Doctorados virtuales centroamericanos: educomunicación

Abstract

A wide offer of quality doctorate degrees stimulates a greater production of research and new knowledge that contribute to the development of science. Virtual education can contribute to expanding this offer. However, in Central America, doc-toral degrees are limited, despite an increase in the offer of master’s degree programs in recent decades (more than 2000). Of the total of postgraduate degrees, 2% correspond to doctorate degrees programs and out of this amount, virtual programs barely reach a 2%. The bodies responsible for accrediting the quality of regional postgraduate courses do not have specific evaluation models for the virtual modality. In this context, this study was carried out to identify factors that guarantee the quality of virtual doctorate degrees in Central American contexts and determine areas of training for tutors in this modality of higher education. With a qualitative methodology, applying the phenom-enological method and the focused interview technique, an intentional non-probabil-istic sample was established with 40 virtual postgraduate teachers from the six Central American countries, reaching the level of information saturation. As a conclusion, it is confirmed that the quality of a doctorate degree requires ensuring factors that guar-antee the development of solid research skills and the generation of original scientific knowledge that could contribute to the advancement of science, among these, an ade-quate communication between tutors and students and an educommunication training.

Una amplia oferta de doctorados de calidad estimula una mayor producción de investigaciones y de nuevos conocimientos que aportan al desarrollo de la ciencia. En Centroamérica los programas de doctorados son reducidos a pesar de un aumento de la oferta de maestrías en las últimas décadas (más de 2000). Del total de postgra-dos, un 2% corresponde a doctorados y de estos, los programas virtuales apenas alcanzan un 2%. Los organismos responsables de la acreditación de la calidad de postgrados regionales no cuentan con modelos de evaluación específicos para la modalidad virtual. En este contexto, se realizó este estudio identifica los factores que garantizan la calidad de doctorados virtuales en los contextos centroamericanos y determina las áreas de formación de tutores en esta modalidad. Se aplicó una metodología cualitativa, método fenomenológico, con la técnica de entrevista enfocada. La muestra intencional se conformó con 40 docentes de postgrados virtuales de los países centroamericanos, alcanzando con esta el nivel de saturación de la información. Como conclusiones, se confirma que la calidad de un doctorado requiere asegurar factores que garantizan el desarrollo de competencias investigativas sólidas y la generación de conocimientos científicos originales, que contribuyan al avance de la ciencia, así como una adecuada comunicación entre tutores y estudiantes, que ofrece una formación educomunicativa
