“…Making this case, Maldonado-Malonando & Cortes (2017) suggest that there is little evidence that GUR are influential in local policy formation, meaning new models of broad comparative assessment based on the unique contextual realities of Latin American higher education systems are essential. This call for more attuned ranking models has also been advocated as a means of addressing persistent social demands in the region for a legitimate comparison of university quality (Final Declaration, 2012;Guaglianone, 2018;Reyes, 2016).…”

Global university rankings (GUR) have become increasingly influential as a proxy measure of higher education quality. The more recent development of regionalised forms of rankings has increased their global reach, drawing a greatly expanded range of institutions into their orbit. As a result, regionalised GUR have developed an increasing potential power to shape social perceptions, institutional actions, and everyday academic practices. In this paper, the perceived impact of regionalised forms of GUR is analysed from the perspective of Latin American higher education. Based on a critical meta-synthesis framed by a glonacal heuristic (Marginson and Rhoades, Higher Education 43:281–309, 2002), the tensions arising around the application of regionalised forms of global rankings are mapped. Specifically, the impact of rankings on conceptions of the mission of universities is foregrounded. The meta-synthesis identifies three primary tensions around the regional application of GUR in Latin American contexts: how conceptions of regional higher education quality are most effectively developed, how the local university is imagined under the weight of global expectations, and the relativised value of local agency in assessing quality outcomes. The findings suggest that GUR have created strong fissures in Latin American higher education regarding the missions of institutions, particularly in confronting the powerful hegemonies of the epistemologies of the Global North imposing themselves on Latin American higher education. The paper concludes that the stratification and social anxiety caused by the regional applications of GUR may not be necessarily productive in encouraging regional institutional diversity or in enhancing the local relevance of higher education.

El presente artículo es producto de una revisión bibliográfica, cuyo objetivo consistió en Mostrar la calidad de las universidades nicaragüenses según su posicionamiento en los principales rankings universitarios que se encargan de evaluar la calidad de las universidades, para conocer la realidad de las Instituciones de educación superior de Nicaragua. Se aplico el método de análisis, con un enfoque cualitativo, diseño no experimental, bajo un nivel documental-bibliográfico transversal. Tras la revisión documental se observó que: según las clasificaciones emitidas por el World Universities Rankings (QS), Webometrics y Scimago Institutions Rankings (SIR), no todas las instituciones de educación superior nicaragüenses son evaluadas por estos sistemas de medición, así como, que las instituciones evaluadas se posicionan en los últimos puestos. En el presente capitulo se abordará de manera general. Se concluye que existe una debilidad en la calidad de las instituciones de educación superior nicaragüenses, debido a su posicionamiento en los rankings que evalúan la calidad de estas, también, se concluye que la investigación es un factor determinante en la evaluación de la calidad del sistema educativo nicaragüense.
