Planning and Strategic Management of Higher Education Considering the Vision of Latin America

Abstract

Nowadays, many universities are employing metrics that are used by other countries as the focus moves towards academic management. A shared vision and collaboration is required to identify success cases. Leaders at senior and middle management need to be guided by a road map to get a clear vision, a list of different strategies and successful outcomes. Consequently, this article proposes an academic management strategy to guarantee student-centred education. This strategy has an emphasis on hierarchical process in layers, in order to optimise and achieve efficiency, reliability and resilience. In this paper, the “what”, “ how” and “where” are taken into account in order to respond to academic and administrative adjustments which are necessary to reduce the risk of investment in training and formation of human capital, which warns about the need to acquire knowledge, especially from countries with scientific expertise. It is also shown the indicators that motivate the effort based on the merit that human capital produces. A methodology of flipped learning or blended learning is applied to presume a human capital that is able to break down barriers, such as: English as a universal language. A bibliometric analysis has been based over 2000 scientific articles from the Web of Science and Scopus databases. So It was possible to identify countries, universities and researchers specifically for each area of knowledge based on the results of this analysis. Besides, university careers can even be validated according to the development and scientific interest that is presented by the bibliometric analysis, which could be compared with studies based on economics and wealth from sources such as Forbes.

Educational Innovation in the Evaluation Processes within the Flipped and Blended Learning Models

“…To apply an evaluation in class, the teacher can group students according to their bases and interests and allow the development of a collaborative field in which ideas should have been exchanged. They propose their methods and steps to follow and thus allow us to learn and look at it from different perspectives and to inspire thinking, discussion, reflection and to analyze in-depth and find solutions to the problem; another innovative strategy is that the student can choose or design some topics close to life which can be used and applied with the knowledge taught in the classroom [1,2].…”

“…There are many reasons why these models should be implemented within the classroom, in which there are two essential points to be able to apply these concepts. The learning experience should be increased and adopted in new support for learning through technology and its easier access, and thus the educational processes of both the student and the teacher should be improved [2,11].…”

Methodological Experience in the Teaching-Learning of the English Language for Students with Visual Impairment

“…It should be emphasized that the educational needs presented by visual impairment students (VIS) are heterogeneous, as is the blind population itself [5]. Higher education institutions (HEI) are obliged to offer the necessary support and adaptations [6,7], not only for able-bodied students but for all in an inclusive English language learning environment, achieving true educational inclusion [8].…”

“…Visual impairment students must confront the need to learn to cope with and overcome the barriers that are presented to them in different learning environments. These barriers limit the options for active and autonomous participation among students with or without visual impairment in order to achieve true educational inclusion [7,13]. Likewise, to facilitate English language learning to VISs, it is required to incorporate new methodological strategies in the teaching-learning process of the language [3,14,15].…”
