Resumen
Este proyecto se propuso analizar críticamente la experiencia del Programa de Mejoramiento de la Calidad
de la Educación General Básica (PROMECE) del Ministerio de Educación Pública.
El estudio ofrece un seguimiento descriptivo, analítico y una reflexión crítica sobre PROMECE, el cual es
desarrollado por el Ministerio de Educación Pública. Este proyecto es realizado por la Red Iberoamericana
de Investigación sobre Cambio y Eficacia Escolar (RINACE), a través de la Universidad Autónoma de Aguascalientes
(México) y la Universidad Autónoma de Madrid; ambas instancias coordinan la realización de un
estudio sobre proyectos para el cambio escolar desarrollados en América Latina.
Se trata de una sistematización documental, la cual se concentra en el diagnóstico, la recuperación histórica
y el análisis realizado por evaluaciones e informes de PROMECE, con lo cual se busca conocer el desarrollo
de las experiencias realizadas y las lecciones aprendidas.
Algunas de las conclusiones son las siguientes:
• PROMECE se percibe como un espacio institucional que ha permitido el desarrollo de las políticas y
planes educativos correspondientes con las administraciones gubernamentales en turno. Esta función
ha sido provechosa para la incorporación de acciones específicas que movilizan al sistema y a los procesos
pedagógicos. Involucra la actualización del personal asesor, administrativo y docente.
• La estructura organizativa del MEP revela que la mayor debilidad de PROMECE es el que no se visualice
una relación directa entre él y las dependencias del MEP.
• Según se ha podido corroborar a lo largo de este estudio, la conceptualización de la calidad de la educación que presenta PROMECE, puede ser considerada como un acercamiento amplio e integrador de
la visión de la calidad, la cual se acompaña de cambios pedagógicos, criterios de formación y acondicionamiento de infraestructura, así como de la adquisición de equipos técnicos especializados
ABSTRACT: This project aimed to critically analyze the experience of the Program for Improving the Quality of Basic General Education (PROMECE) of the Ministry of Public Education. The study offers a descriptive, analytical and critical reflection on PROMECE, which is developed by the Ministry of Public Education. This project is carried out by the Ibero-American Research Network on School Change and Efficiency (RINACE), through the Autonomous University of Aguascalientes (Mexico) and the Autonomous University of Madrid; both instances coordinate the realization of a study on projects for school change developed in Latin America. This is a documentary systematization, which focuses on the diagnosis, historical recovery and analysis carried out by evaluations and reports of PROMECE, which seeks to know the development of the experiences and lessons learned. Some of the conclusions are as follow: • PROMECE is perceived as an institutional space that has allowed the development of policies and corresponding educational plans with government administrations in turn. This function has been helpful for the incorporation of specific actions that mobilize the system and pedagogical processes. It involves updating the advisory, administrative and teaching staff. • The organizational structure of the MEP reveals that the greatest weakness of PROMECE is the lack of a direct relationship between it and the MEP units. • As it has been corroborated throughout this study, the conceptualization of the quality of education presented by PROMECE, can be considered as a comprehensive and integrative approach to the vision of quality, which is accompanied by pedagogical changes, criteria of training and conditioning of infrastructure, as well as the acquisition of specialized technical equipment
