Abstract
We present an analysis regarding Information and communication technologies (TIC) and their relation with indicators of academic results in bachelor’s degree programs offered in state public universities in Mexico. This work is non experimental, cross-sectional, and correlational. The goal is to determine significant relations between variables: educational programs that incorporate telematics in their programs and courses of study, qualifications, withholding rates, completion rates, professional integration, along with graduates and employers satisfaction. The data is formed by 58 universities that presented their Program of Quality Strengthening in Education Institutions (PROFOCIE) projects before Ministry of Public Education (SEP) in 2015; and were processed in the statistic package SPSS, obtaining correlation coefficients. These results showed significant relation to withholding rates and student and graduates satisfaction, even though a significant relation wasn’t found in degree indicators, completion rates, and professional integration.
Highlights
The improvement of education quality in Higher Education Institutions in Mexico, the public state universities—in the last federal administrations and the one in motion, has been promoted by public policies promoting the acquisition of extraordinary resources for the enhancement of its performance, competing to gain them
This research is set out from the question “What is the relation of the incorporation of information and communication technologies in the academic results of State Public Universities in Mexico?” We establish the objective of describing significant relations of such indicators and their influence in the quality of education programs of bachelor’s degrees offered
The variables of telematics incorporation of the environment were considered, along with the sustainable development in research programs and the indicators related to withholding rates, professional integration, completion rates, graduation rates, and indicators of graduates and employers satisfaction, as well as the opinion of society regarding the results of the higher education institution
Summary
The improvement of education quality in Higher Education Institutions in Mexico, the public state universities—in the last federal administrations and the one in motion, has been promoted by public policies promoting the acquisition of extraordinary resources for the enhancement of its performance, competing to gain them. This research is set out from the question “What is the relation of the incorporation of information and communication technologies in the academic results of State Public Universities in Mexico?” We establish the objective of describing significant relations of such indicators and their influence in the quality of education programs of bachelor’s degrees offered. This is based on the assumption that the incorporation of environment telematics and the development of bachelor’s degree programs of these institutions of higher education. It is the fusion of telecommunications and computer science, and it studies the use of telecommunications to enrich the possibilities of computer science, meaning, the use of long distance communication media for computer connections (Pérez & Gardey, 2014)
