Resumen
La presente investigación tiene como objetivo interpretar las percepciones de los
actores involucrados en el aseguramiento de la calidad de la educación superior en el proceso
de acreditación de la carrera de arquitectura de la Universidad Nacional de Ingeniería de
Lima, Perú, que expliquen este proceso social. De esta manera, la investigación puede ser
un aporte a los mismos actores del proceso y al mismo proceso en conjunto. Para ello
desarrolla un paradigma interpretativo, con un enfoque cualitativo y como metodología la
teoría fundamentada para recopilar los datos y analizarlos. Se aplica el muestreo teórico, en
base a parámetros de heterogeneidad de actores por tipo, integrando casos extremos
(docentes auxiliares y principales, alumnos de nivel básico y recién egresados), casos típicos,
casos políticamente sensibles (autoridades actuales y pasadas), con un criterio de
conveniencia. El instrumento utilizado es la entrevista semiestructurada. Se ha determinado
que no existe una concepción clara de los actores sobre la necesidad de la elaboración de un
concepto propio de calidad a nivel de institución, basado en la autoevaluación del legado y
el futuro, lo cual limita la participación de los actores. Las acciones, principalmente de
control, que promueven el aseguramiento de la calidad como parte de un proceso de
acreditación internacional, generan una percepción principal de obligación, cuando se debe
promover la generación de una cultura de la calidad propia, a partir de la mejora del
involucramiento y la satisfacción, lo cual es vital para lograr compromisos de mejora
continua de la calidad en educación superior, en una carrera como la de la arquitectura, y en
la universidad peruana.
The goal of this research is to interpret the perceptions of the actors involved in the assurance of the higher education quality in the accreditation process of the architecture career at the Universidad Nacional de Ingeniería, Lima, Perú, that explain this social process. In this way, the research can be a contribution to the same actors of the process and to the same process as a whole. To do this, it develops an interpretive paradigm, with a qualitative approach and as methodology the grounded theory, based on collecting the data and analyzing them. The theoretical sampling is applied, based on parameters of heterogeneity of actors by type, integrating extreme cases (auxiliary and principal professors, basic level students and recent graduates), typical cases, politically sensitive cases (current and past authorities), with a convenience criterion. The instrument used is the semi-structured interview. This research determined that there is no clear conception of the actors about the need to elaborate an own concept of the institution quality, based on the self-evaluation of the legacy and the future, which limits the participatory level of the actors. There are actions, mainly of control, that promote the quality assurance as part of an international accreditation process, generate a main perception of obligation, when the generation of a culture of own quality must be promoted, from the improvement of the Involvement and satisfaction, which is vital to achieve commitments of continuous improvement of quality in higher education, in a career as architecture, and in the Peruvian university.
