5. Discussion of results and conclusions

The Student Social Responsibility module delivered at the UFV seems to have a positive general impact on the students. The results show significant differences in the aggregated dimension (general) made up of students' commitment to others and their surroundings, personal discovery of values, training in social responsibility and approaching professional activity from a position of social commitment. This demonstrates its impact on students' capacity for commitment and on their social responsibility after the experience of taking the module. It also seems to be clear that this impact differs between courses.

The analysis by dimensions indicates that each of the dimensions, separately, has an impact on the students. The students' commitment, discovery of values, training in social responsibility and approaching professional activity from a position of social responsibility are reinforced after taking the module. Also, in general terms, their commitment and social responsibility improve after taking the module. There is a difference in impact after taking the module depending on the course, except in personal discovery of values where no significant differences were found in the comparison between the pretest and posttest on the different courses.

The impact by course of the module shows that the results do differ depending on the course.

The only course where taking the SREU module does not appear to have an impact is BM + Law (Excellens). In the Journalism, Law and SPPA courses, taking the module has a positive impact on students' commitment to others and their surroundings, values, social responsibility, professional approach and overall social commitment.

Taking the module appears to have a positive impact in virtually all of the courses (except BM and BM + Law) in students' commitment to others and their surroundings. Nonetheless, the professional approach from a position of social commitment after taking the module only seems to be positively affected in Biotechnology, SPPA, Law, Education and Marketing.

In summary, the results indicate that taking the social responsibility module has a significant impact on students from the UFV in general and by dimensions and courses but that this impact differs by course.
