    Procrastination in University Students: A Proposal of a Theoretical Model
    (MDPI, 2023-02) Araya-Castillo, Luis; Burgos, Mildred; González, Patricia; Rivera, Yuracid; Barrientos, Nicolás; Yáñez Jara, Víctor; Ganga-Contreras, Francisco; Sáez, Walter
    Procrastination is a phenomenon that affects university students and consists of not finishing a task or finishing it late, which has a direct impact on their academic performance. This is relevant because, in a context of high competition, higher education institutions and their decision-makers need to be aware of the factors that influence university students’ procrastination in order to implement actions that favor student attraction and retention. Based on the above, this research aims to propose a theoretical model of procrastination in university students, based on the literature review and content validation assessment through a semi-structured questionnaire. The proposed model is made up of nine dimensions: Psychological, Physiological, Social, Academic, Leisure, Time Management, Resources, Labor, and Environmental. Dimensions were obtained based on adequate levels of content validity provided by the literature and the questionnaire. In the future, the research proposes to study the way in which these dimensions are present in procrastination and design a scale that allows for their measurement. © 2023 by the authors.

    Propuesta de modelo de satisfacción e intención de comportamiento en educación superior a distancia
    (Centro Universitario de Anapolis, 2021-12) Araya-Castillo, Luis; Bernardo, Mercè; Ganga-Contreras, Francisco; Sáez, Walter
    Los sectores de la educación superior han alcanzado altos niveles de competencia a nivel global, y Latinoamérica no ha escapado a esta realidad. En este escenario, algunas universidades han respondido a través de la oferta de estudios en modalidad no tradicional (a distancia). Estas instituciones no sólo tienen como desafío que grupos diferentes de estudiantes puedan acceder al sistema de educación superior, sino que también deben enfocar sus esfuerzos en alcanzar adecuados niveles de satisfacción. Dada esta realidad, la presente investigación tiene como objetivo central proponer un modelo de satisfacción e intención de comportamiento en educación superior a distancia (ESaD). Para ello, se realiza en primera instancia un análisis documental, revisando los diversos artículos que se han publicado sobre la materia. Adicionalmente se utiliza como técnica de recolección de datos una encuesta estructurada, la cual se aplica a una muestra de 668 estudiantes de ESaD de Chile. El modelo desarrollado es de tipo reflexivo, de segundo orden y de naturaleza unidimensional, y en el mismo se propone que la satisfacción de los estudiantes influencia en forma positiva sus intenciones de comportamiento. A través de la validación psicométrica se concluye, que en orden de importancia, la satisfacción tiene mayor impacto en la retención, seguida de la lealtad y por último en la disposición a pagar.

    Situation of the offer Doctorate in Education Programs in Chile
    (Universidad del Zulia, 2023) Ganga-Contreras, Francisco; Rodriguez-Ponce, Emilio; Castillo, Juan; Viancos-González, Patricio
    The quality training demand has increased due to the complexity of modern society. As education is the fundamental foundation for people’s progress, this research is interested in analyzing the offer of doctoral programs in education in Chile ( quality and quantity), aiming to generate information for the decisionmaking process of the various interest groups. This research was a descriptive study involving primary and secondary sources of information (scientific articles, enrollment database, and web pages); a relevant source is the Higher Education Information System of the Chilean Ministry of Education, whose version is updated until July 2022. A growth of 2,680.5% was detected in the enrollment of postgraduate students in Chile between 1984 and 2022, which exceeds the higher education system, which has multiplied its enrollment by 6.8 times in the same period, which in the specific case of doctorates is 46 times. The relevance of accreditation systems underscores the need for a more substantial commitment to ensure quality education at all levels, especially in doctoral programs in this area. © 2023, Revista de Ciencias Sociales.
