TORRES ESCOBAR, Germán Andrés  e  BALLESTEROS SANCHEZ, María Helena. Strengthening university academic commitment in Colombia: the need to train research and teaching assistants. sophia [online]. 2019, vol.15, n.2, pp.18-27. ISSN 1794-8932.  https://doi.org/10.18634/sophiaj.15v.2i.950.

The studies that have been carried out on student participation mostly refer to an individual participation in which emphasis is placed on the academic achievement and individual aspects of the student. However, the importance of promoting an institutional academic commitment in which the student contributes to the construction of the university, either by participating in research or pedagogical activities, is not emphasized in these studies. From this perspective, universities in Colombia should promote institutional academic commitment, through academic and economic incentives for students who support teachers in the implementation of research projects, and in activities that support teaching. In this way, students are encouraged to be part of the university community, and to go beyond attending classes.
