Sistema de seguimiento a graduados de la Escuela Física y Matemática, Facultad de Ciencias, Escuela Superior Politécnica de Chimborazo, año 2014.

Abstract

It was implemented a monitoring system for graduates from the School of Physics and Mathematics, Faculty of Science, Escuela Superior Politécnica de Chimborazo, year 2014, where by means of surveys, the socioecomic, demographic, educational and labour information was tabulated and analyzed by statistical methods to contribute to the quality parameters expected by the model of accreditation of careers proposed by the Council of Assessment, Accreditation and Quality Assurance of Higher Education ( CEAACES). In order to implement the system; the relevant variables in the study populations, which included the students of last levels, graduates, and employers from both, Physics and Mathematics careers, were subjected of research. The study was based on the use of location strategies to study populations, outlined technical and statistical concepts that made possible to develop surveys in each population, and finally, it was acquired a web domain necessary to develop the application “cienciasgradus”. The findings analyzed; with a confidence level of 95%; made possible to ensure that graduates show homogeneity of criteria in areas such as: the relevance of the career studied for the professional development in long term (80% statistics, 62% Biophysics), contents of the professionalizing subjects (60% statistics, 100% Biophysics), significance of the career when being hired (both, 100%) and disagreement regarding to the practicality of the curriculum in their professional lives. Based on this study, it was determined that the proposed system has a friendly-user interface that is easy to operate, it is flexible and it adjusts to modifications in the contents according to academic requirements, it facilitates to deliver reliable, regular, and appropriate to the careers in the School of Physics and Mathematics, so it is recommended to extend its use to other academic fields of the institution.
