Evaluación del programa de posgrado "educar en la diversidad" por parte de los profesores participantes

Abstract

The quality assessment of the study programmes has been part of the feedback mechanisms of European Higher Education systems since around the eighties of the last century. Based on a study of the Master's degree «Educating in Diversity» (ED) at La Laguna University, this article reports an investigation of how professors assessed ED goals, processes and outcomes, university instructional values, and standards of professional practice.The article presents a conceptual framework, a research design plan, the identification of problems, appropriate analytical techniques, and selected findings of substantial relevance to other professional postgraduate programmes.The results show the importance attached to the ED organization and teaching programme and confirm professors¿ satisfaction with it, which is done through a theoretical and empirical questionnaire. This methodological approach reinforces future researchers' ability to design assessment studies of professional postgraduate programmes that will impact on the planning and development of other programmes.The article ends with suggestions for improving Master's degree evaluation efforts
