TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyze the relationship between learning approaches, self-regulation and academic performance in three European universities, one from the UK (UWIC, Cardiff, UK) and two from Spain (Universities of Almeria and Granada).
Abstract: El trabajo analiza la relacion entre enfoques de aprendizaje, autorregulacion y rendimiento en estudiantes universitarios de tres universidades publicas europeas: una britanica (UWIC, Cardiff, UK) y dos espanolas (Almeria y Granada). Se utilizan dos medidas de autoinforme para la recogida de informacion, el cuestionario R-SPQ-2F y las escalas EIPEA. Los resultados indican relaciones de los enfoques con la autorregulacion y el rendimiento academico. Segun el tipo de rendimiento analizado (conceptual, procedimental, actitudinal) se producen relaciones diferentes con los enfoques, lo que puede dar explicacion a las conclusiones dispares encontradas en otras investigaciones. A partir de las conclusiones se proponen nuevas lineas de investigacion. Learning approaches, self-regulation and achievement in three European universities. The current study seeks to analyze the relationship between learning approaches, self-regulation and performance. Data are gathered from three public European universities, one from the UK (University of Wales Institute, Cardiff) and two from Spain (Universities of Almeria and Granada). Two self-report measurements were used to collect information, the R-SPQ-2F questionnaire and the IATLP Scales. Results indicate that learning approaches are related to self-regulation and to academic performance. Different relationships with learning approaches are obtained depending on the type of performance analyzed (conceptual, procedural, attitudinal), which may account for divergent conclusions in other research studies. New lines of research are proposed based on the conclusions.

The juvenile are < 1 year. They come from a a headstarting program with eggs from a nest found at a beach in Pulpi (Andalusia, Spain). This is the second nest ever found at this region. The nest was found at Palmeras Beach (Pulpi) by a fishermen family and rescued by the NGO Equinac. Te nest was doomed and the eggs were relocated and incubated at the Doñana Biological Station (CSIC). Neonates were raised at the Acuario de Sevilla (Sevilla, Spain) and the CEGMA of Algeciras. Tagging was conducted by researchers from Universitat Politècnica de Valencia-IGIC and University of Valencia. Supplemental information: Visit STAT's project page for additional information.

TL;DR: In this article, an inquiry into the educational and social integration of university students with special needs derived from their disabilities is presented, which investigates how this integration is perceived at the University of Almeria from the perspectives of teaching/research staff, administration/services personnel and students including students with disabilities.
Abstract: espanolEn este estudio, hemos planteado como objetivo general hacer una investigacion sobre la integracion educativa y social de los estudiantes con necesidades especiales asociadas a una discapacidad, desde las perspectivas del personal docente e investigador, del personal de administracion y servicios, de los estudiantes en general y de los estudiantes con discapacidad en la Universidad de Almeria. Por razones de espacio, solo recogemos parte de la informacion referida al personal docente e investigador, por lo que nuestro objetivo quedaria formulado en los siguientes terminos: estudiar las ideas y actitudes que sobre capacidades, formacion y desarrollo profesional tienen los profesores de la Universidad de Almeria hacia el colectivo de estudiantes con necesidades especiales asociadas a una discapacidad». Desde un punto de vista metodologico, nos situamos en el paradigma naturalista debido a la necesidad de hacer un analisis desde la realidad que genera el objeto de estudio, sin manipulacion ni alteracion de las distintas circunstancias, materiales y personales. Se trata de un diseno de tipo descriptivo y de modalidad selectiva que utiliza el metodo de encuesta y el cuestionario como instrumento. Aunque en este articulo finalizamos con algunas de las conclusiones mas significativas, se debe tener presente que la profundidad de la investigacion permite valorar otras no contempladas y que el lector podra detectar. En general, destaca la idea de que existe un alto grado de acuerdo y poca variabilidad o dispersion en lo que se refiere a la aceptacion de estudiantes con discapacidad en las aulas universitarias, aunque llama la atencion el hecho de que en torno a la mitad de los encuestados manifiestan no ser capaces de dar una respuesta adecuada a los estudiantes con discapacidad, lo que contrasta con la idea de que favorece la integracion, las ideas y las actitudes del profesorado que ha recibido informacion acerca de los estudiantes con discapacidad en la Universidad de Almeria. EnglishThis study is an inquiry into the educational and social integration of university students with special needs derived from their disabilities. It investigates how this integration is perceived at the University of Almeria from the perspectives of teaching/research staff, administration/services personnel and students, including students with disabilities. Due to length limitation, only the portion of the information related to the teaching/research staff is presented in this article, and the overall project goal is recast into narrower terms, to wit: «To study the ideas and attitudes held by teaching/research staff of the University of Almeria in relation to the abilities, education and professional development of students with special needs derived from their disabilities». Methodologically, what is at issue is the naturalistic paradigm, because of the need to accomplish an examination deeply rooted in the reality that generates the object of study, without manipulation or alteration of the different physical and personal circumstances. Thus, a descriptive, selective design has been developed that uses the survey method, with the questionnaire as its main instrument. Though the conclusions state some significant findings, many other arguments could be considered in the light of the breadth and depth of the study, some of which can be identified by the reader. One of the most salient ideas concerns the high degree of agreement, with low variability or dispersion, as to the acceptance of disabled students in university classrooms. However, around half of the surveyed people stated that they were incapable of responding adequately to disabled students. This fact contrasts sharply with the idea that educational and social integration is fostered by the ideas and attitudes of those members of teaching/research staff who have received specific information about disabled students at the University of Almeria.
