    Acreditación universitaria
    (Universidad de Cuenca, 2015-07) Malo González, Claudio
    The University has been called “Headquarters of reason” considering that its purpose is to form students in high level through the development of this faculty. Those culminating a career obtain an academic degree which is a testament to their academic training; although in some cases this degree is sought for vanity. Human beings are built in time and one of the purposes of universities is to contribute to this process. In accordance with the way how they fulfill these functions, the universities achieve in communities different levels of prestige, this is subject to its seriousness and responsibility. To establish this level there are accreditation processes that depend on the qualities of its graduates and the successes in research. Universities must have internal mechanisms to improve the performance of their duties, but there are also external institutions that make it possible to find out these levels and to compare them. The external accreditation can be performed with different methods and visions, which gives rise to different points of view based on how, under what referents and who carries out these efforts.

    Algunos puntos sobre las IES. Perspectivas globales de la educación en el siglo XXI
    (Universidad de Cuenca, 2015-07) Garrido Quiroz, Rolando
    This article argues that in contemporary educational approaches there is no task and more urgent mission than to actively educate for peace. Education for peace, taken as fashionable in the late twentieth century, even in the mission of many universities and educational reforms, and forced into so-called cross sectional objectives, demonstrates that still today it does not reach priority status when thinking about this challenge in the context of new pedagogical designs and new curricular proposals, by the usual accreditation systems of education quality. That is, peace in our educational system is still far from being credible, much less from quality verification.

    La evaluación de carreras universitarias en el Ecuador ¿desde qué concepción de educación?
    (Universidad de Cuenca, 2015-07) Van Der Bijl, Martinus Johannes Carolus Maria
    This article resumes the most important results of a documentary and bibliographic study concerning the evaluation model for university careers, which is actually applied and directed by the Ecuadorian Council for Evaluation, Accreditation and Quality Assurance in Higher Education (CEAACES). The study, carried out between December 2013 and July 2014, aimed at clarifying the educational concept that underlies the evaluation model. Therefore we analyzed the discourse published in some of the organization´s documents, considering terms like “excellence”, “pertinence”, “learning outcomes” and “knowledge transfer”. Among others we conclude that the CEAACES evaluation model supposes an educational concept based on instrumental rationality and a university focused on the building of human capital.

    La evaluación, acreditación y categorización universitaria en el Ecuador
    (Universidad de Cuenca, 2015-07) Koppel Vintimilla, Eduardo
    This current article reveals information on the actions taken by the CEAACES, which were the guidelines for the Assessment and Accreditation process which took place in 2013. These processes have been compelled on a series of violations and breaches of constitutional, legal and regulatory nature. Finally, it also expresses my deep concern to demonstrate that CEAACES has played both roles, the judge and the jury ones, who, at the same time, are part of the universities to whom they evaluate. Moreover, they went through this process hiring consultants of purely private universities and setting up a sort of collusive pact with the private education system.

    Traditional university management does not fit to recent needs and role that the society has for public universities. The increasing access to higher education, new laws and rules, the qualitative features that this new order show establishes, invites us to think about a new model o management for Ecuadorian public university
