Indicadores para evaluar la pertinencia social en la oferta académica de programas

The research is framed within the quantitative approach and mode of Feasible Project was held at the Francisco de Paula Santander, Northern Department of Santander (Colombia) University with populations of entrepreneurs, high school students, alumni and representatives of clusters different sectors of the region. The fundamental objective of the research is to design a proposed model to evaluate the social relevance in academic programs offered at the Francisco de Paula Santander (UFPS) University. Data collection was conducted through surveys, semi-structured interviews, panel, mathematician SWOT, using six sigma. The selection of indicators includes indices linking systems at national and international levels, and hierarchical multivariate analysis, principal components. The creation of the model followed different phases as a result of information analysis and includes diagnostics, measurement, analysis, improvement, monitoring and control, also contains models to analyze population projections to support decision-making. For the analysis and interpretation of information diagramming tools, capability studies, multivariate analyzes were used, analysis was carried out following model Rash through Item response theory, design of experiments and using triangulation as an element involved in obtaining multiple views of the research problem. The proposed model expected to sustain the role and social mission of the UFPS to offer knowledge producing, sharing and socializing in the innovation system in the formation of human capital for society and companies in the region. The model was validated through structural analysis.
