Abstract

Since 1947, distance education in Mexico has had an important role for nonconventional populations. Considering that distance education is a heterogeneous and dynamic field, it is important to reflect on the need to improve quality as measured by our own standards. With that perspective in mind, a national meeting was organized to start a self‐diagnosis in which quality and access were the main concerns. Five hundred and twenty specialists from fifty‐one institutions participated in a national interactive synchronous meeting held in four regions. As a result of the meeting, thirty‐five criteria and 230 parameters of quality were established. The main conclusion of the meeting refers to the need for the elaboration of our own indicators for open and distance education.

Resumen

Desde 1947, la educación a distancia ha tenido un rol importante para las poblaciones no convencionales. Tomando en cuenta que la educación a distancia es un campo heterogéneo y dinámico, es importante reflexionar sobre la necesidad de mejorar la calidad dentro de nuestros propios criterios. Con esta perspectiva en mente, se organizó una reunión nacional para iniciar un autodiagnóstico en el cual las preocupaciones más importantes eran la calidad y el acceso. 521 especialistas de 51 instituciones participaron en una reunión nacional sincrónica e interactiva que se realizó en cuatro regiones. Como resultado de esta reunión, se establecieron 35 criterios y 230 parámetros de calidad. La principal conclusión de la reunión se refiere a la necesidad de elaborar nuestros propios indicadores para la educación abierta y a distancia.
