Convenios Marco y su Aplicación en las Universidades Públicas Chilenas: Periodo 2015-2016

Abstract

This article analyzes the strategic institutional projects called Framework Conventions, which since 2015 represent a new form of financing for Chilean public universities. Therefore, the objective of the article consists of analyzing the installation of the framework conventions on institutional accreditation, strategic planning and quality assurance of public universities. The methodology used includes descriptive analysis and analysis of multiple correspondences, for the period 2015-2016. The results of the study allow us to appreciate that there is an association between the areas of institutional accreditation and strategic planning, and in lesser extent quality assurance, with the framework convention projects. It is concluded that, the impacts of the framework conventions should be studied in the long term, to verify the permanence over time of the improvement of quality in higher education institutions.
