Abstract

The study analyzed three attitudinal values: Affective, cognitive, and behavioral measured by using a questionnaire and focus groups. The sample consisted of 56 participants studying bachelor’s degree programs at the University of Cauca in Colombia. Results indicated that most of the students responded positively towards this technique.
