Abstract

En el programa de Administración de Empresas que ofrece la Universidad del Tolima (Ibagué–Tolima, Colombia), se aplicó la metodología usada por el Grupo de Investigación Interinstitucional de Competencias (GRIICA-Colombia), con el fin de determinar las competencias específicas que los estudiantes consideran más importantes a ser desarrolladas en las áreas de formación que componen la estructura curricular del programa. La información se colectó mediante una encuesta estructurada aplicada al 49,6 % de los estudiantes matriculados en el periodo A-2015. La información se procesó con el programa estadístico SPSS (Versión 21, 2012). Se encontró que las competencias específicas ponderadas por los estudiantes con alta importancia tenían un nivel de desempeno suficiente en el programa de Administración de Empresas de la Universidad del Tolima. No obstante, es necesario plantear una estrategia para incrementar el desempeno de tales competencias, en cada una de las áreas de formación dentro de la estructura curricular del programa académico, más aún cuando se trabaja en pro de la acreditación de calidad del mismo. ******** In the Business Administration academic program offered by the University of Tolima (Ibagué-Tolima, Colombia), a methodological framework was used by the Interinstitutional Research Group on Competencies –GRIICA-Colombia–, in order to identify the most important specific competencies that students considered must be developed in training areas that compose the curricular structure of the program. Data collection was made by using a structured survey applied to 49,6 % of the students enrolled in the A-2015 academic period. The statistical program SPSS (version 21, 2012) was used for data processing. It was found that specific competencies weighted with high importance by the students had a sufficient level of performance in the Business Administration program at the University of Tolima. However, it is necessary to propose a strategy to increase the performance of these specific competencies in each of training areas within the curricular structure of the academic program, especially working towards quality accreditation.
