XII. LA POLÍTICA PÚBLICA DE EVALUACIÓN DE LA CALIDAD EN EDUCACIÓN SUPERIOR, A PARTIR DE LA TASA DE TITULACIÓN: ¿MÁS OPCIONES, MENOS REQUISITOS?

Abstract

One of the evaluation indicators in the quality, accreditation, and re-accreditation of
educational programs in higher education, is related to the efficiency rate in graduation of its
graduates. Higher Education Institutions (IES), to advance positively, both in the evaluation
processes of external organizations, have modified and expanded the degree options, noting
that, in most cases, there is a tendency to lax and make the criteria for obtaining graduate
certification more flexible; passing the thesis and research processes to an unattractive
alternative for the student, who opt for faster options and less academic demand. The present
contribution proposed as an objective, to analyze the behavior of the degree options,
comparing the modalities that are sampled in 42 universities in Mexico, and from a case
study, to raise the findings and reflections. Methodologically, it is an exploratory and
descriptive research that analyzes the data of the degree options at the undergraduate level,
finding as a finding that there is a relativization of the requirements for obtaining the
professional title, including up to the zero option, that is, only to fulfill The credits of the
educational program, in preliminary conclusive lines it is noted that the degree has been
unrelated to the research process, support and defense of the thesis report, which negatively
affect the integral training process.
