Percepciones de los estudiantes sobre el sistema universitario en el marco del Espacio Europeo de Educación Superior: participación en programas de movilidad internacional

Abstract

This paper aims to understand the perceptions of Primary Education Degree students at the University of Jaén about the university system, paying particular attention to the European Higher Education Area (EHEA) and the international mobility of students. To do this, the authors use a descriptive methodology, using an ad hoc questionnaire (n= 230). The results show the favorable opinion of students towards teaching planning and organization, despite showing his indifference to degrees and curricula, educational services provided from the university, students’ learning process, and academic knowledge on the Degree studied. Furthermore, it demonstrates the existence of statistically significant differences in the perceptions of students on the university system according to whether or not they have participated in international mobility programs. These differences are especially obvious in matters relating to planning, teaching and academic knowledge about the Degree—students who have studied in a foreign university have a more favorable opinion about these aspects than those who have not.
