Abstract

The present research, due to its design, is quantitative, under a descriptive and correlational methodological approach, taking as a reference a sample of 88 students. The objective is to examine University Social Responsibility from the perspective of students, with the purpose of suggesting strategies based on the practice of physical activity and sport so that they acquire in their comprehensive training capacities and skills that lead to the achievement of principles that ensure the sustainability of the social and ecological environment. The results, of an exploratory nature, reveal that university students lack awareness of the importance of Social Responsibility, which translates into a lack of social commitment and an exploration of their personal values very low in relation to the problems of their environment. As a final conclusion, it is suggested to promote Social Responsibility among university students in order to validate the social awareness of the university and the knowledge that students acquire.
