Abstract

Pocas veces se ha indagado acerca de lo que a un universitario le gusta o le gustaría hacer con su tiempo libre. Por esto se decidió realizar esta investigación, la cual busca conocer cómo los estudiantes de la Facultad de Minas de la Universidad Nacional de Colombia sede Medellín invierten su tiempo libre, identificando preferencias específicas de socialización, salud, diversión, descanso, entre otros componentes que determinan la predisposición a consumir un servicio específico que satisfagan dichas necesidades. Además, se presenta un análisis de los resultados hallados en cuanto a los factores tiempo, dinero, motivación, preferencias e información. Para desarrollar esta investigación, se disenaron cuestionarios tipo encuesta y se aplicaron a una muestra de 146 estudiantes de la Facultad de Minas de la Universidad Nacional de Colombia – Sede Medellín, con el fin de recolectar información primaria para analizarla usando técnicas de estadística descriptiva. Se espera que los hallazgos encontrados en este estudio sirvan como insumo para complementar futuras investigaciones sobre el tiempo libre de los estudiantes universitarios. ****** Little has been investigated about what university students like or would like to do with their leisure time.
