Revista electrónica de investigación y evaluación educativa
2012
The aim of this paper was to analyze the evolution of learning strategies of two groups of students, excellent and average, from 11 degrees of the UPV (Valencia/Spain) in their freshman year. We used the CEVEAPEU questionnaire. The results confirmed the availability of better strategies of excellent students and also the existence of evolutionary patterns in which affective-emotional strategies decrease, such as value of the task or internal attributions, and that others increase, such as extrinsic motivation and external attributions. It seems that the student does not meet your expectations in the new context and professors have important responsibilities. El objetivo de este trabajo era …

Monitoring the effects of therapeutic interventions in depression through self-assessments
2021
The treatment of major psychiatric disorders is an arduous and thorny path for the patients concerned, characterized by polypharmacy, massive adverse side effects, modest prospects of success, and constantly declining response rates. The more important is the early detection of psychiatric disorders prior to the development of clinically relevant symptoms, so that people can benefit from early interventions. A well-proven approach to monitoring mental health relies on voice analysis. This method has been successfully used with psychiatric patients to ‘objectively’ document the progress of improvement or the onset of relapse. The studies with psychiatric patients over 2-4 weeks demonstrated …
Psychometric Properties of the “Alcohol Consumption Consequences Evaluation” (ACCE) Scale for Young Spanish University Students
2020
Instruments that evaluate alcohol use consequences among young people do not consider the intensive alcohol consumption pattern that is so characteristic during these ages. Some of these instruments are even ineffective in the Spanish population. Hence the interest in developing an instrument more adapted to the reality of our young people. A total of 601 university students (35.9% male and 64.1% female) from 18 to 20 years old were recruited. All of them answered a total of 77 items obtained from the review of both the scientific literature and the different scales used to measure consequences derived from alcohol consumption. In addition, they completed the AUDIT and the Timeline Followba…
Internet abuse by university students: a neglected theme in Africa
2013
The purpose of this paper is to investigate potential Internet abuse by university students, an area lacking research focus in Africa. A case study was conducted at the University of The Gambia (UTG) in 2012. A total of 200 questionnaires were randomly administered to UTG students and 181 valid responses were available for analyses. The result indicates that about 18% of UTG students use the Internet for unspecified activities, demonstrating attributes that could reveal potential Internet abuse. Considering the negative implications of this phenomenon, African researchers cannot afford to neglect this theme. peerReviewed
The link between violence and suicidal behavior among female university students in Spain
2019
Objective: To explore the association between violence and suicidal behavior in female university students. Method: A convenience sample of 540 female students enrolled in the Nursing and Teacher Training Faculties at the University of Valencia was selected. Violence by partners, nonpartners, and both was compared with suicidal thoughts and suicide attempts. An adjusted logistic regression and the Wald Test were performed to explore whether the effect on student's suicidal behavior differed if a partner or others committed violence. Results: 18.1% reported suicidal thoughts in the last month and 2.4% had attempted suicide in the past five years. Suicidal behavior was significantly higher in…
Learning-Student Methods. Their Effects on Learning Strategies and Approaches to Learning of University Students
2021
At the university we are in a process of change, from a teaching centered approach to a learning centered approach. It is important to have scientific data about the use of such methodologies to evaluate both its usefulness and its functionality. The aim of this research was to assess whether the application of learning-centered methods would lead to an improvement in students' learning strategies and approaches to learning compared to the control group, which received training with a teaching-centered format. A quasi-experimental cohort design, with a non-equivalent control group. The sample consisted of 243 Pedagogy and Social Education students at the University of Valencia, who were stu…

Educación XX1 : revista de la Facultad de Educación
2019
Aprender a aprender es una de las competencias claves fijadas por la Comisión Europea (CE, 2005 y 2006) para los sistemas educativos de los países miembros. Las últimas investigaciones ponen de relieve la importancia de que los estudiantes universitarios aprendan a aprender, por lo que este estudio se ubica en la universidad. El objetivo es concretar un modelo teórico sobre dicha competencia que permita su operacionalización en los grados universitarios. Para ello se ha realizado una revisión de la literatura sobre el tema. Después de estudiar su fundamentación científica y la normativa reguladora, se analizaron múltiples modelos -especialmente provenientes de la literatura europea- y se pr…
