Entender como aprenden los estudiantes en la actualidad es de vital importancia para la toma de decisiones. En este sentido, la incorporación de las TIC está modificando las dinámicas de enseñanza y aprendizaje tanto formales como no formales e informales. El objetivo de este estudio es analizar las interacciones a través de diferentes recursos tecnológicos que contribuyen a la formación de estudiantes universitarios. Los entornos personales de aprendizaje (PLE) son considerados como un entramado de herramientas, actividades, finalidades y conexiones que las personas utilizan para su aprendizaje. En este trabajo se retoman las redes personales de aprendizaje (PLN) como parte imprescindible de estos, destacando así el carácter social del aprendizaje. El estudio parte de un enfoque cuantitativo a través de un diseño no experimental y transaccional. La muestra (n=1187) fue seleccionada de forma probabilística y queda representada por estudiantes universitarios de los últimos años de todas las carreras de las Universidad Nacional (Costa Rica). La recogida de datos se llevó a cabo a través de un cuestionario elaborado ad hoc. Los resultados muestran que los estudiantes interactúan en mayor medida con los compañeros y el profesorado a través de la comunicación móvil y el correo electrónico. Destaca la escasa conexión con profesionales, así como el uso limitado de herramientas que permiten ampliar las redes de aprendizaje. Por otro lado, se han encontrado diferencias en las interacciones de acuerdo con el rendimiento académico, dejando entrever la importancia de enriquecer los PLE en general y las PLN en particular. Understanding how students are currently learning is of vital importance for the decision-making process. In that sense, the incorporation of ICT is modifying formal, non-formal and informal teaching and learning dynamics. This study’s objective is to analyse the interactions through different technological resources that contribute to the education of university students. The personal learning environments (PLE) are viewed as a set of tools, activities, aims and connections that people use in their learning process. In this paper, the personal learning networks (PLN) are taken up as an indispensable part of them, thus highlighting the social nature of the learning process. The study takes a quantitative approach through a non-experimental and transactional design. The sample (n=1187) was selected by strata in a probabilistic way and is represented by last year university students from all programs at the Universidad Nacional (Costa Rica). The data collection was carried out through an ad hoc developed questionnaire. The results demonstrate that the students interact with their classmates and teachers to a greater extent via mobile communication and email. It highlights the scarcity of connections to professionals as well as the utilization of tools through which learning networks are amplified. On the other hand, differences have been found in the interactions according to academic performance, pointing to the importance of enriching the PLE in general and the PLN in particular.

THE FORMATION OF THE PROFESSIONAL AT PRESENT-DAY ENTREPRENEURIAL TENDENCIES. ECOLOGICAL AND SOCIOAMBIENTAL MARKETINGRESUMENLas exigencias de los nuevos mercados al cumplimiento de los requerimientos sociales y medioambientales, ha impulsado el desarrollo y concreción de ciencias asociadas al campo del marketing no lucrativo. En tal sentido se puede mencionar el marketing ecológico, cuyo enfoque es la comercialización de productos de forma respetuosa con el medio ambiente. En una incursión más reciente aparece el marketing socioambiental que incide en “la modificación de los comportamientos que afectan de forma negativa a los recursos naturales del planeta”. (MIER-TERÁN, 2006). Ambas tendencias no solo son importantes para la conservación de nuestros recursos futuros sino para que la actividad comercial del presente sea sostenible. Se impone entonces crear en los profesionales del futuro una mentalidad consecuente con esta necesidad desde su formación de pregrado como parte de la educación ambiental. Es por ello que se pretende en la investigación apoyar, con la propuesta de la incorporación del marketing ecológico y socioambiental, a la formación integral de los estudiantes universitarios. Como resultado, los elementos teóricos que se ofrecen pueden ser utilizados como material de apoyo para la realización de investigaciones similares. Del mismo modo pueden servir para enriquecer el proceso de enseñanza aprendizaje en la universidad cubana actual. Los métodos y técnicas utilizados, nacen desde el marketing ecológico y el socioambiental como instrumento tanto para la creación e implementación de campañas orientadas a modificar y promover comportamientos pro-ambientales como a contribuir desde la planificación y gestión empresarial a una economía sostenible.PALABRAS CLAVE: marketing ecológico; marketing socioambiental; formación integral; estudiantes universitariosABSTRACTThe new requirements of markets to the fulfilment of social requests and environmental, it has impulsed the development and concretion of sciences correlated to non-profit marketing's.

This research aimed to design a novel teaching and learning process in the professional experience training. The Successive Approximation Model (SAM) was applied in the design steps. The attainment of the designed framework derived from numbers of theoretical reviews, as well as the analytical data collected from the expert interviews. The proposed framework included the components of a Personal Learning Network (PLN), the process of PLN, and the professional experience procedure. The components of PLN were: learning resources, learning tools, learning content, and learning activities. In addition, the process of PLN consisted of Creation, Connection, Cognition, and Contribution. The professional experience incorporated nine main activities particularly, enrolling in the course, joining three compulsory seminars, doing two major periods of internship, mentor visiting, submitting assignments, and completing the course. These three concepts were combined into the framework of integrated learning activities, which occurred in social networking tool, Course Networking (CN). It operated as the learning tool utilized the newly created addable badges as a part of gamification features. The assessment results from the eleven experts revealed that the teaching and learning practice using personal learning networks on social networking tools with gamification in the professional experience proved to have high levels of standard evaluation, innovative attributes, design process, teaching and learning procedure, and teaching and learning activities.

AbstractStudents’ personal learning networks can be a valuable resource of success in higher education: they offer opportunities for academic and personal support and provide sources of information related to exams or homework. We study the determinants of learning networks using a panel study among university students in their first and second year of study. A long-standing question in social network analysis has been whether the tendency of individuals with similar characteristics to form ties is a result of preferences “choice homophily” or rather selective opportunities “induced homophily”. We expect a latent preference for homophilic learning partnerships with regard to attributes, such as gender, ability, and social origin. We estimate recently developed temporal exponential random graph models to control for previous network structure and study changes in learning ties among students. The results show that especially for males, same-gender partnerships are preferred over heterogeneous ties, while chances for tie formation decrease with the difference in academic ability among students. Social origin is a significant factor in the crosssectional exploration but does appear to be less important in the formation of new (strong) partnerships during the course of studies.

The aim of this paper is to present and analyze how university students experience teaching methods of Icelandic as a second language and communication with teachers during the learning process. The theoretical framework includes multicultural education theory and second language teaching and learning theories. The findings are based on qualitative interviews with twelve students who study Icelandic as a second language at the University of Iceland. The analysis of the interviews revealed that the participants were generally satisfied with the learning environment and had positive experiences of communication with the majority of the teachers. Nevertheless, the participants described themselves as being rather passive recipients of knowledge in the courses where explicit teaching of grammar was applied, and lacking active participation in the learning process. Additionally, the participants encountered several challenges during the learning process such as issues related to task-based and group assignments and, in some cases, teachers lacked understanding of different students’ needs, such as that of providing extra learning materials.
