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 sentencia

Abstract

Abstract: The research was conducted at the Universidad Técnica Particular de Loja (UTPL), focusing on students and graduates of the Law program. The sample included perceptions of the graduates regarding their academic preferences and their connection to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG number 16. A mixed methodology, both qualitative and quantitative, was applied, using techniques such as fiching, analysis, and case study through online research in legal databases and digital resources provided by UTPL. Informative fiches were created to collect data on acquired competencies, preferred subjects, and their relation to legal and social issues. The results indicate that students' academic preferences align with areas that promote justice and the protection of human rights, showing an increasing awareness of the importance of the SDGs in their education and professional practice. The research concludes that the study of court rulings is a key resource for strengthening legal competencies and promoting the social commitment of future lawyers, contributing to the creation of a more inclusive and effective justice system.
