Curricular relevance of the administrative computer career of URACCAN, Bilwi Campus

Abstract

The pertinence of the curriculum of the Administrative Computing career at the University of the Autonomous Regions of the Caribbean Coast of Nicaragua (URACCAN), Bilwi Campus, has been investigated. The study was qualitative, evaluative and transversal; the purpose was to study the pertinence of the curriculum of this career in the campus. The data collection techniques were based on interviews, focus groups and document review. For information processing matrix table was used to make a critical analysis of the results. The main finding of the study has shown that the curriculum of the career of Administrative Computing has several positive aspects. However, this is irrelevant, since the evaluation of the external dimension is pertinent, contrary to the internal and administrative dimensions. As the three dimensions should be closely interrelated and in the absence of one of these dimensions it affects the pertinence of the entire curriculum. This research is useful because it has provided inputs to URACCAN, in order to do the curricular readjustment of the Administrative Computing career.
