    Docencia e investigación en educación superior
    (Universidad de Murcia. Servicio de Publicaciones, 2002) Hernández Pina, Fuensanta
    The relationship between teaching and research has been subject of analysis for the past decades, as shown in numerous articles published on prestigious journals. This article reviews some of the works that have dealt with such a relationship and that have approached it from different angles. Despite contradicting outcomes, some of the research presents conclusions that we consider important and relevant for university.

    Consistencia 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 Jerónimo
    In 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.

    Análisis 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, Héctor
    The 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.
