“…Regarding the Internal Quality Unit relevance for accreditation, the quality assurance unit and its functions performed within the university fulfill a central role in the perception of accreditation and quality inside the institution (Campo Herrera, 2018;Scharager, 2017;Scharager & Rodríguez Anaiz, 2019;Venables & Van Gastel, 2014). This is due to, on one hand, to the role it plays leading accreditation processes of programs and the institution, and, on the other hand, to the fact that the quality processes are still a way of responding to external standards, rather than a full incorporation of quality culture in each HEI level (CIPER-CHILE, 2012;De Vincenzi, 2013;González-Bravo et al, 2019;Pedraja-Rejas & Rodríguez-Ponce, 2015;Proyecto Alpha, 2011).…”

“…In universities with less consolidated collegiate bodies, these units centralize more power, although in general they are well evaluated (Scharager, 2017). In fact, they have significant experience in different areas of higher education (Dooner, Armanet, Busco, d'Alencon, & Salomone, 2016;Lemaitre et al, 2012;Scharager, 2017;Scharager & Rodríguez Anaiz, 2019), and have become highly relevant for the accreditation and accountability of HEIs, being experts in different areas and transferring good practices, triggering reflection and institutional learning (Scharager, 2017;Venables & Van Gastel, 2014). In the words of Campo Herrera (2018), they go slightly beyond their official role, providing "support and technical advice to Schools and Programs in areas related to self-assessment and curricular assessment processes, as well as teacher updating, skill assessment, virtual support for learning and its methodology, accreditation, among others" (p. 143).…”

“…Nuevos trabajos han abordado la profesionalización, las identidades profesionales y los conceptos laborales en las áreas de aseguramiento de la calidad (Scharager, 2017;Scharager y Rodríguez, 2019) y desarrollo de carrera (Orellana, 2020). No obstante, no existen estudios específicos sobre la burocratización universitaria.…”

“…Finalmente, en otro ámbito, esta investigación es un acotado, pero significativo paso hacia lo descrito por Scharager y Rodríguez Anaiz (2019): la construcción de un espacio común de trabajo colaborativo, un tercer espacio equilibrado entre la participación académica y administrativa (Scharager y Rodríguez Anaiz, 2019).…”
