Institutional Development Plan 2023 - 2026
The Institutional Development Plan 2023-2026, articulated with the Annual Action Plan and the Technological Development Plan, is a navigation chart that allows us to demonstrate the true potential of the academic commitment of the University Foundation for Research, Technological Development and Innovation, IDITEK, and that will make it possible for us to consolidate ourselves as a Third Generation University Institution, innovative, transformative, young, dynamic, social and cultural that frames all its efforts around contributing to the competitiveness and productivity of the sectors in which it is inserted, under research and technological development approaches.
The construction of this Plan
With the construction of this Plan, we begin our institutional cycle of planning, execution, self-evaluation and planning, with a view to ensuring quality and high quality from the cooperative and collaborative work of the IDITEK university community. This inter and multidisciplinary effort is undoubtedly a sign of the commitment of its Founders and Managers, with higher education and with the country.
The 2023-2026 PDI will begin its validity in a country that yearns to achieve substantial changes and profound social transformations, in the areas of peace and reconciliation, which is why IDITEK is an active part of this work, based on four fundamental axes: a) the management and conservation of Innovation (Science, technology and innovation from projects), b) Multidisciplinary Pedagogical Innovation Processes (pedagogical practice + ICT + research), c) educational collaboration and transformation (as a cross-cutting axis) and, d) management of employability contexts, Opportunities and job placement (learning by doing).
This nascent project is managed from an institutional environment of planning, well-being, social projection, research, training and transformation under defined criteria of quality and innovation are consolidated as part of the institutional culture that strengthens us and allows us to achieve the goals set.

why it works?
Simple, is the Next Generation of education
NEW TECHNOLOGIES
This policy allows for the development of the transformation, modification and social appropriation of new technologies and production processes, their management and development, the creation of ventures and innovations from transformational management (substantial functions) within pedagogical practices and the curricular development of each of the academic programs promoted by the Schools in IDITEK (both for face-to-face and virtual scenarios).
GENERATION OF KNOWLEDGE
This allows IDITEK to dialogue in a scenario of business competitiveness, transfer and technology, promoting the generation of knowledge, and increasing added value through research, teaching and extension, as the basis of a process of social appropriation and technological management that results in the transformation of the economy based on technological development.
GENERAL OBJECTIVE
To strengthen the activity of transfer of theoretical and practical knowledge, from comprehensive training based on pedagogical scenarios and practices based on research, technological development and innovation. in-person or virtual, increasing strategic, tactical and administrative capacities from the integration of the productive and business sectors with a focus on innovative creative businesses, knowledge management, and inter-institutional cooperation with the aim of transforming the actions and processes of economic and social sustainability.
- It promotes R&D&I and inter-institutional projects.
- It promotes the management of research centers to streamline the process of knowledge and technology transfer.
- It structures the transfer of knowledge and technology by protecting intellectual property through the Research Results Transfer Offices (OTRI).
- It promotes public-private cooperation (4H) university-Technological Centers-Company-Communities-industry.
- It supports and co-manages the intellectual and industrial property of new innovative technology-based companies developed as a result of institutional or joint research.
- It guarantees the responsible sale of copyright and intellectual property assets.
- Generates concrete actions for the licensing of intellectual property assets derived from technological research.
- Guarantees the consolidation of national and international inter-institutional and business collaboration agreements.
IDITEK's differentiating factors
The members of the IDITEK community are committed to fulfilling their responsibilities and duties arising from their functions and employment contracts, which must be aligned and adjusted in their performance, with the postulates established in the General Statute, the regulations and the development of the Good Government, Governance and Accountability Model.
IDITEK adopts the Productive Transformational Training Pedagogical Model (FTP + Learning by Doing) based on constructivism and the concretion of learning results for professional practice, associated with critical reflection on the learning process. This model of knowledge transformation and transfer of learning results is managed from an active, affective, effective, productive and collaborative training model, which allows the incorporation of business needs and disciplinary practice to the solution of real problems in society, business and industry.
Thus, by creating this new model of IDITEK, it allows the teacher and the student to work systemically and in a coordinated manner to satisfy social and business needs, enhancing the dimensions of being through assertive, creative and innovative professional and training practice, developing, based on inter and multidisciplinary concepts and theories, technological developments that enhance knowledge management, professional skills and social and cultural attitudes of the subject, from a business and productive approach.
For the University Foundation for Research, Technological Development and Innovation, IDITEK, the teaching-learning process (didactics) is motivated by the management and consolidation of actions and processes from practices that students carry out during the development of each of the training courses (Bain, K., 2005), generating products necessary to solve theoretical and real problems of the sectors in which the discipline or the project in which it is inserted is applied.
In this context, of the Productive Transformational Training Pedagogical Model (FTP + Learning by Doing), new analyses of the productive and business reality of the contexts in which the interest groups or eco-management and transformations IDITEK have an impact are conceived, managed, executed and promoted, achieving a true insertion of university knowledge in the solution of real and transcendental problems of society and the country, facing the regional bets of sustainability and employability.
To put this process into practice in the classroom, teachers and students are placed in a creative, scientific and technological environment for knowledge management with the support of mediations and collaborative work tools (laboratories), the purpose of which is to define theoretical-practical, functional and applicable alternatives, based on the focused, analyzed and theorized problems, going through a comprehensive process of prototyping and implementation of solutions in controlled and simulated environments (FTP + learning by doing).
In this way, the interest groups that are part of the University Foundation for Research, Technological Development and Innovation, IDITEK, develop competencies, skills and learning results whose practical application in business and production reality is visible from a perspective of efficiency, effectiveness, quality and relevance.
In order to consolidate its Pedagogical Model, the University Foundation for Research, Technological Development and Innovation, IDITEK, starts from the basis of a critical analysis of the classic paradigms of University management (Ackoff & Gharajedaghi, 1984; Taylor, 1911; Ford, 1911; Fayol, 1916; Drucker, 1999a b; and Mintzberg, 1982) going through some variations of these from the active and participatory organizational management (Simon, 1962; Cherns, 1976; Ackoff, 2010; Hersscher, 2005; Sallán and Rodríguez-Gómez, 2011) to re-direct its pedagogical process towards an approach much more focused on the productive and business reality of modern contexts and interest groups, based on the postulates of Schank, R., (2011), Dewey (2004), Casassus (2000) and Silvera (2017).
This implies systemic and interdisciplinary dialogue that enables communication between the dimensions of being with the management and transformation needs of the productive sectors and communities (4-helix model). In this way, the Productive Transformational Training Pedagogical Model (FTP) is based on the following elements:
Technological orientation
For the IDITEK curriculum, the Technological Infrastructure and the Management of its consolidation allows work environments to enhance the transformation of Higher Education, through the positioning of the organization and its results, achieving greater business and productive integration from the cooperative work of all the actors in the system of practices and transformation.
