Preferencias académicas de los estudiantes de la carrera de Derecho y su vinculación con los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible (ODS) a través del estudio de sentencias

Abstract

Abstract: The work carried out proposes a research study on the impact of Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) number 16 in ruling No. 757-21-EP/22 of the Constitutional Court of Ecuador. In general terms, the purpose is to understand the determining aspects of the graduates of the Law Program at UTPL in order to develop a preference in certain fields of legal activity and establish a future specialization. Various methodologies were used, such as systematic, exegetical, and analytical-synthetic methods, as well as research techniques like note-taking and studying rulings using the Virtual Learning Environment (EVA) of UTPL. The findings suggest that, although the skills acquired may be relevant, they may not be adequate to address the urgent gaps in these areas of law. The implications include the critical participation of civil society. Finally, the work contributes to the ongoing debate on promoting just and peaceful societies, proposing pathways for action to achieve SDG 16 globally, with an emphasis on education and awareness as fundamental drivers of social transformation.
