“…En los últimos 10 años, el sistema universitario mundial ha venido experimentando una serie de cambios sustanciales como la reconfiguración del concepto global de formación universitaria, la manera de impartir contenidos, la forma como los estudiantes demuestran las competencias obtenidas y el modo como éstas son evaluadas, considerando procurar el logro en la formación de excelentes profesionales así como de ciudadanos con sentido cívico y ético [5]. En este sentido, la educación es una necesidad proclamada por la sociedad, que demanda mano de obra calificada que contribuye a la creación de una base social más estable e integrada de un país [6].…”

Peruvian National accreditation processes are becoming relevant, due to the government benefits and access that is providing for accredited entities. This research has been carried out within the framework of the Accreditation process for the Agroindustrial Engineering program of a Peruvian university. Within this process, the University to which the program belongs makes the decision to adopt the accreditation model of the "Institute for Quality and Accreditation of Computer, Engineering and Technology Programs-ICACIT" that has international standards called "accreditation criteria ". The Quality Management System (QMS) designed by the program is based on this criterias and affects the teaching-learning processes and teaching performance. The aim of this study is to evaluate the impact of the QMS based on the ICACIT accreditation criteria in the performance of teachers of Agroindustrial Engineering program in a Peruvian university, making a diagnosis of the teaching performance called "initial measurement ", in the 2018-I period, the established procedures of the QMS were subsequently implemented during the 2018-II and 2019-I semesters, then measuring the level of compliance with the designed processes, after that, the teaching performance in the 2019 I period was measured and the impact of the QMS was evaluated by performing statistical analyzes to determine differences between periods (ANVA) and the correlation between the QMS and the teaching performance (Simple Regression and correlation analysis). The indicators measured for the calculation of teacher performance were: Counseling and class orientation, Compliance with the teaching portfolio, evaluation by the principal, class supervision, satisfaction of the subject; finding that 4 of the 5 indicators show significant differences between periods, as well as the teaching performance indicator. Finally, a moderately strong correlation was obtained between the QMS and the teaching performance, finding a correlation coefficient equal to 0.6221.

“…The study explored students’ attitudes in three basic dimensions of moral personality: construction of the self, living together and socio-moral reflection [29]. Social sciences and engineering students were the primary participants in this study; thus, it was important to us to know and analyze these aspects in Health Sciences students in the different degree programs in which the members of our research group taught.…”

Ethical values in college education: a mixed-methods pilot study to assess health sciences students’ perceptions

et al. 2018

BackgroundSociety demands a university education grounded on ethical principles. Education in ethics values is responsibility of universities but will not be viable unless also adopted by directly responsible agents, the teachers who work with the students. For this reason, our primary research objective was to conduct an in-depth analysis of how Health Sciences students self-perceive the ethical dimension.MethodsA mixed research methodology with two phases, qualitative and quantitative, allowed us to address our research question from two complementary viewpoints. Conversational interviews were conducted in an intentional and purposive sample to identify a wide range of discursive representations. A questionnaire was designed based on previous studies and the topics of qualitative research. The response format for the questionnaire followed a Likert scale and modulators such as sex, age, degree and the score of a social desirability test were examined.ResultsAfter 24 conversational interviews, three main thematic blocks (coinciding with the three subscales of the questionnaire) were identified: “attitudes for harmony in human relations”, “construction of the self” and “rules and regulations”. A total of 246 students completed a questionnaire with 39 items. The total scores ranged from 93 to 152 points, with an average score of 122.72 ± 10.64 points. Responsibility, the basic rules of education and respect were perceived as the two most important values, whereas solidarity and social participation as the least important. Results showed a significant positive linear correlation between total score on the questionnaire and age and social desirability. Age was also a significant predictor for the total score and the subscale score “rules and regulations”. The students´ responses seemed to be conditioned by the degree of social desirability that they present.ConclusionsThe ad-hoc questionnaire captured the maintenance of high ethical values in our college undergraduate students, which may be directly related to enhanced social desirability. The scores obtained on the questionnaire were correlated with the students’ age, which may indicate that values might tend to acquire progressively more importance as students grow older. Further research is warranted to delve deeper on the determinants of professionalism and ethical decision-making in college students.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (10.1186/s12909-018-1396-7) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

“…Although lately research efforts that have focused their interest in changes implemented in higher education have proliferated, available data are insufficient and inconclusive to determine its real incidence in learning or teaching improvement (Watson, 2011) Ermenc & Vujisic -Živkovic, 2015. Some studies suggest encouraging results (Taylor andHooley, 2014) Villa et al, 2015;Buxarrais, Esteban & Mellen, 2015), while others have less promising findings (Jackson, 2012) A. Rutt, 2013;López Benedito & León, 2016).…”

En este artículo se analizan y contrastan las percepciones y valoraciones de estudiantes y profesorado sobre el desarrollo competencial de los futuros profesionales de Enfermería de una universidad privada de Puerto Rico. Se trata de una investigación descriptiva por encuesta en la que han participado 138 sujetos. Los resultados evidencian, entre otras cuestiones, que el alumnado tiende a mostrarse más satisfecho con los logros alcanzados que los docentes, aunque ambos coinciden en señalar que existen brechas importantes entre la formación adquirida por los futuros profesionales de Enfermería y aquella otra que sería deseable haber alcanzado para un buen desempeño profesional. Las competencias más adquiridas y mejor valoradas por ambos colectivos están vinculadas a los principios y valores éticos de la profesión, mientras que los niveles de logro más bajos están relacionados con el diseño y evaluación de sistemas de cuidado de la salud, el uso de los recursos de salud de la comunidad y la participación en organizaciones profesionales.
