Abstract
VALDES ROJAS, Martha Beatriz; PEREZ GONZALEZ, Andel; HERNANDEZ MAYEA, Tania and ALFONSO NAZCO, Marta. Methodological actions for self-assessment of academic postgraduate programs. EDUMECENTRO [online]. 2024, vol.16 Epub May 30, 2024. ISSN 2077-2874.
Background:
self-evaluation is a transcendental stage in quality management in university institutions; as a process, it is organized and guided by its members in accordance with a set of performance standards, for continuous improvement and transformation.
Objective:
design methodological actions for the conception and development of the self-evaluation process of academic postgraduate programs at Sancti Spíritus University.
Methods:
the research was carried out at “José Marti Pérez” University of Sancti Spíritus from 2021 to 2023. A mixed approach methodology was used that allowed the use of theoretical methods: historical-logical, analytical-synthetic and inductive-deductive; and empirical ones: document analysis, participant observation and in-depth interview; and mathematical-statistical methods for processing the information obtained.
Results:
the contrast of the results showed that there are limitations in the conception and development of the academic postgraduate self-assessment; It is not always assumed as a systematic, systemic, scientific and participatory process; Therefore, methodological actions were developed that would lead to continuous improvement and quality certification.
Conclusions:
the application of the methodological actions, designed at each stage, allowed us to verify in practice their validity for the development of the self-assessment process. They facilitated the quality certification of two evaluated master's programs, which obtained the highest rank of Excellence.
