Satisfaction of Old Graduates of Zootechnical Engineering for Improvement of Educational Quality at the UNCP

摘要

Concept of university higher education quality is linked to the relevance of an educational project that promotes institutional transformation to improve the comprehensive training of new professionals. In this context, the research objective is to determine the graduates satisfaction level, trained with curricula 1979, 1985 and 1995 who have more than 20 years of graduation from Zootechnical Faculty of the Universidad Nacional del Centro del Perú (UNCP), the main deficiencies perceived by graduates in curriculum development, areas of knowledge that should be reinforced and the reasons for dissatisfaction, and have more evidence for curriculum improvement. These plans respond to a traditional educational model, by objectives, without competence assessment system, repetitive learning, and insufficient laboratories implementation. A questionnaire was applied with questions to know the employment situation, continuing education, curricular relevance, areas to be reinforced and satisfaction level with training received in the study years. Sixty graduates in the research were considered, with systematic probabilistic sampling carried out in graduates meeting; This sampling is very efficient when there are a limited number of subjects that have the same qualities as the target population, that is, graduates of the UNCP Faculty of Zootechnics trained with 1979, 1985 and 1995 curricula. Data was analyzed in SPSS 23. Research provides information to improve the educational quality of UNCP zootechnical engineering academic program.
