Abstract

This study aims to analyze the requirements of Consolidated Academic Bodies (CAC) recognized by the Program for Faculty Improvement (PRODEP) in order to generate proposals through Strategic Planning (SP) that benefit the Academic Bodies (AB) affiliated with the ten Institutions of Higher Education (IHE) belonging to the Subsystem of Public Universities with Solidarity Support in Oaxaca (UPEAS). The data analyzed correspond to two years of evaluation, gathering information from the three levels of AB: in formation (CAEF), in consolidation (CAEC), and consolidated (CAC), with the purpose of characterization. The methodology used involved data collection through a questionnaire, compiling 144 surveys from Full-Time Professors (FTP) who are members of CAEF, 49 surveys from FTP who are members of CAEC, and 19 surveys from FTP who are members of CAC, totaling 212 respondents at the UPEAS level. Hierarchical, distance, and similarity methods were selected based on the obtained results for the study. It is important to note that, being a cluster, the UPEAS requires a special statistical method. It comprises ten IHE and seventeen campuses, housing 92 AB with 205 LGAC in the first year and 103 AB with 209 LGAC in the second year, necessitating the application of three questionnaires for each level of consolidation of the AB. All professors belonging to an AB who completed the questionnaire and its various question blocks were subjected to cluster analysis, followed by a SWOT analysis (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats) and proposal of strategies.
