| Abstract (English): | This study aimed to evaluate a program in which an outdoor training methodology was applied to develop self-efficacy and self-esteem. Specifically, the study aimed to determine the change in psychological variables, such as general self-efficacy and self-esteem, in a large sample of university students undertaking social sciences and participating in this program. A multivariate analysis was conducted on a group of 123 individuals to determine the composition of each variable and examine the moderating effect of the outdoor training program. Changes in the scores of these variables measured before and after implementing the program, in which different outdoor activities were carried out, are presented. The experiential training program positively affected general self-efficacy and self-esteem. Finally, the importance of this program, wherein an innovative outdoor training methodology has been applied to improve motivation, academic success, well-being, health, and adjustment of students in the university environment, is discussed.

| Abstract (Spanish): | El objetivo del trabajo fue evaluar un programa en el que se aplicó la metodología de outdoor training en el desarrollo de competencias socioemocionales y para la inserción en el ámbito laboral. Concretamente, esta investigación pretendió determinar el cambio producido en variables psicoeducativas como la autoeficacia general y la autoestima en una amplia muestra de estudiantes universitarios pertenecientes al área de Ciencias Sociales que participaron en dicho programa. A partir de una muestra de 123 individuos se realiza un análisis multivariante para ver la composición de cada variable psicoeductiva y ver cómo afecta el programa de outdoor training como efecto moderador. Se presentan los cambios que experimentaron en la puntuación de dichas variables antes y después de la aplicación del programa, en el que se desarrollaron distintas actividades al aire libre. Para finalizar, se discute la importancia de este tipo de programas en los que se aplica la innovadora metodología outdoor training para la mejora de la motivación, del éxito académico y del bienestar, salud y ajuste de los estudiantes en el ámbito universitario. Puede señalarse que se vienen llevando a cabo programas en distintos niveles educativos (Educación Primaria, Educación Secundaria y Universidad) en los que los resultados obtenidos avalan la necesidad de continuidad y coherencia de este tipo de programas que, entre otros aspectos, contribuyen a la adquisición y/o desarrollo de competencias sociales y emocionales.
