Coherence and Relevance of a Master's Program in Educational Sciences

Abstract

Given the growing demand for highly trained professionals, this work called Coherence and Relevance of a Master's Program in Educational Sciences, through a mixed and transversal methodological design, analyzed the coherence between design, implementation and development of a program of a master's degree with emphasis on curricular design in a public management university and its relevance for professional training through the review of curricular documents, a survey and interviews with different actors in the university community. The results indicate a high coherence between the phases of the curricular process and their relevance for the purposes of professional training, and indicate the existence of a solid programmatic structure, however, a gap was identified in the development of the attitudinal plane, which suggests the need to strengthen this aspect in future curricular designs.
