Abstract

The results of the research project «Human rights at the Universidad de La Frontera: A diagnosis in first year students» are presented, which investigates whether students entering the first year at the Universidad de La Frontera possess minimum knowledge in the field of human rights, specifically those recognized in 1948’s Universal Declaration of Human Rights and their appreciation of statements that relate topics of human rights to the exercise of certain political rights. It is based on the hypothesis that students who graduate from secondary education do not have sufficient citizenship training, particularly in the area of human rights. It addresses the changes in the curriculum of citizen training, and later, analyzes concepts of civic formation, specifically in human rights. It analyzes the high electoral abstention to which contributes in part the insufficient civic formation. The results of the application of the diagnostic instrument are presented and analyzed. It is a quantitative and descriptive study, of transversal type, whose sample was selected with 95 per cent confidence. Data collection was performed by the creation of an instrument, analyzing the results using SPSS statistical software.
