El entorno de las universidades ha experimentado un cambio significativo en los últimos años, debido a una mayor competencia por recursos y la presión por demostrar que están cumpliendo con sus misiones y objetivos de manera efectiva. Esto ha generado la necesidad de evaluar su quehacer y exhibir su desempeño, espacio que han ocupado los rankings de universidades como herramienta de accountability en la educación superior. La presente investigación tiene como finalidad exhibir las principales críticas y usos asociados a los rankings universitarios, con el fin de lograr una perspectiva amplia de estas herramientas de medición organizacional. Para su consecución, se realiza una investigación de tipo descriptiva que utiliza fuentes secundarias de información. Los resultados señalan que los rankings sirven como herramienta de orientación para estudiantes y familias en la elección de una universidad, además de ser una fuente valiosa de información para las propias instituciones. Las principales críticas están vinculadas con la metodología que emplean, la noción de calidad que proponen, la predominancia de indicadores sobre investigación y el uso de encuestas de opinión. A pesar de esto, los rankings pueden ser útiles si se usan de manera adecuada y si se tienen en cuenta sus limitaciones.

“…In Chile, while the government has shown a growing interest to increase the Higher Education quality, the educational system as a whole still has a low level of accountability, thereby affecting the public confidence toward Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) (Dussaillant and Guzmán, 2014; Riquelme Silva et al, 2018; Rojas Ríos and López Stefoni, 2016; Fleet et al, 2014; López et al, 2015).…”

This research presents an application of a mixed narrative review, including grey literature, to broaden knowledge about the value of educational management information systems (EMIS) for accountability in higher education institutions (HEIs). The review was focused in understanding the relationships among quality management (QM), EMIS use and accountability. Analyzing 39 documents produced between 1990 and 2018, we confirm the tight QM–EMIS use–accountability relationship. A weak link between QM and EMIS use was found, resulting in a low accountability level, nevertheless e-maturity successfully describes the link between QM and EMIS use and legitimizes the HEIs in the society. Finally, the value of mixed narrative reviews, including gray literature, is demonstrated in the fields of management information systems and higher education.

An important change in Chilean education in the last decade has been the incorporation of accountability policies and mechanisms, such as the Education Quality Assurance System, the Preferential School Subsidy Law (SEP) and the New Public Education for educational improvement. These prevailing policies are made up of a set of strategic projects belonging to the Ministry of Education, whose purpose is to comprehensively and systemically strengthen the quality of education provided in the country’s schools. In order to know what happens in schools in terms of policy implementation and accountability mechanisms, the objective is to analyze these mechanisms, identifying the main difficulties and tensions reported by the research carried out within the framework of public policy in which educational management is evaluated. In order to achieve this objective, a documentary study was carried out with a systematic descriptive review of research and technical documents published between 2000 and 2020, with emphasis on the concepts of quality, accountability and school management. A deductive content analysis was applied to the 28 articles and documents selected, which describe the tensions and difficulties brought about by accountability policies in Chilean schools. The product of this research clearly identified that the installation of the accountability model, on the one hand, implies a pressure on schools focused on improving their results in terms of goals and deadlines and, on the other hand, reveals the challenge of leadership in decision-making between what is urgent and what is important to achieve these goals. Finally, this quality assurance system, which is framed in an accountability paradigm, mainly from the performative and professional models, brings with it high consequences for schools, where external agencies define the standards of educational efficiency and effectiveness.
