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: This research addresses the factors influencing the eradication of poverty within the framework of Sustainable Development Goal 1 (End poverty), with emphasis on the strategies implemented in Ecuador. The general objective was to analyze the academic preferences of UTPL Law students and their relationship with the ODS, through the study of constitutional rulings. A mixed-methods approach was used, combining documentary and jurisprudential analysis to gather both qualitative and quantitative data. Techniques included content analysis, online research, and case study, using a linking matrix between subjects, SDGs, and selected rulings. Among the findings, institutional weaknesses were identified in providing priority attention to people in situations of double vulnerability, and in aligning public policy implementation with the ODS. Ruling No. . 889- 20-JP/21 was central in revealing these institutional gaps. The study concludes that it is essential to strengthen legal education with a focus on human rights and sustainability, and to reform institutional protocols to ensure effective and equitable care for vulnerable populations.
