PERCEPTION OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN INTEGRAL FORMATION AND SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY FROM STUDENTS

Most institutions of higher education explicitly mention or implicitly show that among their main functions or the most important is the comprehensive formation of students. For each institution it can have different connotations and, depending on that, strategies are defined to strengthen it. Therefore, students have different concepts about integral formation. However, those actions that contribute to improve human beings, aware of current problems and act to build better societies, can be considered socially responsible. Therefore, this investigation investigates the perception that students have in the first and last semesters of the Educational Processes career about the relationship between integral formation and university social responsibility. In this study it was found that many students do not know the terms formally, but make inferences others, have had even theoretical approaches and finally, find a close relationship between both terms.
