AVENDANO-CASTRO, William Rodrigo; GOMEZ-GOYENECHE, Héctor Fernando  and  TRIANA-OROBAJO, Anny Julieth. Impact of the Armed Conflict on the Life of University Students in Colombia. educ.educ. [online]. 2019, vol.22, n.2, pp.256-273. ISSN 0123-1294.  https://doi.org/10.5294/edu.2019.22.2.5.

The aim of the article is to recognize the impact of Colombian internal armed conflict on the decisions of university students in relation to their curricular, research or extramural activities. The research is based on the analytical empirical paradigm with a quantitative approach and a non-experimental, cross-sectional, descriptive design. A questionnaire was designed using previous interviews with personnel from university welfare departments of the two selected universities and administered to a purposive sample of 684 students. Although the conflict affects some decisions of university students on their academic activities or research projects, it is not significantly present in the thought and academic activities of universities.

Keywords : Armed conflicts; Colombian armed conflict; university education; higher education; curriculum; university research; Colombia.
