University students, as a result of their lifestyles, represent a section of the population that is most likely to adopt sedentary behaviours. The aim of the present study was to analyse the determining factors dictating the performance of physical activity as well as sedentary behaviour among university students. A total of 608 students (64.6% women) from the University of Santiago de Compostela (Spain) were selected by stratified random sampling to take part in the study, which involved completing a questionnaire on lifestyle and physical activity. Of the participating students, 69.6% indicated that they performed physical activity; the main reasons given were to maintain fitness and for health, while a lack of time and laziness were the principal reasons given for abandoning or not taking up physical exercise. Significant associations were established between not doing physical activity and the time exposed to screens, time studying, feeling low and smoking; on the other hand, associations could be seen between doing physical activity and the participation of relatives (parents, mothers, partners, older siblings and friends) in physical activity, as well as a positive sense of satisfaction relating to physical education taught in schools. In conclusion, most of the university students did some physical activity, which was associated with less sedentary behaviour, while the influence of school physical education and of the habits of relatives played an important role.

Social networking sites over the years have changed from a few user-based sites into a phenomena that has become a platform for a huge number of users. However, the growth and development of social networking sites have brought great concerns on parents and educational authorities with respect to potential risks that are facing the university students as they use online social networking frequently for gathering information. The use of social networking sites among the university students requires much attention with increasing number of students creating profile and feeding their personal information into the sites. The increasing activity on the sites by student community can negatively impact the normal activity of students' lives. This can also become a hindrance to the academic development as well as social engagement of students. Therefore, there is a need to study, assess, and evaluate the issues revolving the usage of social networking sites among the student community. The study shows that the distribution of respondents according to their influence of SNS. It shows both section-wise distribution and their composite scores. Also, the table shows the respective mean scores and standard deviation. It may be inferred that 77.50% of the respondents have stated that the influence of SNS are high, 18.55% of the respondents have stated that the influence of SNS is moderate, and 3.95% of the respondents have stated that the influence of SNS is low. However, the composite mean score (2.72), standard deviation (0.530) depicts that the respondents have stated that the influence of SNS is high.

The notion of perfectionism, which is defined as a positive notion in terms of meeting predefined standards in a perfect way, paves the way, when not controlled, to determine standards and objectives which can't be fulfilled in no circumstances. Thus, objectives that can't be met result in failures and a deterioration of the state of health of individuals. The very fact that the educators be aware of the perception style of pupils/students in terms of perfectionism and apply education techniques in conformity with these perceptions could be an important factor so that the study and learning level of the students not be affected in a negative manner.This survey is a descriptive study where we tried to evaluate the perceptions about perfectionism of the students who study business administration in the Faculties of Economics and Administrative Sciences in the University of GAZİ and the University of Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. A personal information form containing socio-demographic data and ''Multi-Dimensional Perfectionism Scale'', which was developed by Hewitt and Flett (1991) and translated into Turkish by Oral (1999), were used, respectively, to collect data and survey the perceptions of the said students in terms of perfectionism in this data. The perception of 580 students (370 from GAZİ University and 210 from the University of RecepTayipErdoğan) with regard to perfectionism have been tested and evaluated within the scope of the survey. The outcomes of the survey revealed significant differences, in statistical terms, between the perfectionism determined by others and gender, number of siblings and the location where the family dwells which are the sub-dimensions of perfectionism, and perfectionism directed to others and the educational background of mothers. Keywords: perfectionism, business education

The aim of the study was to determine the influence of the current scope of P.E. classes organized at the University of Warmia & Mazury in Olsztyn (Poland) during a period of one semester on the level of 1st year students’ motor abilities. A total of 337 full-time students aged 19-20 participated in the research. In order to calculate the students’ BMI, basic anthropometric parameters such as their body mass and height were measured. The students’ motor abilities were examined at the beginning as well as at the end of the summer semester of the academic year 2009/2010 using the following 13 motor tests: the standing long jump [cm], the 4x10 m shuttle run [s], the skipping with clapping of hands – 8 s [number of claps], sit-ups – 30 s [number of sit-ups], the medicine ball (4 kg) forward throw [cm], the medicine ball (4 kg) backward throw [cm], the bent-arm hang on bar [s], the downward bend from standing position [cm], the sit and reach [cm], Burpee test – 1 and 3 min. [number of cycles], and the forward-backward arm rotation over head holding a bar [cm]. The data were subjected to statistical analysis using the Statistica PL v. 10 software package. In the majority of motor trials (eight out of eleven) the students performed significantly worse after completing the semester-long P.E. course. In the other five trials the differences were found to be insignificant. Moreover, the study revealed that the participants’ average BMI increased over the course of the experiment. Based on the above it can be concluded that the current university P.E. program seems to be ineffective as it failed to result in noticeable positive physical changes, although the possible influence of the P.E. classes on the students’ attitudes toward physical education and their future lifestyles should not be ignored. If it is to lead to the desired physical changes in university youth, the amount of time devoted to physical education at the university must be increased, the classes distributed differently and their form rethought. Key words: physical education, P.E. program, university students, motor abilities.

La misión de la Universidad es preparar a los estudiantes para la vida, es decir, prepararlos para enfrentar los desafíos que se les presenten a nivel personal y profesional. Si bien las necesidades de la especie humana no han cambiado, sus deseos sí. La realidad empresarial está en permanente evolución. La competividad empresarial, en su afán de satisfacer esos deseos y así, vender más y obtener utilidades, es cada vez más enconada, lo que convierte en prioridad para las facultades que forman a los nuevos empresarios, el desarrollo de la creatividad como prerrequisito para el desarrollo de la innovación. En las facultades de ciencias empresariales de nuestra universidad no se ha aplicado, hasta el momento, ningún programa académico que fomente el desarrollo de esta competencia. El objetivo de esta investigación es proponer, por lo tanto, una serie de actividades para el desarrollo de la inteligencia creativa. La metodología utilizada será bibliográfica y documental. PALABRAS CLAVE: competencia; creatividad; universidad; estudiantes. CREATIVITY IN THE ENTREPRENEURSHIP OF THE STUDENTS OF THE CAREER BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION: A CHALLENGE IN THE ACADEMIC TRAINING OF COMPETITIVE ENTREPRENEURS ABSTRACT The mission of the University is to prepare students for life, that is, to prepare them to face the challenges that they will encounter at a personal and professional level. Whereas the needs of the human species have not changed, their wishes have. The business reality is constantly evolving. The business competitiveness, in its search for meeting those needs, and consequently, selling more and obtaining profits, is increasingly fiercer, which makes the development of creativity as a prerequisite for development of innovation a priority for faculties that train new entrepreneurs. In the Faculty of Business Sciences of our university, an academic program that encourages the development of this competence has not been implemented yet. The goal of this research is to propose, therefore, a series of activities for the development of creative intelligence. The methodology used will be bibliographical and make use of documental analysis. KEYWORDS: competence; creativity; university; students.
