Fragments de coneixement (Knowledge Fragments)
What is it?
'Fragments de coneixement' (Knowledge Fragments) is a new series of outreach publications from AQU Catalunya created to share the knowledge that the Agency generates or acquires from relevant aspects of the Catalan university system.
Purpose of the series
Among AQU Catalunya’s functions are the observation and analysis of trends in higher education, the generation of knowledge, and the dissemination of public information that contributes to accountability to society. Within this framework, the Agency accesses and generates valuable knowledge that it aims to make available to the university system. 'Fragments de coneixement' was created with this purpose: to turn AQU Catalunya into a catalyst for the dissemination of knowledge within the Catalan university system.
Series
Graduate satisfaction regarding the gender perspective
The first issue of the series analyses the satisfaction of bachelor’s and master’s graduates from the Catalan university system —from the 2022–2023 academic year and surveyed in 2024— regarding the incorporation of the gender perspective into their studies. The study is based on the annual Bachelor and Master's graduate satisfaction survey (launched in 2015) and includes a specific module with responses from 5,652 bachelor’s graduates and 3,440 master’s graduates, allowing different aspects of their learning experience related to this perspective to be measured.
The module includes six questions on issues such as the presence of female role models, the use of inclusive language, and the absence of stereotypes in teaching materials, with ratings from 0 to 5 according to the level of satisfaction. The data obtained make it possible to generate useful indicators to identify areas for improvement and guide stakeholders in the university system in enhancing quality, as well as to analyse differences between educational subfields to better understand how these gaps are distributed across fields of knowledge.
