Accreditation process for the Master's degree in Psychological and Social Assessment. Experiences from the University of Medical Sciences of Havana

Abstract

All human activity is evaluable and a source of learning. This is the case with the Master's degree in Psychological and Social Assessment, which was evaluated by a team from the National Accreditation Board (JAN) in early April 2024, where it obtained an excellent rating.
The objective of this work is to present the lessons learned from the internal and external evaluation of the aforementioned master's degree, which are reflected in the action plan.
To achieve this objective, the authors analyzed the internal evaluation report prepared by the academic committee and reviewed by the faculty, as well as the external evaluation report received after the visit.
Both reports yielded two results:
A proposal to create a support service with tools for social research that includes the results of research conducted as part of master's theses, the product of which is thus disseminated.
An improvement plan to be taken into account when convening the fourth edition of this form of postgraduate development.
These results are the concrete implementation of the lessons learned from this week of intense but fruitful work at JAN-Miguel Enríquez College.
