Características formativas y socioafectivas del alumnado de nuevo ingreso en la Universidad

Abstract

Introduction. This study aimed to obtain a profile of the formative and socio-affective characteristics of freshman students from the different specialities of Education at the University of Granada. Methodology. A total of 203 students were evaluated in vocabulary, reading comprehension and spelling, self-concept and social skills. There were also collected data related with sociodemographic variables. Results. The analysis showed that a lot of students made reading comprehension, vocabulary and spelling mistakes; furthermore, a high percentage have social and family self- concept difficulties, as well as in certain social skills. As positive aspects to highlight are their integration into the Faculty, the good relations that exist between the students, a high number consider effort and motivation important for the proffesional success; instead, it seems worrying, that a high percentage not appreciated the discipline or honesty. Conclusions. We conclude by recommending workshops, or activities which address deficient areas and training in values and attitudes.
