Sistematización de Prácticas Universidad Santo Tomás

Abstract

To summarize the systematization of experiences carried out at the Universidad Santo Tomás, specifically within the Faculty of Sociology, this report presents an analysis of the central issue identified in the process: the difficulty and unavailability of information within the university, as well as the lack of integration and organization of institutional documentation. Based on this problem, the following objectives were established: i) To examine existing databases and the available information sources in order to typify and categorize the data. ii) To classify the information gathered so far and distribute it appropriately. iii) To organize the collected information to ensure thorough quality control. iv) To describe this information to provide proper direction and utility. Additionally, a quantitative approach was applied, as it is considered the most appropriate for this type of research. Among the results of the organization of the syllabus-related information, filtered databases were obtained, using categorization criteria based on academic terms and years. A cross-referencing process was also conducted, comparing the undergraduate and master’s thesis databases with the content available on the university's CRAI (Center for Learning and Research Resources) website. The practice carried out at the University ultimately contributes to strengthening professional competencies and allows for meaningful contributions to the Faculty.
