Abstract

The challenges facing society have motivated the development of strategies aimed at meeting needs from different perspectives and areas of action. In this sense, social responsibility in education is an innovative model based on consensus, which aligns the expectations and needs of educational actors. In relation to this study, the objective is to analyze the perception of university students in emerging Latin American countries. An exploratory factor analysis is applied, descriptive statistics are determined, and different statistics are explored according to the country category. Statistical differences are found in all the variables that constitute the model. Finally, it is essential that higher education institutions (HEIs) implement policies, strategies, and actions of social responsibility that are contextualized in alignment with the needs of each group that makes up the educational ecosystem. It is also recommended to expand the sample and include all the interest groups that make up each of the universities.
