Pertinence of educational quality in PNPC Postgraduate Programs
This document aims to show an overview of factors that allude to the assurance of educational quality at the higher level, specifically of the Postgraduate Programs that belong to the National Quality Postgraduate Program (PNPC) of the National Council of Science and Technology (CONACYT). According to the PNPC Register in Mexico, there are 2,435 master's and doctoral degrees recognized by the PNPC, which in a given period are evaluated according to guidelines and criteria established by CONACYT. To this end, Higher Education Institutions (IES) submit to an institutional commitment that supports the promotion, development and permanence of postgraduate courses, providing the necessary elements to cover the criteria and indicators evaluated. In this sense, based on a qualitative methodology with a documentary approach and descriptive method, it was obtained that, in the case of the Autonomous University of Tabasco, the admission and permanence of a postgraduate degree in the registry is strengthened in the educational quality with actions in productivity, teaching, research, linking and mobility. Taking as a conclusion that the articulation of postgraduate courses entails institutional innovation processes that establish patterns of strategies towards greater scope in the qualitative and quantitative indicators of the PNPC's postgraduate educational programs.
