Abstract:
The learning methodologies (i.e., participative), the perceived institutional support and the learning performance linked to the use of information and communication technologies (ICT) are considered as the
background to student satisfaction and the development of generic and specific skills for professional results after graduating. In particular, the main objective of this paper is to research about students` perceptions according to participative learning methodologies, the use of ICT and the institutional support in the University context. This study, firstly, provides an analysis of the expectations of current undergraduate students in the business and management area. Secondly, it analyzes a causal model related to the use of participative teaching methodologies, perceived institutional support, and the use of ICT in the teachinglearning process, as determinants of student satisfaction and skills development in the context of the European Higher Education Area (EHEA). Previous
analysis about expectations and the theoretical model and the hypotheses discussed above are validated through a non-probabilistic sampling and self-selection. The data are particularly collected from a sample of questionnaires filled out by second course undergraduate students (University of Seville, Spain).
