Quality and academic impact of the faculties of Social Sciences and Humanities


Organisational tensions in the context of academic evaluation and academic capitalism


General Objetive

GO: Explain how the FCSH adapts organisationally to the Chilean context and addresses its demands for competitive performance by seeking to maintain or improve the quality and impact of its work through evaluative context management. 

Specific Objetives

SO1: Determine whether the FCSH's strategic plans incorporate changes in the CA environment, how they understand these changes, and how they propose to address them in the short and medium term.
SO2: Determine the extent to which the FCSH have professionalised their management and adopted new academic management tools in response to these changes, and the effects of these changes.
SO3: Identify the specific strategies deployed by Chilean FCSHs to maximise the acquisition of resources necessary to maintain and improve quality, and to increase the impact of their teaching, research and outreach output. In particular, identify how they create performance evaluation contexts to meet the competitive performance requirements imposed by the CA in its current phase.
SO4: Understand how the managers, teachers and researchers of Chilean FCSH specifically evaluate the academic, social, political and economic impact of the research carried out by their members, and the devices (information, indicators and procedures) they use for this purpose.
SO5: Understand the tensions that arise between managers and academics when using these evaluative contexts and devices, and how these are interpreted by the organisation.
