El sistema de aseguramiento de la calidad de la educación superior chilena: la degradación organizacional de la institución educativa

Abstract

The present work is part of the debate on the development of the Chilean higher education quality assurance system, focusing on its critical points and the horizon of possibilities the system presents more than a decade after its inception. From a bibliographical discussion of the subject, a minimal conceptual formalization of the paradoxes that the quality assurance system involves is attempted. These, in its own terms, can be formulated as follows: "strengthening" the organizational dimension of the educational institution has "weakened" its instituting dimension to a functional degradation.
