Abstract

ResumenResumenEl presente artículo busca evaluar la pertinencia de un programa académico desde la perspectiva de los graduados a partir de dos modelos. El primer modelo está constituido por dos factores o variables latentes: i) la percepción de los graduados acerca de la pertinencia individual de su formación (en los ámbitos: personal, laboral y de desarrollo profesional) y ii) la percepción de los graduados acerca de la pertinencia social de su formación. El segundo modelo está constituido, igualmente, por dos factores o variables latentes concernientes a las competencias de los graduados: i) la percepción de su nivel de competencias instrumentales y ii) la percepción de su nivel de competencias sistémicas. La construcción de estos modelos se llevó a cabo en dos fases: en primer lugar, se realizó un análisis factorial exploratorio y en segundo lugar, se realizó un análisis factorial confirmatorio. Los resultados encontrados dan cuenta de la pertinencia del programa. AbstractThis article proposes two models to evaluate the pertinence of an academic program from the alumni´s perspectives. The first model is constructed by two factors or latent variables: i) alumni´s perception regarding the individual pertinence of the received education (that is, the perception of pertinence in personal, work and professional development levels) and ii) alumni´s perception regarding the social pertinence of the received education. Similarly, the second model is built by two factors or latent variables regarding alumni´s competencies: i) the perception of their level of instrumental competencies and ii) the perception of their level of systemic competencies. The construction of these models was carried out in two phases: fi rst an exploratory factor analysis, which was followed by a confi rmatory factor analysis. Results demonstrate the pertinence of the program.
