paramétricas(Universidad de Murcia. Servicio de Publicaciones, 2002) Apodaca Urquijo, Pedro Miguel; Grad, HéctorThe possibilities and limitations of the sumative and formative functionalities in the use of the students´ratings are discussed. These functionalities are closely related to the unidimensional or multidimensional character of such surveys. A revision of the dimensions proposed by diverse authors were made and a great agreement found. The contributions and limitations of parametric and nonparametric statistical techniques (LISREL versus SSA) are discussed in order to analyze the structure and dimensionality of the construct of educational competence. These techniques were applied to ample samples of two universities answering to two different instruments. Results found by means of LISREL are consistent with previous similar studies. Results found by means of SSA bring out evidence for a nonlinear reconceptualization of the construct educational competence that suitably integrates the traditional unidimensional and multidimensional conceptualizations.
- PublicationOpen AccessEl modelo de teorías implícitas en el análisis de la estructura de creencias del profesorado universitario sobre la enseñanza(Universidad de Murcia. Servicio de Publicaciones, 2002) Jiménez Llanos, Ana Beatriz; Correa Piñero, Ana DeliaThis work presents a research on University teachers’ beliefs about education on the basis of Implicit Theories model.

On the other hand, the role of ten educational domains (Knowledge, Learning and the pupil, Discipline and management, Teacher-pupil interaction, Materials, Evaluation, Teaching, Teacher, and Social environment) was analysed in detail, relating them to the above mentioned theories. Finally, underlying Implicit Theories structure (beliefs synthesis or attributional teacher knowledge) in higher education teachers was stated.

- PublicationOpen AccessLa Alfabetización en información en las universidades(Universidad de Murcia. Servicio de Publicaciones, 2002) Gómez-Hernández, José-Antonio; Licea de Arenas, JudithAn enormous amount of publications on information literacy has been published over the past decade. However, it is not known yet how students learn to develop their information skills such as: recognising when information is needed and having the ability to locate, evaluate, and use it effectively. Since Zurkowski coined the concept in 1974, information literacy has been defined many times. Therefore, we attempted to explain that information literacy is nowadays a basic skill for students and university staff. This means that universities need to change their teaching and learning styles. On the other hand, libraries should offer new services in order to overcome information illiteracy among their communities. Collaboration between librarians and teachers is a must.
- PublicationOpen AccessConsistencia entre motivos y estrategias de aprendizaje en estudiantes universitarios(Universidad de Murcia. Servicio de Publicaciones, 2002) Hernández Pina, Fuensanta; García Sanz, María Paz; Martínez Clares, Pilar; Hervás Avilés, Rosa María; Maquilón Sánchez, Javier JerónimoIn this research a wide sample of students studying different degrees in Murcia University has been used. Our objective has been to analyse the consistency between the learning motives and the learning strategies employed by university students. It can be observed that there is a tendency to use motives and strategies within the same kind of learning approach. Nevertheless, it has also been observed that students may use strategies which belong to a different approach if forced by external influences.
