Modelling academic entrepreneurial intention with Bayesian networks / Modelado de la intención emprendedora académica con redes bayesianas

“…En cualquier caso, e independientemente del modelo que se tome para explicar este fenómeno, y tal como enfatizaba Shapero (1985), existe la necesidad de potenciar el emprendimiento, así como de mejorar nuestra comprensión del papel que juegan quienes emprenden en la sociedad. En este sentido, el interés del presente trabajo reside en poner el punto de mira en las universidades como principales fuentes de conocimiento, de generación de profesionales especializados y como impulsoras de la economía (e.g., Abbott, Zastrow, Gibney, & Nordling, 2014; Beraza & Rodríguez, 2007; Jones, Macpherson, & Woollard, 2008; Mars, 2009; Nature, 2014; Pirnay, Surlemont, & Nlemvo, 2003; Watson-Capps & Cech, 2014). Es más, algunos autores señalan que nos encontramos ante un modelo universitario que podría denominarse como ‘universidad emprendedora’ (e.g., Beraza & Rodríguez, 2007; Morales, 2008) aludiendo al papel clave que esta institución tiene para auspiciar el emprendimiento.…”

“…In any event, regardless of the model taken to explain this phenomenon, and as Shapero (1985) stressed, there is a need to foster entrepreneurship, as well as to improve our understanding of the role played by entrepreneurs in society. In this sense, the interest of this study lies in focusing on universities as prime sources of knowledge and the generators of expert professionals and drivers of the economy (e.g., Abbott, Zastrow, Gibney, & Nordling, 2014; Beraza & Rodríguez, 2007; Jones, Macpherson, & Woollard, 2008; Mars, 2009; Nature, 2014; Pirnay, Surlemont, & Nlemvo, 2003; Watson-Capps & Cech, 2014). What is more, some authors state that the current university model could be called the ‘entrepreneurial university’ (e.g., Beraza & Rodríguez, 2007; Morales, 2008), alluding to this institution’s key role in fostering entrepreneurship.…”

Teaching and learning based on peer review: a realistic approach in forensic sciences

“…Challenges of today’s society, particularly of economic, social and scientific nature, and the mass access to continuous new information, urges a revolution in the way of thinking on education. It is needed to renew the paradigm of teaching and it should be made every effort to ensure that the university and the professional life are seen as partners in research and education 1 .…”
