Resumen
Introduction. This article shows the results of the
research work “Newcomer students in the university
scenario”. Objective. To have a comprehensive approach
to the situation of “being and becoming a university
student” experienced by first year physiotherapy
students at the CES University, in Medellín, Colombia.
Materials and methods. This is a qualitative study
made within a hermeneutical focus conceptually based
on contributions of Arendt´s politic philosophy, Larrosa
and Skliar´s philosophy of experiences, the otherness
perspective with Mèlich and Levinas and Giroux´s
critical pedagogy. As methodological strategies group
interviews, focus groups and experience narrations by
the youngsters were used. Results. The analysis was
made under a focus on the institutional context and the
subject being formed as a discussion base, classifying
the first one into two categories: The notion of the
university scenario and the university culture. In the
second, the categories were the processing of tensions
between change and permanence and the interaction
ways with the university´s ethos, with its respective
trends. Conclusions. A clear difference between the
student´s retention and permanence in the university
was found. This permanence can be favored by
establishing a warm and hospitable induction process,
improving communication strategies, promoting their
development and creating conditions to establish
academic and social networks.
