Symposium Summary
Introduction: The present symposium aims to address some of challenges which are presented to students, professors and university institutions in an increasingly changing educational context in which emerge new needs, such as the prevention of university drop-outs; the demands for autonomy and self-regulation imposed by the already consolidated virtual learning environments; the proliferation of new instructional methodologies such as the inverted class; or the need to address traditionally less attended in the classroom, such as emotional regulation of teachers and students. Methods: four empirical studies are presented whose participants were university or post-university samples that, through different methodological approaches, try to shed light on these issues. Results: each of the studies obtains results that do not always confirm the initial hypotheses but contribute to broadening the debate and scientific evidence on each of the topics addressed. Discussion: in each of the four communications, results obtained are discussed and some conclusions and implications for educational practice are drawn.
