Abstract
Evaluating the quality of education contributes to the detection, as well as to the improvement or solution of failures in the educational system of
schools. Likewise, teacher training is one of the main axes of educational quality. Objective: To evaluate educational quality through the degree of satisfaction of students and teachers. Methodology: An instrument based on a Likert scale was applied to 304 students and 198 teachers of the 18 largest private universities located in the city of Culiacán, Sinaloa. The research was carried out from the observational analytical method, including a cross-sectional and quantitative study of descriptive scope. Results: The results show that in the classrooms there is a heterogeneity of students with very particular interests and needs, while on the side of the educational institutions the interests do not always agree with these needs and interests, and even less with the formative education of the teachers. Conclusions: the crucial role of teachers and educational institutions in meeting the goals set for undergraduate students is recognized; at the same time, a permanent evaluation of educational quality and teacher training is required.
