Summary: | The present research reports the results of the Claraboya project, focused on improving two variables: 1) student's satisfaction with resources available in the campus library through the implementation of attitudinal changes in their teachers regarding reading assignments, and 2) students’ academic performance in the participant courses. Methods: Using a pre-experimental design, degrees of satisfaction a sample of 373 students for seven accessibility indicators were compared to those found in two random samples of participating students on the Service-Quality Survey from 2013. Findings: For six of the seven variables analyzed, averages obtained for the students in the Claraboya Project Research Survey (cprs) are higher than those reported in the in 2013 Sample 1 and 2013 Sample 2. Additionally, there is a statistically significant greater level of satisfaction in six and five variables against scores reported in the random samples. To check the second hypothesis, courses taught by the same teacher in 2012 and 2013 (Claraboya) were selected and their averages compared. Insofar as only four of the twenty-one showed statistically significant differences, this hypothesis was rejected. Finally, the scope and limitations of this study are discussed.
La presente investigación informa los resultados del proyecto Claraboya, el cual estuvo centrado en mejorar dos variables: 1) satisfacción del estudiante con los recursos disponibles en la biblioteca del campus, a través de la implementación de cambios actitudinales en los académicos acerca de las sugerencias de texto, y 2) el rendimiento académico de los estudiantes de los cursos participantes. Mediante un diseño preexperimental, se compararon los grados de satisfacción en siete indicadores entre una muestra por accesibilidad de 373 alumnos y dos muestras aleatorias de estudiantes participantes en la encuesta de calidad de servicio 2013. Los promedios obtenidos por los alumnos en la Encuesta de Investigación Proyecto Claraboya (cprs) son superiores a los promedios 2013 para las muestras 1 y 2 en seis de las siete variables analizadas. Además, hay un nivel de satisfacción estadísticamente superior en seis y cinco variables respectivamente, en comparación con las muestras aleatorias. Para verificar la segunda hipótesis, se extrajeron los cursos impartidos por el mismo profesor en 2012 y 2013 (Claraboya) y se compararon en sus promedios. Esta hipótesis fue rechazada, en la medida en que sólo cuatro de los 21 cursos mo |
