This article analyzes the results of an inquiry into Latin American university community members’ perceptions about regulatory processes and asymmetries of information, as influential factors in the governance of Latin American universities. It does so, by examining the national laws in Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Chile, and Mexico. Previous studies in this continent have not considered these aspects and perspectives. Our research found significant differences between countries in terms of the Board of Directors’ capacity to act and the control mechanisms they can employ—which can be interpreted as national differences in the availability of their resources and their regulatory capacities. On the level of asymmetry of information, there are differences between countries, which depend on the position of the university members in their institutions. Thus, regulation and information are important factors when it comes to the governance of Latin American universities, and can explain its’ diversity.

Course Timetabling Problem

Timetabling problem is a complex task that is performed by a number of institutions worldwide, which has been usually addressed as an optimization problem where every approach considers the particular constraints of each institution under consideration. In this paper, we describe, model, and propose a solution to the timetabling problem at the División Académica de Ciencias y Tecnologías de la Información of the Universidad Juárez Autónoma de Tabasco (UJAT), México. We modeled the specific constraints of this problem instance using the Object Constraint Language (OCL) of the Unified Modeling Language (UML), and we validated the model while using the state-of-the-art tool USE: UML-based Specification Environment. The solution strategy tackles the problem in two stages: (1) ACA: academic assignments, i.e., assign lectures to professors and (2) TTP: the timetabling process. We developed a Tabu Search customization named Tabu Search with Probabilistic Aspiration Criterion (TS-PAC) in order to solve the timetabling problem, and we developed a software prototype to test our proposal. Two feasible timetables for two different semesters were obtained according to the modeled constraints.

Powerful Incentive

The degree conferred upon me by the University of America with the concurrence of the 24 universities of the Republic of Colombia is a powerful incentive to the work of the Inter-American Development Bank in the field of higher education and research in Latin America. You will forgive me, then, if I take this occasion to mention the role of the Inter-American Bank as the “Bank of the Latin American University,” a role which has placed it in the vanguard of an impressive process of international cooperation for the modernization and decisive expansion of higher education in the Hemisphere. The $55 million it has loaned to 71 institutions in 17 countries bear eloquent testimony to an abiding preoccupation of the Bank in its brief years of existence.

Preliminary Classification

En el presente ensayo se aborda el tema de las metodologías universitarias de los siglos XX y XXI como tendencias pedagógicas en la educación superior occidental, el cual constituye el marco teórico referencial de una investigación exploratoria sobre tendencias metodológicas entre los docentes de una muestra seleccionada en las Universidades de Guayaquil y Estatal de Milagro, en Ecuador, en el año 2014. Se ofrece en primer lugar una mirada panorámica a las características pedagógicas de los siglos XX y XXI; luego se exponen los modelos curriculares y metodológicos más empleados en las prácticas pedagógicas de numerosos docentes universitarios en los países occidentales, y finalmente se intenta, con fines autoevaluativos, una clasificación preliminar de algunas metodologías de los siglos XX y XXI que han logrado un mayor posicionamiento en las experiencias pedagógicas de los docentes universitarios latinoamericanos. AbstractThis essay reviews the topic about university methodologies of the XX and XXI centuries as pedagogic trends in Western higher Education, which is the theoretical framework of an exploratory research on methodological trends among teachers in a selected sample in the State University of Guayaquil and State University of Milagro, Ecuador, in 2014. It is offered, first of all a panoramic view to the pedagogic characteristics of the XX and XXI centuries; it is further presented the most used curricular and methodological patterns in pedagogic practices of many university professors in Western countries; and, with self-evaluation purposes, a preliminary classification is attempted about some methodologies of the XX and XXI centuries which have achieved greater positioning of pedagogic experiences in the Latin American university professors.
