Abstract

Taking into account the interest in impact measurement processes in the educational field, an evaluative exercise from a mixed perspective is proposed from UNIMINUTO, where a quasi-experimental, non-probabilistic design was used, with a control group. not equivalent and with a subsequent measurement process through retrospective techniques. The goal of this exercise was to measure the social impact of said institution in the processes of social transformation, based on social responsibility practices in Bogotá, oriented from a training component that includes two subjects (Contemporary Social Development and Responsibility Practice Social) that in turn ensure the dynamics of Social Projection carried out by the Institution in various communities in Colombia. The investigative process had a comparative analysis with external entities to see from other perspectives the unique mark that the UNIMINUTO leaves in its social aspect in students, teachers and communities; evidencing difficulty in making comparisons with other universities, for this reason anonymous surveys and a focus group were used, which respected the fact that the participants did not specify the universities from which they come.
