The visit took place between Tuesday, January 12 and Thursday, January 16, and was led by professors Ricardo Vargas Morales (president), María Mireya González Leiva and Manuel Silva Águila.

For two and a half days, the community of the History and Geography Pedagogy program received a visit from the Committee of Peer Evaluators, actively participating in the program of meetings with which the peer evaluators verified the background information presented in the Self-Assessment report and delved deeper understanding the educational project of the career and its results.

The content of the meetings, as well as the exit report of the peer commission, is confidential and constitutes input for the preparation of the report that the CNA will review to determine the years of accreditation.

The visit was carried out in absolute normality and had the technical assistance of the Accreditation Support Office team.

The program is part of the Faculty of Social, Business and Legal Sciences (FACSEJ ULS) and its Dean, Dr. Luperfina Rojas, was grateful for the participation of all the academics who “supported this process that was highly participatory. I thank the students, graduates, employers, practice supervisors and so many people who were at the meetings with peers, where we have had a very extensive learning process, in which we learned our weaknesses and strengths, related to a new renewed study plan , which has been strengthening. The History and Geography degree turned 50 years old and that has shown us that we have managed to train many professionals and contribute to the social, political and educational development of the region and the country.”

Along the same lines, the Director of the Department of Cs. Social, Hernán Cortés, pointed out that “this process synthesizes all the effort that the race team developed and we can demonstrate that we have made significant progress, empowering ourselves with the renewed plan that we have had for two years, integrating research and evidencing achievements in that aspect. ”.

Meanwhile, for the Director of the School of Pedagogy of History and Geography, Dr. Fabián Araya, according to his experience, the accreditation processes are always revealing and are part of a great whole: “Realizing that the work is always constant and that from day one of accreditation we must work for an upcoming self-evaluation process as a permanent practice where we all form an important part of it. This accreditation process has been different, due to the national contingency and the series of internal events of the race, but the commitment of all those who participated is appreciated.”
