Theoretical foundations of the indicator system, variable of relevance and social impact in Clinical Bioanalysis
Abstract
Introduction: the challenges of Higher Education for the XXI Century cause the need for a new educational process, based on the principles of excellence, quality and relevance. The current SEA-CU makes it possible to measure quality standards with the aim of promoting the assurance and continuous improvement of the teaching processes, through a set of variables, indicators and criteria of established measures. In the course of Clinical Bioanalysis, its link with the health care subsystems of the country, it is necessary to adjust the SEA-CU, in such a way that the process of evaluation and accreditation of the career has variables, indicators and own evaluation criteria that complement those originally established by the National Accreditation Board. Objective: to base the theoretical bases on which the system of indicators is based for the assessment of the variable significance and social impact in the degree of Clinical Bioanalysis. Methods: the dialectical materialist was used as a guiding method, accompanied by theoretical methods: historical-logical, modeling, induction-deduction, empirical methods, such as documentary review. Results: a proposal of indicators for the assessment of the variable of relevance and specific social impact for the self-evaluation of the study of Clinical Bioanalysis was based on theory. Conclusions: the theoretical foundation of the indicators system supports a group of new indicators tempered to the context where the study is developed. They are related to professional skills, with the problems to be solved by the graduate and in close connection with the fields of action of the profession.
