“…However, it is important to highlight that the production frontier has the same configuration as the prediction model (decision tree). Finally, for the data analysis and the construction of the models, R software [23] was used and the EAT package [11] for constructing the efficiency model employing a decision tree.…”

“…Consequently, measuring the quality and efficiency of education today is a challenge for many researchers [3]- [5] due to the number of variables associated with the economic, psychosocial, sociodemographic, environmental, institutional, ethical, spiritual and cultural contexts of each individual [6]- [9]. Therefore, it is essential to manage educational processes in the most effective way possible through reliable techniques, tools and methodologies, which have been studied in Colombia [10], [11]. Unlike models previously developed in this field, the present research proposes to measure the efficiency and productivity of universities in Colombia in engineering careers from the EAT.…”

<span lang="EN-US">This research aims to design a quality management tool in education. The methodology comprises two stages: first, the construction of the decision tree model, and second, the efficiency evaluation. For the validation and development of this research, the data modelled corresponds to the standardized exams for higher education in Colombia of ninety industrial engineering degrees. Among the results, the citizenship skills (CC_PRO) generate the most significant contribution to the model. On the other hand, the written communication competence (CE_PRO) generates a minor contribution to the model. In addition, the most relevant result of the research is the design and validation of a tool to estimate educational efficiency using the efficiency analysis tree (EAT) and data enveloping analysis (DEA) models. The proposed tool allows the generation of specific targets to increase the level of efficiency of universities through the nodes of the decision tree, which contributes to the spectrum of knowledge on models for educational management. In conclusion, this research presents a tool for the management of educational processes through the analysis of efficiency using EAT, estimating the efficiency of universities and setting the foundations for forecasting future efficiency scenarios.</span>
