    Origen y características del sistema de aseguramiento de la calidad de la educación superior chileno
    (2014-08-01) Geoffroy Pitta, Esteban
    This article presents the problem that motivated the creation of the national system of quality assurance in Chilean higher education, which came to life in the legislation 20.129. The identified problem refers to the deregulation of the higher education system produced in the 1990s, characterized by its massification as well as the processes of institutional autonomy and an uncontrolled expansion. This is followed by a discussion of the public policy, describing the institutions that carry out this system (the National Accreditation Commission, the National Council of Education, and the Information Service of Higher Education) and the processes that they execute (licensing, accreditation and public information).

    Calidad en Educación Superior y Orientación: Eficacia de un Seminario de Gestión Personal de la Carrera para Pre Graduados
    (2014-08-01) Céu Taveira, María do; Nazaré Loureiro, María de
    Career services and interventions based on research and empirical evidence are progressively considered mechanisms for quality assurance in higher education. We present a study on the effectiveness of a career self-management seminar designed for help undergraduates prepare for next life career changes and goal attainment. Four hundred and twenty eight students with an age mean of 22 years old (n=208 experimental group; n=220 control group) attending university and polytechnic higher institutions in the northwestern Portugal, were assessed by the Career Exploration Survey, the Career Development Inventory and My Vocational Situation according to a pretest and posttest design. The Seminar is research based and comprises nine weekly small group sessions of 120 minutes each which facilitate students' career planning, in-depth exploration, goal implementation and feedback competences. Results indicate significant differences between experimental and control groups, with increase in most of the career dimensions, among the experimental group. The career seminar produced a medium mean effect size of .53. The intervention positively affected undergraduates' career self-management processual behaviors.

    La función tutorial del profesorado: estudio evaluativo en tres universidades federales brasileñas
    (2014-08-01) Arza Arza, Neves; Salvador González, Xabier de; Mascarenhas, Suely
    In this article the results of an  investigation in Amazonas Federal University (UFAM), Rondonia Federal University (UNIR) and Grande Dourados Federal University are presented. Its objective was  to typify the guidance  that students receive  from  their teachers . The research is based on a sample of  1213 students. A kind of  Lickert´s scale was used to collect information. The results demonstrate  that teaching guidance role is linked to the accompaniment in  the learning process. Personal and professional  guidance have  a minor presence. The differences perceived  are linked to an academic performance  indicator. Thus, failing subjects is  connected both  with the scientific scope of the degrees andthe support of  families . The conclusions of the research show the need to to promote the importance of tutorials not only on legal advice  but also  on organizational facets and resources required to its development.
