The public university and the challenge of social investment projects

Journal Title: Prohominum - Year 2022, Vol 4, Issue 4

Abstract

In order to achieve all these attributions and competencies of today's university, efficient and effective action and management mechanisms are required; a flexible and humanistic model is necessary in the paradigms that govern this institution for the transcendental changes demanded by societies. To this end, social projects are considered as tools for innovation and learning, which involve experience as a fundamental part of knowledge. The objective was to analyze, based on a literature review, the performance of public universities in social investment projects. Methodologically, it corresponded to a quantitative study supported by a bibliographic review of the analytical-descriptive type with reference to the descriptors related to the topic. As results, several references related to the efficiency of universities as educational institutions were identified among the literature consulted. Other references deal with technical efficiency, allocative efficiency and economic efficiency and it is precisely in these criteria that relevant information is found on the university's perspective on social projects. Inconclusion, universities face great challenges today, among them in the development of capacities as an institution that imparts knowledge, which should be oriented towards self-management for the attainment of resources that allow the pursuit of teachingfrom the practices of knowledge itself
