El estudio de los perfiles motivacionales proporciona información detallada sobre los hábitos de los grupos de personas hacia la práctica de la actividad física, permitiendo poder fomentar una motivación más positiva y conseguir una mayor adherencia a la práctica. Así el objetivo de este estudio ha sido clarificar cuáles son las motivaciones frente a la práctica de actividad físico-deportiva de una muestra de jóvenes universitarios, incidiendo especialmente en las actividades náuticas. La muestra estuvo compuesta por 1011 estudiantes de la Universidad de Almería (España). El instrumento utilizado fue el cuestionario de hábitos físicos-deportivos y de práctica de deportes náuticos. Los resultados obtenidos apuntan que los principales motivos para desarrollar la práctica deportiva fueron la flexibilidad horaria y una adecuada a la disponibilidad de su tiempo libre, seguido de la cercanía a su domicilio de las instalaciones. Otros motivos son por diversión, o estar con su grupo de amigos. Respecto a las actividades náuticas, se decide practicar o no sólo porque les gustan, seguido del interés por estar en contacto con el medio natural y acuático. Las modalidades náuticas más practicadas son el piragüismo y la natación. En relación al abandono de la práctica deportiva, claramente se produce por la falta de tiempo por el estudio o el trabajo. Es evidente que la falta de tiempo por los estudios o por el trabajo, perjudica gravemente la adherencia a la actividad física, pero existen porcentajes muy altos de personas (62%) que admiten no practicar por pereza y desgana, por lo que se deben buscar nuevas estrategias de motivación para que aumente la adherencia a la actividad físico deportiva.Palabras clave: Motivación, práctica de actividad física y deportiva, actividades náuticas, hábitos físicos y deportivos, universitarios. Motivations of the University students in the physical and sports practice of free time. The nautical activitiesABSTRACTThe study of motivational profiles provides detailed information on the habits of groups of people to the practice of physical activity, allowing fostering a more positive motivation and achieving greater adherence to practice. So the aim of this study was to clarify the motivations are against the practice of physical and sporting a sample of university students, with special emphasis on water sports activity. The sample consisted of 1011 students from the University of Almeria (Spain). The instrument used was the questionnaire physical - sporting habits and water sports. The results indicate that the main reasons for developing sport and flexible hours were adequate to the availability of leisure, followed by proximity to your home facilities. Other reasons are for fun, or to be with his Universitarios y actividades náuticas © Psy, Soc, & Educ, 2016, Vol. 8(3) 230 friends. Concerning water activities, it was decided not to practice or just because they like them, followed by the wish to be in contact with the natural aquatic environment. The most practiced nautical activities are canoeing and swimming. In relation to the abandonment of the sport is clearly caused by the lack of time for study or work. Clearly the lack of time for study or work, seriously undermines adherence to physical activity, but there are very high percentages (62 %) who admit no laziness and unwillingness to practice, so you should seek new motivational strategies to increase adherence to physical activity sports.Keywords: Motivation; practice of physical and sports activity; nautical activities; Physical and sports habits; university student.

