This article analyses the effect of the teaching-learning methods used in Spanish universities on three measures of educational output: average mark, graduates' assessment of their professional performance in different dimensions, and their assessment of the acquisition of professional competencies and skills. Multi-level models were used in which graduates (first level) are grouped by field of study (second level). The Class attendance and Written work methods have the most influence on the average mark but influence the graduates' working future the least, as measured with assessments of professional aspects or competencies. In contrast, Problem-based learning, In-company internships and Practical and methodological knowledge are the methods that bear the most influence on the graduates' professional careers and their development of specific professional competencies.

In this paper, we describe an interactive web application (deaR-shiny) to measure efficiency and productivity using data envelopment analysis (DEA). deaR-shiny aims to fill the gap that currently exists in the availability of online DEA software offering practitioners and researchers free access to a very wide variety of DEA models (both conventional and fuzzy models). We illustrate how to use the web app by replicating the main results obtained by Carlucci, Cirà and Coccorese in 2018, who investigate the efficiency and economic sustainability of Italian regional airport by using two conventional DEA models, and the results given by Kao and Liu in their papers published in 2000 and 2003, who calculate the efficiency scores of university libraries in Taiwan by using a fuzzy DEA model because they treat missing data as fuzzy numbers.

ResumenEn este trabajo se describe el procedimiento general seguido en la construcción de un sistema de indicadores para la monitorización y evaluación de la Estrategia de Cultura y Desarrollo de la cooperación española. Tomando como marco de referencia la Gestión Sostenible del Patrimonio Cultural, en el estudio presentado se abordan cuestiones relativas al: 1) proceso de evaluación de un catálogo de indicadores por parte de un panel de especialistas por medio de la técnica Delphi, 2) la definición y cálculo de un índice de operatividad relativo, 3) el proceso de selección de indicadores y, por último, 4) de qué forma éstos fueron asignados para formar parte de la dimensión básica o de la dimensión estratégica en que se estructura el sistema. Palabras

As a consequence, the resulting system, made up by a total of 80 indicators, was designed to be a practical, manageable, and targeted tool for its potential users, who include managers and technical officers who map out strategy together with stakeholders involved in its implementation, and specifically with staff at cultural centers abroad and in technical aid offices.
