Abstract
MENDOZA LOZANO, Frederick Andrés and ORTEGON CIFUENTES, Mary Natalia. Assessment in higher education for high quality accreditation purpose through a systemic model with network theory. Rev. educ. sup [online]. 2019, vol.48, n.192, pp.1-21. Epub Jan 30, 2020. ISSN 0185-2760.
After recognizing some shortcomings identified in previous studies of the Colombian quality assurance system challenges, a method is proposed to weigh the characteristics of the high-quality accreditation model. This process is the basis of a complexity approach to quality, which gives new possibilities of interpretation to the entire exercise of self-assessment and continuous improvement. The methodology is an innovative application of network theory. After an application pilot, it is concluded that the weighting obtained is also a replicable management tool in other institutions or other accreditation models.
