Abstract

The objective of this Curricular Integration Work is to design a prospective strategic plan for the Directorate of Evaluation and Quality Assurance (DEAC), in order to contribute to institutional development and comply with the accreditation guidelines of the Council for Quality Assurance in Higher Education (CACES). For its elaboration, a methodology with a qualitative and quantitative approach was applied, developing surveys and workshops, applied to the prospective process carried out by the Planning Directorate of the Escuela Superior Politécnica de Chimborazo, which consists of 4 phases in which key actors (population) participate, the design of this research is transversal and non-experimental because it occurs within a period of time and for its execution the variables were not manipulated. According to its type of study, it is considered as a field study because all the information was collected within the same agency, as well as in already published texts. The research techniques were both surveys and interviews using their respective research instruments, with which it was possible to determine aspects that helped in the elaboration of the strategic prospective plan, taking into account the four processes of the unit. As a result of the prospective process, the procedures that are working or not working correctly, their expectations in four years, analysis of trends, ruptures and black swans that could affect the Directorate were detected, in order to subsequently establish dystopian and utopian scenarios that help the integral development of DEAC for the establishment of strategic objectives, strategies, goals, activities aligned to the institution, which can be evaluated with the use of indicators.
