<p>The legislation that establishes the National Higher Education Evaluation System (SINAES) states that the institutional self-evaluation process in Brazilian Higher Education Institutions (BHEI) must be made periodically and compulsorily. However, the legislation, regulamentation and technical notes do not have a toolset (evaluative instrumentation, quality and quantitative metrics, diagnostic criteria, etc.) for conception, application and data analysis in self-evaluative processes. Among the various techniques and instruments used by many BHEI, this research tried to collect the most productive and efficient ones which were compatible with SINAES so as to obtain a metamodel able to guide the assembling and management of computerized internal institutional evaluations, in which software interface prototyping techniques were employed for its validation.</p>

The main goal of the Nordic project Quality Assurance in Higher Education was to develop and implement a self-evaluation model in the participating Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) to support their quality assurance work and continuous curriculum development. Furthermore, the project aimed at strengthening the cooperation of HEIs in quality assurance (QA) and disseminating good practices of QA. The framework of development is based on the CDIO approach and the CDIO self-evaluation process. The main results are a detailed definition of the self-evaluation process, well-documented self-evaluations of the participating degree programmes, and the identification of the main development areas and actions in each participating degree programme. Furthermore, the project has increased the partners’ understanding of other partners and their challenges. Finally, quality assurance has been enhanced in each participating programme and new ideas and support for quality assurance work in other higher education institutes have been produced.

The professionalization of university management takes place in many countries and is part of the transformation of the higher education sector. Professionalization of university management in the USA, Great Britain, many EU countries and other parts of the world includes the implementation of the concept of strategic management of public and private universities, as well as strengthening and improving the administration and professional development of managers in the higher education sector. The adoption of Law 2.0 creates an organizational space for the introduction of various management solutions. The basis of organizational changes is the increase in competition, diversity of the university's mission and internationalization. It can be argued that greater freedom in the application of various organizational solutions and increased competition will favor the professionalization of management. Numerous strategic, structural and managerial solutions will be tested at universities and adjusted to their needs.

  La presente investigación se centra en el ámbito de la Formación Inicial Docente (FID) en Pedagogía en Educación Física (PEF). El objetivo es conocer la forma en que estudiantes en proceso de FID en PEF implementan la evaluación formativa en las clases que realizan en su práctica profesional. Se lleva a cabo mediante un enfoque cuantitativo, descriptivo, no experimental transversal, en donde se consideraron a 64 estudiantes de una institución de educación superior privada de Chile. El instrumento de recolección de información que se utilizó fue un guión de observación aplicado por parte de profesores supervisores de práctica profesional el cual considera las dimensiones de: a) Retroalimentación, b) Elaboración e implementación y c) Respuesta de los y las escolares. Los resultados verifican la aplicación de retroalimentación, apoyo diferenciado según lo requieren los y las escolares y tratamiento del error; pero no aplican en forma sistemática la autoevaluación ni la coevaluación, ni registro de lo realizado por los estudiantes en clases. Se puede concluir que si bien se incorpora la evaluación formativa en el desarrollo de la práctica profesional por parte de estudiantes en proceso de FID en PEF, estos no propician espacios de diálogo respecto al proceso evaluativo (autoevaluación y evaluación por pares).  Abstract: This research focuses on the field of Initial Teacher Training (FID) in Pedagogy in Physical Education (PEF). The objective is to know the way in which students in the FID process at PEF implement the formative assessment in the classes they take in their professional practice. It is carried out through a quantitative, descriptive, non-experimental cross-sectional approach, where 64 students from a private higher education institution in Chile were considered. The information collection instrument that was used was an observation script applied by supervising professors of professional practice which considers the dimensions of: a) Feedback, b) Preparation and implementation and c) Response of the schoolchildren. The results verify the application of feedback, differentiated support as required by the schoolchildren and treatment of the error; but they do not apply in a systematic way self-evaluation or co-evaluation, nor record of what the students have done in class. It can be concluded that although formative evaluation is incorporated in the development of professional practice by students in the FID process in PEF, they do not provide spaces for dialogue regarding the evaluation process (self-evaluation and peer evaluation).
