| description | This article reports on the results of the research that analyzes the mechanisms that shape the quality assurance systems of higher education in the context of Latin America. With special emphasis on Colombia, we try to highlight the, institutionally consolidated, curricular and academic trends emerged from the problems and demands of the new labor markets, framed in the capitalist globalization, as a reflection of the currently implemented public education policies. Through the case study in Colombia and the review of institutional documents, it was found that higher education and public quality assurance policies appear as the operating device of an asymmetric international structure. In the case of Colombia, rather than difficulties in the formulation, problems are found in the implementation and execution phases, due to the inflexibility of the academic and administrative cultures of higher education institutions. Finally, it is concluded that quality assurance and accreditation contribute to the generation and organization of information for higher education systems. Public policies of quality and internationalization, in the Colombian higher education system, depend on the achievement of acceptable and productive levels of consolidation and the management of the directive and teaching authority in the midst of a quality, administrative, and institutional academic culture of favorable governance. |

This article reports on the results of the research that analyzes the mechanisms that shape the quality assurance systems of higher education in the context of Latin America. With special emphasis on Colombia, we try to highlight the, institutionally consolidated, curricular and academic trends emerged from the problems and demands of the new labor markets, framed in the capitalist globalization, as a reflection of the currently implemented public education policies. Through the case study in Colombia and the review of institutional documents, it was found that higher education and public quality assurance policies appear as the operating device of an asymmetric international structure. In the case of Colombia, rather than difficulties in the formulation, problems are found in the implementation and execution phases, due to the inflexibility of the academic and administrative cultures of higher education institutions. Finally, it is concluded that quality assurance and accreditation contribute to the generation and organization of information for higher education systems. Public policies of quality and internationalization, in the Colombian higher education system, depend on the achievement of acceptable and productive levels of consolidation and the management of the directive and teaching authority in the midst of a quality, administrative, and institutional academic culture of favorable governance. Se presentan los resultados de la investigación que buscaanalizar los mecanismos que componen los sistemas de aseguramiento de la calidad de la educación superior en el contexto de América Latina, haciendo énfasis en Colombia, para resaltar las tendencias curriculares y académicas que se consolidan institucionalmente ante las exigencias y problemáticas que presentan los nuevos mercados laborales en la globalización capitalista, como reflejo de la implementación de las actuales políticas públicas educativas. A través del estudio de caso en Colombia y la revisión de documentos institucionales, se encuentra que la educación superior y las políticas públicas de aseguramiento de la calidad aparecen como el dispositivo de funcionamiento de una estructura asimétrica internacional. En el caso colombiano, más que dificultades en la formulación, se encuentran problemas en las fases de implementación y ejecución, debido a la inflexibilidad de las culturas académicas y administrativas de las instituciones de educación superior. Finalmente se concluye que el aseguramiento de la calidad y la acreditación contribuyen con la generación y organización de información para los sistemas de educación superior. Las políticas públicas de calidad y de internacionalización en el sistema de educación superior colombiano, dependen de lograr niveles aceptables y productivos de consolidación y de maniobrabilidad de la autoridad directiva y docente; en medio de una cultura académica de calidad, administrativa e institucional de gobernabilidad favorable. Apresenta-se os resultados da pesquisa que busca analisar os mecanismos que compõe os sistemas de controle da qualidade da educação superior no contexto da América Latina, com ênfase na Colômbia, para ressaltar as tendências curriculares e acadêmicas que se consolidam institucionalmente frente as exigências e problemáticas que apresentam os novos mercados de trabalho na globalização capitalista, como reflexo da implementação das atuais políticas públicas educacionais. Por meio deste estudo de caso na Colômbia e da revisão de documentos institucionais, se conclui que a educação superior e as políticas públicas de controle da qualidade aparecem como o dispositivo de funcionamento de uma estrutura assimétrica internacional. No caso colombiano, mais que dificuldades na formulação, encontram-se problemas nas fases de implementação e execução, devido à inflexibilidade das culturas acadêmicas e administrativas das instituições de educação superior. Finalmente, se conclui que o controle de qualidade e o reconhecimento contribuem com a geração e organização da informação para os sistemas de educação superior. As políticas públicas de qualidade e de internacionalização no sistema de educação superior colombiano dependem de se alcançar níveis aceitáveis e produtivos de consolidação e de manobrabilidade da autoridade diretiva e docente; em meio a uma cultura acadêmica de qualidade, administrativa e institucional de governabilidade favorável.
