EL EFECTO DEL DESEO DE CONTROL EN EL DESARROLLO DE COMPETENCIAS

One of the proposed aim of the new higher education´s paradigm is the obtaining and development of competences which favour the entry into employment of students. This obtaining and development process is not only carried out in the educational context but there could be individual variables that can take part in this process. One of these variables is the desire of control. The aim of this study is to know the effect of individual differences in desire of control related to their competences development. There were 69 students participating in the study, aged between 18 and 26 years old. Results have shown that desire of control can play a key role in the obtaining, the coaching and the development competences of students.
