📋 Tender Overview
The workshop allowed to deepen the key dimensions of the model and reinforce technical capacities for future external evaluations.Strengthening the educational quality in the country was the main objective of the first workshop with certified evaluators to evaluate institutes and programs of higher education studies, organized by the Council of Evaluation, Accreditation and Certification of the Quality of Non -University Education (Coneaces), Operating Body of the Sineace and in which the new quality model for institutional accreditation for institutes and schools of higher education technological education was presented.
This meeting was aimed at evaluators certified by the Coneace Evaluation and Accreditation Directorate. It was held on Friday, May 30, at the facilities of the SISE Higher Education Institute, as part of a strategy that seeks to improve quality assurance processes at this educational level.
During the day, the participants reviewed the three fundamental dimensions of the model: institutional management, training results and linking with the environment. These lines of analysis respond to the guidelines established in the National Policy of Higher Education and Productive Technician (PNESTP) and value the tangible effects of educational institutions in their communities.
The Coneace Evaluation and Accreditation Director, Dr. Veronica Alvarado, stressed the importance of external evaluation for accreditation as an opportunity to strengthen capabilities and promote continuous improvement in the evaluator. Working with a new institutional accreditation model allows external evaluators to strengthen their critical and technical analysis competences, he said.
In that sense, work tables were held to analyze the standards of the model, exchange field experiences and reflect on the current conditions of the external evaluation process. These dynamics facilitated a technical dialogue that allowed to refine the evaluation approach based on the new model guidelines.
For his part, one of the participants, Doris Gonzales, director of the Public Technological Institute Chincha, said that the workshop gave him key tools to strengthen his skills and technical criteria in the evaluation processes, by allowing him to know in depth the standards and approaches of the new institutional accreditation model.
In this way, Coneaces promotes the strengthening of the capacities of the evaluators that will be part of an external evaluation commission for accreditation processes.
Finally, the Directorate of Evaluation and Accreditation of this important operating body of the Sineace, announced that the second workshop with certified evaluators will be held on June 27, at the same headquarters, located in Santa Beatriz. This activity is part of a broader technical agenda aimed at strengthening the accreditation system and the fulfillment of the objectives set in the Social Pact for Education.
