Abstract: Choosing a university career is a fundamental decision in the life of anyone who has the possibility to do so. So, choosing a university does not result in any of the cases on purpose, it involves an interaction of factors, expectations, motivations that the person has to achieve a goal. In the particular case, for the State Distance University, the identification of intrinsic and extrinsic motivations, as motivating agents, in the choice of its offer allows decision-makers to organize actions that lead to improvement, not only of the training offer, but rather the quality of the educational service that is provided, for this reason the study was proposed as an objective to analyze the motivations that led the undergraduate students of the State University at a Distance (UNED) in the selection of this institution for their university studies during the years 2020 and 2021. |
