El Observatorio Cultural de la UNACAR: una herramienta estratégica para la formación integral y el cumplimiento del ODS 4

Abstract

This research reports the results of the first phase of the Cultural Observatory at the Universidad Autónoma del Carmen (UNACAR), focused on generating a systematic diagnosis of its students' cultural consumption to optimize the curricular Comprehensive Training Activities (AFI). These results contribute to the fulfillment of indicators in the Institutional Development Plan and align with the 2030 Agenda, specifically with Sustainable Development Goal 4 (SDG 4), which seeks to ensure inclusive, equitable, and quality education. The methodology employed was a mixed approach, combining qualitative techniques (focus groups and semantic field analysis) and the application of an online questionnaire to a sample of 182 university students. The findings show a palpable disconnection between the institutional offerings and students' post-pandemic habits, with 70.1% of the sample considering their faculty's offerings to be insufficient. This data is crucial for the strategic design of the AFI, contributing to the achievement of SDG 4 by enhancing the quality and relevance of comprehensive training. The Cultural Observatory is thus established as a key space for the analysis and continuous improvement of UNACAR's curricular offerings.
