Resumen

Evaluation is a determining process of quality in higher education institutions. However, identifying the impact that the university has on the extended community is still a more difficult challenge to overcome. The aim of this research is to design an impact evaluation of a higher education program in the region, based on indicators of social appropriation of knowledge and common good. A qualitative methodology is used from the creation and adaptation of descriptive indicators that provide a contextual and interpretative framework of the results. At the end, a reliable and groundbreaking proposal is obtained, which does not intend a homogenizing application of indicators, but rather an emancipatory exercise of recognition for continuous improvement.
