En el presente ensayo se aborda el tema de las metodologías universitarias de los siglos XX y XXI como tendencias pedagógicas en la educación superior occidental, el cual constituye el marco teórico referencial de una investigación exploratoria sobre tendencias metodológicas entre los docentes de una muestra seleccionada en las Universidades de Guayaquil y Estatal de Milagro, en Ecuador, en el año 2014. Se ofrece en primer lugar una mirada panorámica a las características pedagógicas de los siglos XX y XXI; luego se exponen los modelos curriculares y metodológicos más empleados en las prácticas pedagógicas de numerosos docentes universitarios en los países occidentales, y finalmente se intenta, con fines autoevaluativos, una clasificación preliminar de algunas metodologías de los siglos XX y XXI que han logrado un mayor posicionamiento en las experiencias pedagógicas de los docentes universitarios latinoamericanos. AbstractThis essay reviews the topic about university methodologies of the XX and XXI centuries as pedagogic trends in Western higher Education, which is the theoretical framework of an exploratory research on methodological trends among teachers in a selected sample in the State University of Guayaquil and State University of Milagro, Ecuador, in 2014. It is offered, first of all a panoramic view to the pedagogic characteristics of the XX and XXI centuries; it is further presented the most used curricular and methodological patterns in pedagogic practices of many university professors in Western countries; and, with self-evaluation purposes, a preliminary classification is attempted about some methodologies of the XX and XXI centuries which have achieved greater positioning of pedagogic experiences in the Latin American university professors.

Este artículo luego de una ardua investigación exploratoria, sintetiza las razones que han motivado la deserción de los jóvenes estudiantes del proceso de Nivelación de carrera de la Universidad Estatal del Sur de Manabí en los últimos dos (2) períodos del año 2017, así como, la afectación en el crecimiento de la población estudiantil de la institución referida; entre los factores consultados está el de tipo económico, nivel de ingresos del grupo familiar del estudiante, necesidad de trabajar para sustentar los estudios, carencia de mecanismos adecuados que permitan al estudiante financiar los estudios, para ello, se ejecutaron más de 250 entrevistas a estudiantes desertores, mediante un cuestionario construido y validado. Adicionalmente, se realizaron 20 entrevistas a expertos académicos de las distintas áreas y administrativos del más alto rango en la universidad.

Powerful Incentive

The degree conferred upon me by the University of America with the concurrence of the 24 universities of the Republic of Colombia is a powerful incentive to the work of the Inter-American Development Bank in the field of higher education and research in Latin America. You will forgive me, then, if I take this occasion to mention the role of the Inter-American Bank as the “Bank of the Latin American University,” a role which has placed it in the vanguard of an impressive process of international cooperation for the modernization and decisive expansion of higher education in the Hemisphere. The $55 million it has loaned to 71 institutions in 17 countries bear eloquent testimony to an abiding preoccupation of the Bank in its brief years of existence.

Idea Of The University

Postindependence Latin American universities developed during the 19th and most of the 20th century largely under the normative influence of a Latin American idea of the university institution. In the last few decades, factors both related to the development of higher education and external to it have combined to challenge the clout of that model. As a result, notwithstanding the persistence of elements of the old paradigm, the model of the Latin American university is now related chiefly to US research universities.

Textual Strategies

In the last decade, published data on the performance of Colombian students have concerned educators and researchers, making critical reading one of the priorities of Colombian education. That is why this article presents the results of a study carried out in a Latin American university in which the perceptions of students and professors are analyzed regarding the strategies and textual genres used to work and cross-evaluate the advanced reading comprehension (ARC). This study is materialized in the application of an ad hoc online questionnaire, in its two versions (students and teachers), designed through Survey Monkey. For this, it has the participation of 182 teachers and 2,775 students. There are several trends in the use of specific textual strategies and typologies to work and evaluate ARC, by both, depending on the department of assignment. The evidence found is provided and evaluated considering the implications for cross-curricular instruction and assessment in higher education in Latin America, including study limitations and prospects for overcoming them.

The purpose of the chapter is to present the experience of the evaluation based on competences, through an institutional evaluation program that verifies the quality of the training as a process of quality assurance and as part of the Quality Management System in a Latin American university. It will describe the academic process called Assessment Center that designs, manages, and implements the program of undergraduate and postgraduate evaluation in face-to-face and virtual modality, and that has an objective to develop the project of Evaluation in Higher Education by Competences based on the Pedagogical Model of the College. Finally, this chapter aims to demonstrate from an experience in higher education the importance of quality as an integral part of the institutional culture of a Latin American university, as well as the collective and individual intentionality of the educational communities, in such a way that it is reflected in the processes and tasks that are carried out in the university institutions.

Resumo: O presente texto teve o objetivo de analisar o desempenho do Programa Ciência sem Fronteiras na Austrália, de forma a testar a hipótese de que o programa foi importante para a formação de estudantes brasileiros de graduação egressos, no sentido de ter proporcionado experiências educacionais relevantes, tanto no plano acadêmico, quanto em termos de perspectivas para o futuro. A Austrália foi o terceiro maior receptor de estudantes brasileiros contemplados com bolsas de estudo na modalidade graduação sanduíche. Para tanto, foram entrevistados onze especialistas australianos e latino-americanos, com diferentes experiências profissionais sobre o processo de internacionalização da educação superior. A metodologia adotada envolveu pesquisa de natureza qualitativa, exploratória, com entrevistas semiestruturadas para a coleta de dados. A interpretação dos dados foi realizada, sobretudo, com base na análise de conteúdo proposta por Lawrence Bardin. Os resultados mostraram que o programa possibilitou mudanças importantes na vida pessoal e acadêmica dos egressos, tendo viabilizado o contato com a pesquisa e as redes de conhecimento. Entretanto, diante dos resultados e das discussões em torno de sua continuidade, torna-se necessário fazer mudanças que permitam o avanço continuado do processo de internacionalização da educação superior já iniciado. Palavras-chave: Educação Superior. Internacionalização. Programa Ciência sem Fronteiras.   THE CIÊNCIA SEM FRONTEIRAS PERFORMANCE IN AUSTRALIA IN THE LIGHT OF AUSTRALIAN AND LATIN-AMERICAN EXPERTS Abstract: This paper aims to analyze the Ciência sem Fronteiras Program performance in Australia to test the hypothesis according to which the program was important to the nurturing of the Brazilian graduated university students, because it provided relevant educational experiences both in the academic arena and in terms of perspectives of future. Australia was ranked third in the list of countries receiving Brazilian students holding scholarships in the sandwich undergraduate modality. To that, eleven Australian and Latin American experts of different professional backgrounds were interviewed about the higher education internationalization process. The methodology adopted involved qualitative and exploratory research with semi-structured interviews to collect data. Data were construed mainly based on the content analysis proposed by Lawrence Bardin. Results showed that the program confered important changes on personal and academic lives of graduated students, allowing contact with research and knowledge networks. However, in face of the results and discussions about the continuity of the program, changes are required to allow advancing the existing process of higher education internationalization.
