Our multidisciplinary team unveils a groundbreaking pilot study focusing on student self-assessment in General Education Requirements (GER) within a STEM university setting. Recently presented at the Congreso Internacional de Investigación Academia Journals Tláhuac 2023, the research employs a tailored survey based on AAC&U VALUE Rubrics to assess institutional effectiveness. It aims to harmonize educational benchmarks with student self-perception, providing novel insights into pedagogical approaches.
The Educator’s Paradox in 2020
The Educator’s Paradox in 2020 highlights a critical tension: at a moment of profound disruption, students needed educators more—not less. Far from competing with emerging tools or trends, educators were called to mentor their meaningful use, foster resilience, and cultivate the intellectual and ethical capacities students required to navigate uncertainty. This paradox underscores the enduring role of educators as guides through complexity, enabling learners to engage reflectively and responsibly with change rather than being overwhelmed by it.
