This book was released on 2012-10 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Desde una perspectiva general, la acreditación de programas educativos representa un mecanismo para orientar las tareas educativas de la formación profesional, con prácticas y resultados que se reconocen desde un horizonte nacional e internacional, convirtiéndose en la estrategia que han asumido las universidades e instituciones de educación superior, para impulsar el mejoramiento permanente y el logro de calidad educativa. Algunas preguntas que orientan el debate sobre el tema de la acreditación de programas educativos son, entre otras: ¿qué beneficios estructurales han tenido los procesos de acreditación de programas educativos en el sistema de educación superior en América Latina y España?, ¿cuáles son los cambios de carácter académico que en los últimos 15 años se han generado en el sistema de educación superior, en comparación con los sistemas de países con los que tenemos acuerdos bilaterales?, ¿los indicadores y estándares de calidad reportados por el Consejo para la Acreditación de la Educación Superior, qué significado tienen en el contexto nacional e internacional?, ¿cuál es la visión de la acreditación y certificación de la educación superior en España y América Latina? En esta obra de dos volúmenes se rescatan algunas respuestas a las interrogantes planteadas, mediante la recuperación de experiencias institucionales y productos de investigación sobre el tema. Finalmente, se caracterizan y explican las tensiones, desencuentros, conflictos y resultados de la acreditación de la educación superior y de la gestión de la calidad de los programas educativos en la Región Iberoamericana.

This book was released on 2013-08 with total page 131 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: EVALUACIÓN INSTITUCIONAL BASADA EN LOS SISTEMAS SUAVES Los niveles de desarrollo y crecimiento de una nación, están sustentados en gran medida por la calidad de su educación. Sin educación de calidad, un país no podrá progresar de manera sustantiva y sostenida. Así, la educación es reconocida como palanca de desarrollo, como factor de innovación, como ventaja estratégica para la producción y como medio insustituible para asegurar la identidad nacional. Por consiguiente, para que un país se desempeñe satisfactoriamente en un mundo globalizado requiere estar preparado, y para ello, la calidad en la educación juega un rol determinante. De esta manera, calidad educativa significa excelencia. Así, el tema de la evaluación y acreditación de la educación es un factor relevante que ha propiciado que las instituciones educativas establezcan estrategias para mejorar la calidad educativa de sus programas, lo cual ha conducido a una gran cantidad de cambios en los modelos educativos, en la formación docente y en los recursos empleados a fin de obtener mejores resultados. Con base en lo anterior, surge el presente libro que tiene como propósito ofrecer los fundamentos de la evaluación institucional basada en la perspectiva de los sistemas suaves como una alternativa metodológica que permita analizar los diversos ámbitos de una organización educativa a partir de los criterios de eficacia, eficiencia, pertinencia, trascendencia y equidad. Específicamente aborda temas relevantes como la calidad y evaluación de los programas educativos; la teoría general de sistemas aplicada al ámbito de la educación; los sistemas suaves en el ámbito de la evaluación educativa así como estudios de caso a nivel licenciatura y posgrado

Download or read book Global Promise Quality Assurance and Accountability in Professional Psychology written by Judy Hall and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2008-04-23 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Psychology has become a global profession. Professionals are now readily able to practice in geographic areas far from where they were trained. In practice, psychology has a social contract with the public to promote human and societal welfare, all the while responsible for the constant upkeep of systems that promote, maintain, and demand quality from health care professionals. In Global Promise: Quality Assurance and Accountability in Professional Psychology, editors Judy E. Hall and Elizabeth M. Altmaier examine the tools needed for evaluating the crucial components of quality assurance- education, training, accreditation and designation, licensing and credentialing, ethics, mobility, and continuing professional development- from an international perspective, with a specific focus on practices in the United States, Canada, the European Union, Latin America, Australia, and The Netherlands and vignettes on the United Kingdom, China and South Africa. An international team of contributors synthesizes the progress made in implementing quality assurance mechanisms across the globe and offers diverse perspectives as to how the wider international community can promote quality and mobility. With an eye toward the future of psychology as well as on the systems that will support it, Global Promise is required reading for universities, regulatory bodies, professional associations, professionals and students.
Download or read book The Health Workforce in Latin America and the Caribbean written by Carmen Carpio and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2015-06-25 with total page 133 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report provides a status update on the human resources for health (HRH) sub-system in six Latin American and Caribbean countries: Colombia, Costa Rica, Jamaica, Panama, Peru, and Uruguay. The report structures its discussion around how the health workforce is financed, organized, managed, regulated, and performing. In the area of financing, the study presents the variety of contracting mechanisms, salary levels, and financial incentives offered across the countries and their role in being able to attract and retain health workers. On the organization of the HRH sub-system, the report looks at the skill-mix, training, and distribution of health care workers concluding that although the countries have made progress towards achieving key HRH targets and in making education more accessible, there continues to be limited absorption capacity for graduates, the Primary Health Care focus of training programs needs to be strengthened, and strategies to encourage rural service have not been able to fully address the gap in the distribution of health workers. In reviewing management strategies for HRH, the report presents how all countries have adopted the WHO Global Code of Practice on the International Recruitment of Health Personnel to recognize foreign-trained professionals to help address shortages and fill gaps of health worker presence in rural, remote areas. However, the countries continue to struggle with putting self-sufficiency policies in place to meet HRH needs such as the lack of promotion plans, limited non-monetary incentives, and the shortage of personnel for recruitment and eventual placement. In the area of regulation, the report presents the countries' efforts to reduce precarious employment and introduce HRH safety policies and legislation to regulate disputes and negotiations. On performance, the report found mixed results in the areas of access/availability to health workers and quality of care, factors discouraging dual practice, and unjustified absenteeism of health workers.
