The present article consists of a systematic review aimed at knowing the
implementation process of the Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB) in university
students of Education. In order to achieve this objective, we start from an introduction
in which, after a review of the literature, we describe the state of the art on the
application of the TPB. Regarding the method, search, selection and data extraction
strategies were applied, the results of which were analysed with the Atlas.ti v.9
programme. The results show TPB instruments that reveal university students’
attitudes in favour of certain behaviours towards inclusion, entrepreneurship,
learning or the practice of physical exercise. It is concluded that there is a good
match between the dimensions of the TPB and the predictive capacity of behavioural
intention in university students.
