An approach to the management of university processes: its dimensions

Abstract

Among its functions, the Center for the Study of Educational Sciences of Pinar del Río leads research in the field of university management, of students inserted in the training processes of the master and doctoral academic programs in Educational Sciences. The master and doctoral students presented inconsistencies in the theoretical systematizations, when addressing the research objects related to the management of university processes. In general, they focused in an atomized and unconnected way the contents of the management of the process they were researching. For the research carried out, the authors of this paper used a system of theoretical and empirical methods, namely: documentary analysis, scientific observation, interviews, analysis and synthesis, induction and deduction, which allowed them to fulfill the objective of approaching the management of university processes and their dimensions, which serves researchers as a guide for the elaboration of their starting theoretical frameworks. A theoretical foundation was presented as a result of the systematization carried out, which contributed to giving organization and coherence to the theoretical frameworks of the research related to the management of university processes. This work constitutes one of the results of the research project on the management of university processes at the University of Pinar del Río.
