Autoethnography as a tool for the achievement of deep learning of university students in service-learning experiences
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2023-07-06) Segú Odriozola, Mabel
This exploratory study was carried out within the framework of a pilot learning and service experience in the subject of Qualitative Research Tools in Social Work, where the autoethnographic field journal was used as a tool for the development of deep learning competency in a group of third-year university students undertaking a degree in Social Work and fourth year students undertaking a double degree in Social Education and Social Work in the Social Work, at the University of Deusto. The authors hypothesized that this qualitative research tool could help students develop their ability to critically reflect on their experiences, identify their own strengths and weaknesses in relation to deep learning competency, and establish goals to improve their learning. The service-learning methodology experience proposed for the students involved to participate in a program aimed at the transition to adulthood of young people in situations of vulnerability, where they were required to record in a field journal the emotions, interpretations, and contradictions that the experience of meeting and living with unaccompanied migrant minors using the program could evoke. The results of the qualitative study showed that the autoethnographic field journal was an effective tool for developing deep learning competency in the students participating in the pilot service-learning methodology experience. The results concluded that the autoethnographic field journal could be a valuable tool for promoting reflection, self-awareness, and critical thinking.
Examining the impact of the platform economy on Spain’s cultural destinations through the lens of free tours

Purpose: Free guided walking tours are one of the most successful tourism segments in the digital platform economy. It is beginning to be associated with negative impacts in some of the destinations where it is spreading rapidly. Although the platform economy is generating increasing academic interest, the free tour model remains largely unexplored area in the literature. This study aims to examine how such activity affects cultural destinations. Design/methodology/approach: Focussing on the largest Free Tours platform operating in Spain, GuruWalk, the methodology used analyses its impact in six cultural destinations on two of the sustainability dimensions: the territorial dimension and the governance, through an exploratory study. Findings: The findings help to understand the differences that such activity generates in each destination depending on the phase of its life cycle, and to implement, if necessary, corrective measures. The research confirms that the impacts differ according to the tourist destination’s maturity, concluding that such activity contributes to the increase of tourist agglomerations and the overcrowding of cultural destinations in their middle and mature life cycles. The findings highlighted the importance of the role of local governance on free tour activity. Originality/value: The main contribution is the association of the impacts they produce (especially in terms of massification) with destination life cycle phases. There were no similar precedents with a spatial or territorial analysis to reliably demonstrate not only that this activity has an impact on the territory but also what type of impact is produced.
Personas con discapacidad y soledad: un reto en los procesos de transición a la vida adulta
(Facultat d'Educació Social i Treball Social Pere Tarrés, 2022-01-27) Villaescusa Peral, María; Yurrebaso Atutxa, Garazi
La transición a la vida adulta es uno de los procesos más complejos a los que se enfrentan las personas con discapacidad intelectual. Todo proceso de tránsito supone un momento crítico en el que los recursos y servicios cobran especial relevancia, más aún, cuando en la actualidad estos procesos se caracterizan por ser itinerarios individualizados. En el caso de las personas con discapacidad intelectual los apoyos formales y naturales tienen un papel fundamental, unido a las necesidades de apoyo tanto de las personas como de sus familias. Se conoce que el desajuste o falta en estos apoyos puede tener grandes consecuencias en su futuro, así como la falta de acompañamiento durante el proceso. Entre estas consecuencias está la pérdida de redes y posibilidades de participación, y también, en consecuencia, el aumento del sentimiento de soledad. Por ello, el objetivo principal del siguiente texto es identificar y analizar los principales factores que influyen en estos procesos de transición a la vida adulta, prestando especial atención a los procesos de acompañamiento, las opciones de participación y redes de apoyo, y poder así diseñar itinerarios ajustados.
Identification and comparison of the main variables affecting early university dropout rates according to knowledge area and institution

The dropout rate in universities is a widely studied issue that concerns both universities and public organizations. Most studies focus on quantifying the phenomenon and identifying the variables involved. This paper uses a multidisciplinary approach to parameterize the factors that define the entry profile of undergraduates at the national level in Spain in collaboration with three universities in different regions and with different disciplines. The aim is to reduce the dropout rate in the first year of study towards a degree. The research questions focus on the weighting of personal variables about students by tutors and whether there are differences in the weighting systems for the main variables as differentiated by discipline, university and/or region. The document is organized to describe the method and context of the study, present the main results, show the application of the survey instrument in a case study, and provide conclusions. The method is based on the two fundamental factors, including the influence of certain student characteristics at matriculation and the importance of a positive experience in the first year of the degree. The study is focused on two elements that inspire the current proposal: the need to identify and rapidly detect students who, due to their entry characteristics, are at a greater risk of dropout and the importance of guaranteeing a good start in the first year of the degree. The study uses a multidisciplinary approach and combines qualitative and quantitative methods to gather data. The study also uses a survey instrument that measures the risk of student dropout based on the weighting of personal variables by tutors. The results of the study have allowed us to categorize the main variables of the student profile that affect the risk of dropout and establish them as aspects to be monitored by the tutors in the first weeks. Furthermore, it has been shown that although there are no significant differences in the averages of dropout risk calculated with either global or specific weighting systems (by centre or studies), there is a tendency observed by the tutors that the weighted averages generated by disciplinary focus are closer to identifying the student's real risk of dropping out.