RESUMENLos profundos cambios en el mercado laboral han generado en los últimos años un debate en torno a la empleabilidad de los estudiantes universitarios. El objetivo de este trabajo ha sido analizar la percepción de la empleabilidad en función del sexo, titulación y situación laboral y analizar su relación con la percepción del logro. Han participado 297 estudiantes matriculados en diferentes grados de la Facultad de Educación de la Universidad de Murcia.  Los instrumentos aplicados buscan explorar la auto-percepción subjetiva de performance de empleabilidad, midiendo habilidades y competencias expresadas por los participantes y la percepción (creencias) de condiciones personales y profesionales requeridas por los empleadores ante un proceso potencial de contratación laboral. Los estudiantes universitarios no sólo perciben como necesarias determinadas características personales sino que también consideran los requerimientos del contexto sociolaboral en el que se inscriben. Asimismo, se ha comprobado la existencia de una relación estadísticamente significativa entre percepción de empleabilidad y percepción del logro. Los resultados tienen unas implicaciones prácticas de gran importancia con objeto de mejorar la empleabilidad de los estudiantes universitarios. Entre los contenidos prioritarios a abordar se contempla la incorporación de acciones de orientación profesional en los planes de estudios universitarios. ABSTRACT In the last few years, a discussion about university students´ employability has been generated by deep changes in the job market. The objective of this investigation has been to analyze employability with reference to sex, degree and employment situation, and to analyze its relation to the achievement perception. 297 students have participated in different levels of the Education Department of the University of Murcia. The tools that have been applied seek to explore the subjective self-perception on the employability performance, measuring skills and abilities expressed by the participants, and the perception (belief) of personal and professional conditions required by employers with reference to a potential job hiring. University students not only perceive that certain personal characteristics are necessary, but they also consider the requirements of their social and labor context. Also tested the existence of a statistically significant relation among employability perception and achievement expectations.The results have highly important practical implications aiming to improve the university students´ employability. Priority should focus to address the incorporation of vocational guidance in university plans of studies.

El presente trabajo se realizó con el objetivo de indagar acerca de los conocimientos sobre temas ambientales generales, los hábitos cotidianos, la predisposición hacia el cuidado del ambiente y el índice de cultura ambiental de un grupo de estudiantes ingresantes a la carrera ingeniería agronómica de la Universidad Nacional de Luján (UNLu) y consistió en una encuesta escrita, individual y anónima realizada a 81 alumnos. Los resultados obtenidos permiten afirmar que resulta necesario promover no solo la difusión de conocimientos vinculados al impacto de las actividades de producción agropecuaria sobre el ambiente natural, sino también la separación de residuos, la reutilización de materiales tales como papel, vidrios o metales, la compra de productos que sean amigables con el ambiente, la disminución del consumo de productos innecesarios, la utilización de bolsas reutilizables al hacer las compras y los desplazamientos a pie o en bicicleta y con el fin de lograr que estos hábitos puedan extenderse a un mayor número de personas. Estos resultados, sumados al interés expresado por los encuestados en participar en diferentes acciones vinculadas al cuidado del ambiente natural, invitan a pensar en la importancia de desarrollar acciones de educación ambiental desde las distintas instituciones educativas, incluida la universidad. Abstract The present work was carried out with the aim of inquiring about knowledge on general environmental issues, daily habits, predisposition towards caring for the environment and the index of environmental culture of a group of students entering the agronomic engineering career at the National University of Luján (UNLu) and consisted a written, individual and anonymous survey of 81 students. The results obtained confirm that it is necessary to promote not only the dissemination of knowledge related to the impact of agricultural production activities on the natural environment, but also the separation of waste, the reuse of materials such as paper, glass or metals, the purchase of products that are friendly to the environment, the decrease in the consumption of unnecessary products, the use of reusable bags when shopping and traveling on foot or by bicycle and in order to ensure that these habits can be extended to a greater number of people. These results, added to the interest expressed by the respondents in participating in different actions related to the care of the natural environment, invite us to think about the importance of developing environmental education actions from the different educational institutions, including the university.

El presente trabajo, elaborado desde una perspectiva sociológica, tiene dos objetivos principales: debatir la supuesta gratuidad de la educación superior, mediante una revisión histórica de las cuotas escolares en la Universidad Veracruzana, así como criticar la supuesta igualdad de los estudiantes universitarios que está implícita en la política universitaria de cuotas escolares. En el primer punto, elaboramos una periodización de la historia de las cuotas a partir de la legislación que sobre ellas se encontró en los archivos de la Universidad. En lo que respecta a la política de cuotas, ésta supone una igualdad de los estudiantes que debatimos a partir de las diferencias socio-culturales de los estudiantes de primer ingreso en la UV en 2003. A partir de estos dos elementos revisados, presentamos al final del artículo una propuesta de cuotas diferenciadas que reconoce dichas diferencias de los estudiantes en la UV.AbstractThe present work, elaborated from a sociological perspective, has two primary targets: to debate the supposed gratuity of the higher  education, by means of an historical revision of the scholastic quotas in the Universidad Veracruzana, as well as to criticize the supposed equality of the university students that is implicit in the university policy of scholastic quotas. In the first point, we elaborated a periodization of the history of the quotas from the legislation that on them was found in the archives of the University. With regard to the policy of quotas, this one supposes an equality of the students that we debated from the sociocultural differences of the students of first entrance in the UV in 2003. From these two reviewed elements, we present at the end of the article a proposal of differentiated quotas that recognizes these differences of the students in the UV.

