Pathways of University Graduates and Undergraduates, and their Professional / Institutional Identity Factors: Impact on Both Cases from Two Empirical Researchs in Argentina | Chapter 6 | Research Highlights in Language, Literature and Education Vol. 9

 The  “judgment”  of the Quality of Universities occupies a central place in the governmental-educational timetable. However, although “statistics” had connection with the education and usage system abound, skilled are few “integrative” empirical cases, with roomy spatial and temporal inclusion, that show the quantitative factors and approximate dimensions that impact the courses of university students, in their levels of academy and occupational realization (objective and subjective) as well as in their private, professional and even institutional identity. Since 1994, me develops completing studies in this line. Two investigations are bestowed here, one accompanying graduates and the other individual, with students the one extend their studies. The objective search out describe and/or explain (all-inclusive level) and understand (qualitative level) the “reasons” or “insane-social processes” fundamental the “figures” of the educational system in allure articulation with the creative system guide quality. The adopted methods, sui generis, contains three levels of analysis – macro-social, institutional and individual micro in maintained interaction or response –, according to the author's hypothesis. In both research a different methods is use and different determinants are analyzed. The used methods are semi-organized survey, tests, interviews and lexicometric analysis. The results show which determinants have the greatest impact on two together samples in the level of university and work accomplishment, in their professional careers and in terms of similarity. Likewise, convergences and divergences of problems may be visualized in both groups. The study supplies elements to decision creators to introduce changes intentionally continuous improvement.

First, the total scores of LFEQ and YLSS are (161.73±19.81) and (174.45 ± 26.50), respectively. Sceond, the total score, measure and sub-measure scores of each scale are significantly correlated in twos (r = .085 to .412, P <.05). Third, the total score of YLSS is definitely related to the followong 5 determinants like unity of information and action, balance between challenge and ability, concentration, academic accomplishment, and family financial status (β =.227, .115, .098, .158, .082, P < .05); while “liking to sleep late unhurriedly” is negatively compared with YLSS total score (β =-. 097, P <.05); the scores of following 4 determinants such as unity of information and action, aggregation, academic performance and classification economic rank are positively related to pride of YLSS (β = .286, .126, .194, .096, P<.01); while “liking to sleep late not busy” is negatively compared with self-satisfaction of YLSS (β =-. 091, P <.01); The following 4 determinants like unity of information and action, balance 'tween challenge and skill, father’s occupation, taste to self-study at leisure are absolutely related to incidental satisfaction of YLSS (β = .198, .131, .075, .073, P <.05); whlie “liking to sleep late unoccupied” and gender are in another way correlated to surroundings satisfaction of YLSS (β =-. 094, -.091, P<.01).
