Quality Assurance System
Geography and History Section
Clarification note:
After the approval of the "Internal Regulations" of the Faculty of Humanities, the Geography and History section maintains the Internal Quality Assurance System (SGIC) formally established and implemented by the former faculty, until the formation of the new Dean's Team.
The Faculty of Geography and History at the University of La Laguna (ULL) is committed to providing high-quality education. To this end, it has established an Internal Quality Assurance System (IQAS) to guarantee the continuous improvement of the three undergraduate degrees and Master's programs offered at the Faculty, with the aim of achieving a level of excellence that enables the accreditation and maintenance of the degrees for which it is responsible.
According to the procedure designed by the National Agency for Quality Assessment and Accreditation (ANECA), the accreditation of an official Bachelor's or Master's degree program is structured around several quality criteria that are integrated into the Internal Quality Assurance System. For accreditation, it must be demonstrated that those responsible for the curriculum to be accredited have established an Internal Quality Assurance System (IQAS) that allows them to analyze deviations from the planned activities and identify areas for improvement. This system also makes it possible to define and implement proposals for the continuous improvement of the curriculum. To this end, the following mechanisms exist:
The basic document of the SGIC implemented in the Faculty of Geography and History is the Quality Manual (QM), defining in it the general characteristics of the system, requirements, references to generic documentation or procedures.
The SGIC documentation is completed with a Procedures Manual (PM) composed of a series of documents that are continually referenced in the MC and the list of indicators that will allow the measurement of the results of the Center's activity.
For their advice on tasks related to the design, implementation, maintenance and improvement of the Quality and Teaching Innovation Management System of the Faculty of Geography and History, the Dean and the Coordinator of Quality and Teaching Innovation of the Faculty have the authority and responsibility to:
The Quality Manager will have the following functions:
The Faculty of Geography and History at the University of La Laguna has as its primary mission to respond to the needs of society in general, and of the Canary Islands in particular, in the areas of education, research, dissemination, knowledge transfer, and innovation in Geography and Spatial Planning, History, and Art History. Among its objectives is to remain a leading university in the quality and commitment to the continuous improvement of its education, research, and dissemination activities, adapting to the demands of integration into the European Higher Education Area.
The Dean's Office of the Faculty of Geography and History at the University of La Laguna, aware of the importance of quality processes in education, focuses its efforts on fully satisfying the needs and reasonable expectations of all its stakeholders. To this end, it is committed to using all available resources to implement a culture of quality, in accordance with current legislation at the regional, national, and European levels.
Therefore, the Dean's Office of the Faculty of Geography and History of the University of La Laguna establishes the following general guidelines for achieving the quality objectives that constitute the quality policy of the Center in relation to the new Bachelor's and Postgraduate studies:
The Quality Manual (QM) is the basic document that serves as a reference and from which all the necessary actions to ensure that the teachings provided by the Faculty of Geography and History are in accordance with the guidelines that define them and satisfy the needs and expectations of the stakeholders are derived.
The MC is the document that expresses in an orderly manner the scope of the SGIC of the Faculty, and therefore, constitutes the documentary basis of the same.
Part of the MC is the definition of the quality policy and objectives of the Faculty of Geography and History, prepared and reviewed as indicated in procedure PR-01 “Definition of the Quality Policy and Objectives”.
The Quality Manual of the Faculty of Geography and History is managed, used and distributed in accordance with the provisions of procedure PR-00 “Procedure for the Management of Documents and Evidence”.
This Quality Manual is reviewed on a complete document basis, except for the appendices, which will have their own pagination and review process. The Quality Manager is responsible for keeping the appendices of the Quality Manual up to date. During the review of the Quality Management System documentation, which is carried out according to procedure PR-16, "Procedure for Measuring and Analyzing Results," the Quality Manual should be reviewed to make improvement proposals, if necessary.
The Dean must ensure that all members of the Faculty (teaching and research staff, administrative and service staff and students) have access to the MC, and will therefore provide an appropriate place on the Faculty website where an updated version of it is displayed and will ensure that changes to its wording are communicated by the appropriate means.
