This study examines the extent to which institutions publicly and proactively disclose relevant information regarding assessme… Show more

“…To strengthen the group and institutional teaching exercise through a shared and disclosed strategy, it is proposed to advance the existence of devices that recognize the work of teachers who act as supervisors and mediating agents in front of their students-seeking the installation of dynamic measurement and evaluation processes with instruments that standardize the approach to the student, monitoring, and feedback (Lane & Smith, 2021;McGowan, 2018;Sumarni et al, 2018).…”

“…The educational system in our country has a strong emphasis on cognitive development. This aspect impacts a predominant culture that makes opportunities to improve the educational systems invisible (García-Blanco & Cárdenas-Sempértegui, 2018; Leihy & Salazar, 2017;McGowan, 2018). It is also directly detrimental to comprehensive academic-professional training that seeks human development throughout life, emphasizing cognitive and emotional-affective processes (Bronfenbrenner & Morris, 2007;.…”

“…The "transparency" line examines the demands of stakeholders on HEIs in relation to the results and impacts of HE. In consequence, transparency concerning the activities of universities has become a primary objective of management in HE [116]. Finally, the "environmental management" line refers to management and the active role of the organization related to sustainable development, that is, the triple bottom line approach [117] and the triple helix model university [118].…”

“…Thus, sensemaking is a relevant framework for examining assessment; as a theory it focuses on how meaning is constructed through selfreferential processing and social interactions, and provides an explanation for how accumulated data can be pieced together for a new narrative (Weick, 1995). Additionally, the emphasis of sensemaking on contextualizing data is important given that most institutions do not lack empirical data, but do struggle to evaluate, utilize, and communicate assessment results (Blaich & Wise, 2018;Bresciani, 2012;McGowan, 2019).…”

“…Additionally, the collaborative process that many academic departments use to make sense of assessment data is highly constructionist in nature, especially given that most institutions do not lack empirical data, but struggle to understand results, make assessment meaningful, and communicate action plans (Blaich & Wise, 2018;Bresciani, 2012;McGowan, 2019). In the social sciences, the term "social constructionism" is more common, and though tending to place more emphasis on subjective identity construction and symbolic interactionism, the theory does not adopt a relativist position toward external reality and holds that reality is negotiated through language and within social context (Burr, 2015).…”
