(UNTIL 2013 INSTITUTIONAL EVALUATION OFFICE)
Develop, through evaluation, a culture of quality understood as continuous improvement.
Generate information for decision-making
Describe the current situation showing the
Consistency or inconsistency between what was planned and what was actually achieved. Detect discrepancies or unmet needs, both within the university and in its environment or context of reference. This involves data collection and statistical processing (after determining the area to be evaluated—by the university itself or by MCE or CONEAU—the instruments and procedures), and preparing the report, with reference to the evaluation criteria derived from the quality standards.
Predicting outcomes based on diagnostic knowledge. This requires a certain level of evaluative research.
It consists of assisting, based on the diagnosis, in the development and implementation of efficient action plans (optimum time with available resources) that tend to reduce the discrepancies detected. It involves prior work to clarify opportunities for improvement and limitations (SWOT analysis).
Monitoring processes to guide their development toward meeting and aligning with the objectives set by management.
Administration of the university statistical information system and the construction of indicators.
Applied to Students, Graduates, Professors, Administrators and Employers.
Comparison of the quality declared in institutional documents with the perceived and suggested quality in satisfaction surveys administered to members of the academic community: students, graduates, faculty, non-faculty, and business and employer representatives.
