GUEVARA VILLARROEL, Carmen Antonieta; CALDERA, Yudith  e  ORTEGA, María Teresa. Self-assesment as a framework for the academic consolidation of the master of education with specializations offered by Universidad de Oriente. Saber [online]. 2014, vol.26, n.4, pp.480-487. ISSN 1315-0162.

Self-assessment is part of a complex process of inquiry that allows improving the functioning of the units studied and therefore seeks the transformation of institutional work. Thus, the Research Group for the Evaluation of Graduate Programs at the Universidad de Oriente (EVALPOST), undertook a self-assessment process of the MA in Education with specializations, through an evaluative research, in order to obtain information about the current status of the program. The research path required the consideration of four moments of the evaluation model designed by Salcedo Galvis (1997): Initial diagnosis of the situation, selection of indicators, definitions and treatment outcomes. To accomplish these phases some adaptations were made to the questionnaire designed by the author, in order to contextualize and adjust it to the specifics of the program. Following the assumed model, indicators and management variables were selected. Diagnosis of current organizational and administrative academic program was carried out through the analysis of official documents. The overall score achieved was “219“, which places the Universidad de Oriente Master in Education Program, in the position of “GOOD”. Such an outcome highlights the prevalence of assets that contribute to a formative process, consolidated through a social, institutional, academic and professional credibility.