Abstract.ACADEMIC EXPECTATIONS AND PLANNING. KEYS TO INTERPRETATION OF FAILURE AND ACADEMIC ABANDONMENTAcademic expectations represent what students expect to achieve during their training. They are linked to previous experiences and events, in accordance with which forecasts about what will happen are made. If the expected events occur, the foreseen behavior will be carried out, such that expectations influence behavior and play an adaptive role of adjustment or maladjustment to academic reality. Planning has been defined as a hierarchical process that can control the order in which one performs a sequence of operations. The plan controls human information processing and the essential patterns of connections between knowledge, evaluation, and action. Academic adaptation in the different learning contexts is influenced by personal, academic, and social factors that cause many students to perceive many difficulties and make their adaptation more difficult. These students’ adaptation is still more difficult when the perceived difficulties are accompanied by their few coping strategies and by lack of support from the institutions. From a multi-dimensional conception of academic expectations (training for employment, personal and social development, student mobility, political/citizen involvement, social pressure, quality of training, and social interaction), a predictive model has been established in freshmen university students, with planning as a predictor of these expectations. The obtained predictive model provides an approach to the relationship between the strategies of problem solving, life goals, and academic expectations of freshman university students, which constitute key pieces in their academic success. At the same time, it allows a possible interpretation of academic failure and academic dropout, as well as of learning difficulties and problems adapting to the university context, and to other contexts and educational stages.Keywords: Academic expectations, planning, adaptation, academic success, academic failure, academic dropout.Resumen.Las expectativas académicas representan aquello que los estudiantes esperan alcanzar durante su formación. Están vinculadas con las experiencias y acontecimientos previos vividos, de acuerdo a los cuales se hacen previsiones sobre lo que sucederá. Si se producen los hechos anticipados se ejecutará la conducta prevista, por lo que las expectativas influencian la conducta y desempeñan un papel adaptativo de ajuste o no a la realidad académica. La planificación se ha definido como un proceso jerárquico que puede controlar el orden en el que se realiza una secuencia de operaciones. El plan controla el procesamiento de la información humana y las pautas de conexiones esenciales entre conocimiento, evaluación y acción. La adaptación académica, en los distintos contextos de aprendizaje, está influenciada por factores personales, académicos y sociales que hacen que muchos estudiantes perciban muchas dificultades y les sea dificultosa tal adaptación. Más difícil es aún la adaptación, cuando las dificultades percibidas van acompañadas de pocas estrategias de afrontamiento por parte de los estudiantes y por falta de apoyo por parte de las instituciones. Desde una concepción multidimensional de las expectativas académicas (formación para el empleo, desarrollo personal y social, movilidad estudiantil, implicación político/ciudadana, presión social, calidad de formación e interacción social), se ha establecido un modelo de predicción en estudiantes universitarios de primer año con la planificación como predictor de dichas expectativas. El modelo de predicción obtenido ofrece una aproximación al vínculo existente entre las estrategias de solución de problemas, los objetivos de vida y las expectativas académicas de los estudiantes universitarios de primer año, que constituyen piezas clave en su éxito académico. Al mismo tiempo permite una posible interpretación del fracaso y abandono académico, así como de las dificultades de aprendizaje y adaptación al contexto universitario y en otros contextos y etapas educativas.Palabras clave: expectativas académicas, planificación, adaptación, éxito académico, fracaso académico, abandono académico.
