Resumen
Las funciones de investigación, docencia y extensión de las instituciones académicas pueden considerarse equivalentes a las funciones que caracterizan los sistemas de conocimiento, como la generación, difusión y utilización de la información. Un paradigma holístico para evaluar las funciones de las facultades de veterinaria y las orientaciones de la práctica profesional requeriría datos sobre la generación, difusión y utilización de nueva información (investigación), así como sobre su aplicación en la práctica profesional. Además, la teoría indica que las mediciones del entorno de un sistema de conocimiento pueden utilizarse para determinar si este satisface las necesidades del entorno. Una evaluación de las necesidades sociales potenciales de experiencia veterinaria puede complementar una evaluación holística de los sistemas de conocimiento veterinario. El estudio aquí presentado evaluó las orientaciones de las facultades de veterinaria, las cuales se han desarrollado a partir de perspectivas históricas que pueden haber influido en las instituciones estudiadas.
Research, teaching, and extension functions of academic institutions can be viewed to correspond to functions that characterize knowledge systems, such as the generation, dissemination, and utilization of information.' A holistic paradigm to evaluate functions of veterinary colleges and orientations of professional practice would require that data be provided on generation of new information (the research function), dissemination of new information (teaching and extension), and utilization of new information (professional practice). In addition, theory indicates that measurements of the environment surrounding a knowledge system may be used to determine whether the system meets the needs of the environment.? An assessment of potential societal needs for veterinary expertise may complement a holistic evaluation of veterinary knowledge systems. The study reported here assessed tions of veterinary colleges, which have developed on historically based perspectives that may have influenced the institutions under study.
