Caracterización de los estudiantes de la Universidad Católica del Maule, Talca-Chile, en función de sus opiniones respecto del uso del tiempo libre

Abstract

This article is a partial and sectorised product of a longitudinal research entitled “Study: Youth, Culture and Religion”, which was developed by a group of Chilean and Latin-American Catholic Universities, including “Universidad Católica del Maule”. From the results of an opinion survey applied to incoming students 2008, belonging to all university degrees, we aim to characterize them by their use of free time. This article is based on quantitative, descriptive and non-experimental research, which is looking for projection by means of collecting information from the same subjects of study during the next five years.
