Resumen

Introducción. Las universidades españolas adoptan indicadores de resultados como práctica destacada de renovación institucional. En este estudio se analizan indicadores de resultados universitarios (tasas de éxito, eficiencia, graduación, abandono y rendimiento de los estudiantes universitarios) de distintos campos del conocimiento, para contrastarlos con la opinión de las comisiones de calidad de los distintos centros universitarios. Método. Se utilizaron métodos mezclados: un análisis cuantitativo de las medias de los porcentajes obtenidos para los diferentes campos del conocimiento para los cinco indicadores de resultados y un análisis cualitativo mediante un DAFO (debilidades, amenazas, fortalezas y oportunidades) con la opinión de las comisiones de calidad de las titulaciones en seis dimensiones de contenido: programa formativo, infraestructura y recursos, estudiantes, profesores, y elementos institucionales. Resultados. Ciencias de la Salud se muestra como la única rama del conocimiento que mejora en tasa de éxito en tres años, sin embargo Ciencias Sociales y Jurídicas e Ingeniería y Arquitectura mejoran en eficiencia. La rama de Artes y Humanidades tiene el porcentaje de deserción más alto. Discusión. Encontramos similitudes con otros estudios en la dirección de la mejora en tasas de éxito en Ciencias de la Salud, que contrasta con las tasas de deserción de Ingeniería y Arquitectura, así como la baja tasa de finalización de estudios en el grado de Historia del Arte. Conclusiones. Se plantea una revisión longitudinal de la metodología docente de las asignaturas, la formación en docencia universitaria, el establecimiento de un plan de mejora para el aprendizaje mezclado y a distancia, y el rendimiento de los estudiantes.
