Educational quality: documentary research from a socioformative perspective

Abstract

The objective of the review article is to analyze the concept of educational quality from a socioformative perspective. A documentary analysis was carried out as a study methodology following the eight axes of conceptual cartography. The main results indicate that, from the socioformative perspective, educational quality is focused on getting all educational actors working collaboratively in the development of their talent and in solving problems in their immediate context, so this should not be reduced to results obtained in massive tests or in the obtaining documents that support the certification and accreditation of institutional processes. In conclusion, it is suggested to develop new theoretical and empirical studies that support a concept of educational quality in accordance with the challenges and problems of the knowledge society, as proposed by the socioformative perspective.
