Abstract Introduction: the lack of solidity of educational research (ER) in a high percentage the loss of integrity in the methodology has been reported. The objective of the present study was to determine the quality of the ERs of the postgraduate surgery in a Public University of Ecuador. With the hypothesis that the acceptable theses are equal to 70%.Methods: the present study reviewed the thesis of surgery at the University of Cuenca, from the period January-2010 to November-2019. The probabilistic sample selection was 48 cases. A 51-question EI quality test was used. The values ​​of each variable were homologated as a percentage. A single sample T-test was performed, bivariate correlations using the Spearman coefficient. Significant values ​​were R> 0.5 and P <0.01. The hypothesis test was performed with Chi square.Results: of 48 randomized theses, the lowest average was in the “Hypothesis” sections (41.6% [35.3-47.8]) and the highest in the “Results” sections (93.5% [91.4-95.7]). The relevance was 97.9% (93.7-102.1). 35 theses (72.9%) were rated as "Acceptable". The Hypothesis and References sections were rated as “Not acceptable” in 70.8% and 79.2%. The "results" section obtained the rating of "Excellent" in 93.8%. The hypothesis was accepted, the group has an acceptable quality equal to 70% ”, Chi2 = 0.2208, P = 0.64.Conclusion: the quality of educational research is equal to the 70% raised in the hypothesis, which highlights a minimum sufficiency rating for the educational research studied in this work.

Identification of criteria for academic research performance. At South African universities, the achievement of objectives is usually measured in terms of so-called "process criteria" (e.g. pass rates), instead of performance criteria which reflect the quality of academic personnel. Stimulated by the need to identify valid indices of research performance, as a component of academic performance, this study investigated the dimensionality of several criteria, identified from empirical and literature studies. It was found that various valid criteria could be represented by six constructs, viz.: the stature of the researcher as scientist; scientific contributions; enhancement of own profession; community development; participation in research projects; and giving advice to persons or institutions outside the university. Opsomming By Suid-Afrikaanse universiteite word doelwitbereiking gewoonlik aan die hand van sogenaamde "prosesmaat-stawwe" (bv. slaagsyfers) in plaas van prestasiemaatstawwe wat die gehalte van akademiese personeel weerspieel, gemeet. Na aanleiding van 'n behoefte aan die identifisering van geldige rigtingwysers vir navorsingsprestasie as 'n komponent van akademiese prestasie, is daar ondersoek ingestel na die dimensionaliteit van verskillende maatstawwe wat vooraf deur middel van empiriese- en literatuurstudies geidentifiseer is. Daar is gevind dat verskeie geldige maatstawwe deur ses konstrukte verteenwoordig word, te wete: die statuur van die navorser as wetenskaplike, wetenskaplike bydraes, uitbouing van eie professie, gemeenskapsontwikkeling, deelname aan navorsingsprojekte en advieslewering aan persone of instellings buite die Universiteit.

Educational research constitutes a major lever for socio-economic development. It contributes to improving the quality of training, and developing the improvement of education and teaching. However, no training establishment for educational executives belonging to the Moroccan education sector appears today among research operators at the national level. To determine the current state of educational research carried out in this sector, we analyze the contents of the national education and training charter, the emergency program and the strategic vision of the reform. The results show that educational research, as the ultimate goal of the national education sector, has performed poorly on several indicators. The recovery from a pessimistic situation requires, first of all, the establishment of adequate research structures, connected to the university and accredited. In addition, the structures must be made permanent and exercising their missions in liaison with the field. Finally, they would need to be equipped with effective steering mechanisms, allowing the implementation of theoretical and practical aspects of educational research.
