Entrepreneurship, understood as the generation of ideas that become reality, is a basic skill that the European Union itself is trying to develop in students. The same applies to digital skills, which have been taught at all levels of education for some time now. From the combination of both comes digital entrepreneurship, which is directly related to self-directed learning, as it requires individuals to learn to manage their own studies. This study analyses digital entrepreneurship among final year undergraduate students to understand how they also self-manage their learning, specifically in terms of management. The sample consisted of 1108 students from public universities in the region of Murcia. 64.17% of the students were female, and the average age was 23. The students proved themselves capable of learning from their own experiences, and considered planning to meet deadlines to be essential. Differences were found in relation to gender and the academic discipline of the students involved in the study. More research is needed to analyse the relationship between entrepreneurship and self-directed learning. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In 2004, the Ministry of Education, National Development and Reform Commission, State Ethnic Affairs Commission, Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security jointly released a special document On Training High-Caliber Backbone Personnel from the Ethnic Minorities, as a supporting measure for the strategy of human resources in western development of China. The central government takes it as an important force in thriving and developing the western region, especially the region where ethnic minority groups reside in the west. However, more and more graduates through the Program have breached or intend to break the contract of the Program. Why do they not abide by the contract and return to their hometown province for the work after they have enjoyed the preferential Program? This case study focused on three graduates who broke the employment contract through the Program, traced the origin and development of their minds and action, and demonstrated more about what hid behind the phenomenon. According to the deep interaction with these ethnic minority students, the research found that the social background under which high education policies for the ethnic minorities had greatly changed. The changes have challenged the implementation of the Program. Furthermore, under the socialistic market economy system, the employment contract of the Program couldn’t be processed and secured as the involved actors have expected. Last but not the least, the graduates benefited from the Program have become more and more individualistic and diversified in their career development due to different micro and macro reasons.En el año 2004 y de manera conjunta, el Ministerio de Educación, la Comisión Nacional para el Desarrollo y las Reformas, la Comisión Estatal de Asuntos Étnicos, el Ministerio de Economía, el Ministerio de Recursos Humanos y la Seguridad Social, publicaron una normativa especial para la Formación de Alto Nivel de Personal Backbone entre las Minorías Étnicas, como medida de apoyo a la estrategia de recursos humanos para el desarrollo de la zona occidental de China. El gobierno central considera un elemento clave el desarrollo de la región occidental, especialmente allí donde residen los grupos minoritarios. Sin embargo, cada vez más graduados universitarios que pasaron por el Programa han intentado pasar por encima o romper el contrato suscrito en él. ¿Por qué no cumplen con el contrato y regresan a sus provincias de origen para trabajar tras haber disfrutado de los beneficios que les brinda el Programa? Este estudio de casos se centra en tres estudiantes de grado que rompieron el contrato de trabajo suscrito dentro del Programa, se establecen el origen y evolución de sus pensamientos y acciones, y se avanza en el conocimiento de lo que hay detrás de este fenómeno. A través de una interacción profunda con estos estudiantes que pertenecen a alguna minoría étnica, la investigación ha determinado que las motivaciones sociales de las políticas educativas para grupos étnicos minoritarios han cambiado mucho. Los cambios han desafiado la implementación del Programa. Además, bajo el sistema económico de mercado socialista, el contrato de empleo del Programa no podría desarrollarse ni asegurarse en el sentido en que sus actores lo preveían. Por último, los graduados universitarios que se beneficiaron de este Programa, son cada vez más individualistas y presentan una mayor diversidad en su desarrollo profesional como consecuencia de razones de tipo micro y macro.

Durante la evaluación de informes de laboratorio de estudiantes de grado, pudimos notar, en los últimos años, un incremento de citas provenientes de internet, en lugar del empleo de manuales de laboratorio y libros de referencia, los que están disponibles en la Biblioteca o en el laboratorio. Por esto se planeó esta producción para los estudiantes: la elaboración de una monografía corta sobre el tema “Aspirina”. Esta debía considerar diferentes ítems, incluyendo Referencias (de índole diversa: documentos escritos, audiovisuales, informáticos). Uno de los objetivos de nuestra investigación es el análisis de las fuentes de información elegidas por los estudiantes. Debido al desarrollo de la informática y las comunicaciones, los estudiantes tienen acceso y pueden recolectar más información. Esto conlleva, sin embargo, un nuevo problema acerca de la calidad y cantidad de información. Es prioritario, entonces, proveer a los estudiantes de los primeros años de criterios para lograr la capacidad de manejar y seleccionar la bibliografía apropiada de diferente origen.
