Enterprise resource planning systems (ERPs) have become an essential management tool for large and small companies alike. Although several papers on ERPs have been published in recent decades, only some studies have focused on user satisfaction during post-implementation. Based on the theories of technological acceptance and task-technology fit, we examine how the interrelationship of individual attitudes and matching between task and ERP affects user satisfaction in a public university that adopted an SAP-ERP. We distributed a questionnaire and analyzed the responses of 126 users using a partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM model). Results show that perceived utility and overall benefits significantly predict user satisfaction. Moreover, overall benefits are influenced by the perception of efficiency in the task, improvements in coordination, and strategic alignment. Customization of the system had no statistical effect on the model. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper analyzes the results of the 2018 university admission process in Chile of students belonging to the 10% with the best performance in their graduation schools (Top 10% ranking). Through a descriptive-correlational analysis of PSU scores and enrollment processes, we explore the incidence of school trajectory and socioeconomic profile components in the university access of talented students. The findings highlight the role of parental socio-cultural capital, PSU results and the quality of the school of graduation as factors of segmentation among Top 10% ranking students. The conclusions highlight the difficulties of the educational institution to incorporate added value in vulnerable students, even in spite of the talent deployed, as well as the need to incorporate public policy measures that promote effective access to higher education.

In this paper, we analyze the relationship between leadership and performance in teams of higher education students. For this, first, we conceptualize leadership as an influence process between team members and, second, we model this team process using social network analysis. To study the proposed relationship between leadership and performance, we conducted a study at 164 students of 41 teams of industrial engineering students of two universities in Chile. We analyzed our data using linear regression analysis, and our results showed that leadership network density is positively related to performance, and leadership network centrality is negatively related to performance. These results help teachers, and higher education institutions have a reliable statistical tool to track student leadership development throughout the curriculum. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The knowledge society and globalization have impacted higher education, generating a series of changes in recent decades. These changes make reference to the growing demand, widespread growth of enrollment and diversification of higher education institutions, with or without profit, in addition to a large increase in the presence of universities from private sources. Therefore, universities have different missions, thus forming graduates with heterogeneous quality. The quality assurance, therefore, is seen as crucial to safeguard the quality of the academic training of students. In this sense, the aim of this paper is to generate a ranking of universities, for which a spatial arrangement of 52 Chilean universities is carried out in a scatter plot, using for this purpose the variables of institutional accreditation and return of equity, besides using the average of both. These two aspects conceive in forming four groups of universities, thus generating a new approach for the analysis of existing universities in Chile. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article shows the results of applying social network analysis techniques to explore the antecedents in the formation of collaborative learning networks in Chile. Immersed in learning analytics, the paper indicates a set of individual variables of students that explain the relationship structure between them for the purpose of collaborating in the study. In particular, the study used a Multiple Regression Quadratic Assignment Procedure to analyze a network of students belonging to a Chilean university. The results support the existence of three antecedents in the formation of a network to collaborate in the learning: homophily, closeness in the academic performance and looseness in the happiness level.

This paper shows to what extent a national policy for higher education state funding to finance state owned and private universities members of the Council of Rectors of Chilean Universities (CRUCH) caused economic and territorial impaired resource allocation among institutions. Despite political changes, current funding for higher education policy, implemented more than three decades ago, remains untouched. Correlation analysis of current financing variables, confirms impaired resource allocation among institutions between 2011 and 2012, specially valid for state owned regional universities, verifying "clear initial disadvantages", because of basal resource supply in an offer financing system, showing the greater amount provided to higher complexity institutions, mixing direct funding instruments with subsidies to the demand, grants and credits, in a highly competitive system, with strong effect in the ranking, classification, reputation and social perception of the institutional prestige.

The research context that this article seeks to show the different models of college, from the evolution and development of universities and their management in Latin America, particularly in Chile, and how they affect the development of societies, both past and contemporary, highlighting some similar and different characteristics that they have. It should be noted that the Chilean model of education has been considered to have a great impact on some countries in Latin America, especially in Colombia. Moreover, the general objective of this research was the reflection on the reforms of higher education in Latin America and the impact these reforms have had in recent years in Chile, which seem to have created a high dissatisfaction in the social context, due to the excessive commercialization of educational services. For the development of this paper an extensive review of the literature, which accounts for the phenomenon to be investigated is made and semi-structured interviews were carried out to experts in the field, which helped to understand what authors explain in the literature concerning models and educational reforms in Latin America and the current situation of education in Chile, thereby achieving a clear vision of the reality of the problem.

Th is article is about the contribution of international cooperation--in diverse forms and with various objectives--to intercultural bilingual education (IBE), mainly in Chile. The basis of the article is the historical role of ibe and four experiences in ibe carried out since the 1990s with international support. Such experiences are linked to higher education: one at the undergraduate level, two at the graduate level, and one in intercultural education in communities and their schools as a project of academic development. Methodologically, the paper is based on research, systematization, interviews, and personal experiences. With a critical focus, it describes each experience with international aid, emphasizes the characteristics of the experience's contribution to programs, presents information on results, analyzes, and reaches conclusions about direct and indirect contributions to IBE.

This paper analyses whether the fear of indebtedness resulting from going on to post-secondary education affects potential students' decisions to apply for, and enter into, Higher Education; whether there is any relationship between the fear of indebtedness and the socio-economic level of the families of potential students; and whether there is an association between the fear of indebtedness and student performance. This study shows that the fear of indebtedness for post-secondary studies is not a limiting factor for young people from lower-income sectors to go on to tertiary education. The study also shows that availability of loans facilitates access to Higher Education. These findings contradict the conclusions of studies by Claire Callender and Jonathan Jackson, who previously analysed the British case with the same aims. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The objective of this paper is to offer an overview of higher education reforms in Chile from the 1980s to the present. With the political institutional bias of Augusto Pinochet's regime (1973-1990), a number of State reforms were implemented, being the legal changes in higher education organization one of them. The main characteristics of this model are a wide institutional differentiation, assessment procedures based on exams and accreditation, and diversification of funding sources for public higher education institutions, putting the emphasis on tuition fees (arancelamiento).
