Temuco UniverCiudad Mobility Program: Empowering comprehensive training and establishing collaborative networks in the capital of La Araucanía

Abstract

The comprehensive training of future professionals is highly important for Higher Education Institutions. A strategy that contributes to this is Student Mobility, understood as a collaborative process between HEIs that impacts the teaching-learning process of students. The objective of this study is to identify the perception of the participating students of the Temuco UniverCiudad
Mobility Agreement, generated between four universities in the city of Temuco, Chile and Corparaucanía, during the academic period of 2021 and 2022. For this
reason, a descriptive design quantitative methodology with a cross-sectionalapproach was used. The sample consisted of 48 participants. The data were collected through a self-report questionnaire. Data analysis was performed using
descriptive statistical analysis. The students participating in the mobility program indicated that participating in this instance gave them extra formative value, allowing them to increase their knowledge of the subjects of their interest,
developing competences that will contribute to their performance in the world of work.
