Proposal of a model for the analysis of quality among institutions of the Tecnológico Nacional de México
Abstract
Educational quality is one of the issues that concerns higher level institution and attempts have been made to measure it through updated and comparable indicators that reflect the current state of education on an international level. The objective of this work was to develop a mathematical model that allows the analysis of the performance of the Technological Institutes (TIs) belonging to the Tecnológico Nacional de México (TecNM). The originality of the work is found in the formulation of a mathematical model using information published by each TI in the TecNM Statistical Yearbooks, so that it is not necessary to collect additional information. In this study, 21 indicators reported annually by 126 TIs from 2015 to 2018 were used; it was used a quantitative study with a longitudinal non-experimental design. The method used to structure the mathematical model was Factor Analysis (FA) with exploratory and confirmatory stages combined with Multiple Linear Regression for the formulation of the structural equations. The results showed four significant factors with 17 indicators at the exploratory stage and the same four factor with nine indicators at the confirmatory stage. In additions, the model coefficients were consistent through the years, as well as the five TIs that appeared at the top places in the total performance index calculated with the model. It is therefore proposed to continue with this line of research aimed at generating indicators that are representative of the strategic processes of TecNM and allow comparison with other higher education institutions.
