Retos del modelo de educación dual en la zona de influencia del Instituto Tecnológico José Mario Molina Pasquel y Henriquez campus Arandas

Abstract

Dual education is an educational model that consists of investing time in professional training, not only in the classroom but also in industry by students, under a framework regulated by the Academy and the Company, sometimes with government support. It is a German model that has been imported into Latin America and Mexico in recent decades. The National Technological Institute of Mexico made its program official in 2015 as the Dual Education Model (MEDTecNM®) and between 2019-2020 the first generations will begin to graduate under this modality; given the number of Technological Institutes (254 throughout the country), this regional vocation that they contain and the business characteristics of their area of ​​influence makes the Dual Education Model become very particular for each Technological Institute: based on the characteristics of its area of ​​influence, the type of companies and their location, as well as the will and scope of participation; the capacity of the Technological Institute itself and its teachers to link; the careers offered at the Technological Institute; the type of government participation (if any) and finally the context and disposition of the students are identified as the main factors to be considered in a Dual Education Program for each Technological Institute. The objective of this project is to determine the implementation elements characteristic of MEDTecNM®, which are difficult to comply with, the benefits provided to the actors involved and finally some viable alternatives for its execution in the environment of influence of the José Mario Molina Pasquel y Henríquez Technological Institute Campus Arandas in the State of Jalisco, Mexico.
