Abstract

Abstract

La industria gráfica ha sufrido cambios muy importantes en los últimos años principalmente debido a la aparición de nuevas tecnologías y a la evolución de los hábitos de consumo.

Las instituciones académicas deben conocer e incorporar esos cambios en sus programas de manera que formen profesionales preparados para cubrir las demandas y las expectativas que les va a pedir los usuarios.

Una manera de ver como adaptarse a este cambio es estudiar como lo han hecho instituciones académicas en países donde por un lado existe una mayor conexión entre el mundo académico y el profesional y por otro los avances tecnológicos han sido incorporados antes por los usuarios finales.

Los principales objetivos de este estudio eran:

• Estudiar las titulaciones que se están ofreciendo en Norteamérica y Norte de Europa en el sector Gráfico.

• Analizar cuales son los conceptos a los que se les da un mayor peso dentro de estas carreras estableciendo una cierta cuantificación.

• Realizar un listado de conceptos, palabras clave o “key words” referenciado universidades y cursos específicos donde se tratan esos conceptos.

Las principales conclusiones obtenida del análisis de los programas fueron:

• Es complicado obtener información detallada de los programas ofertados por las universidades europeas.

• Existe una ruptura entre la parte de diseño y la parte de producción, con un mayor peso de la primera.

• Se da poco peso a la enseñanza de software específico primándose más la parte de concepto, o la de integración de procesos.

• El Diseño Web y multimedia ya está presente en todos los programas con un peso significativo.

• La dedicación de tiempo asignada a formarse en la tecnología de impresión flexográfica supera a la tecnología Offset.

• Dentro de los procesos de impresión, se da mayor importancia a como interactúan las materias primas (tinta y papel) que al propio sistema específico de impresión.

• Los acabados tienen un peso específico importante.

• Se consideran necesarios conocimientos de componente industrial del proceso (gestión de costes, gestión de producción, aspectos empresariales, etc.) junto con gestión de bases de datos.

Además de las conclusiones obtenidas, el estudio ha generado también un glosario de palabras clave o “key words” que puede resultar de gran utilidad.


Introducción y utilidad del estudio

Introducción y utilidad del estudio

La industria gráfica ha estado inmersa en un entorno muy dinámico e inestable desde hace más de una década. Esto se debe, entre otras razones, al desarrollo tecnológico y a los cambios en los hábitos de consumo.

Este entorno no es el mejor ni para la industria gráfica ni para los centros de formación. Las instituciones académicas tienen muchas dudas con respecto a las habilidades que deben impartir a los estudiantes. Cada institución está tratando de organizar el mejor plan de estudios por su cuenta.

La realización de un estudio comparativo de los contenidos más relevantes enseñados en otras instituciones puede ser muy útil, bien para reafirmarse en el actual plan de estudios, bien para incorporar nuevos contenidos.

Objetivos del estudio

Los principales objetivos que se plantean en este estudio son:

• Estudiar las titulaciones que se están ofreciendo en Norteamérica y Norte de Europa en el Sector Gráfico, comprobando si existe una cierta uniformidad en los conceptos enseñados en distintas universidades.

• Analizar los conceptos a los que se les da un mayor peso en estas carreras y establecer una cierta cuantificación.

• Realizar un listado de conceptos, palabras clave o “key words” referenciado universidades y cursos específicos donde se tratan esos conceptos.

Limitaciones del estudio.

A la hora de realizar este estudio se han dado una serie de limitaciones. Algunas se detectaron antes del inicio del proyecto y otras se descubrieron al obtener la información. Las limitaciones más importantes han sido:

• El Proyecto se reduce al estudio de los currículos que se están ofreciendo actualmente en las distintas instituciones académicas. Por lo tanto, los resultados no tienen en cuenta cómo han evolucionado estos currículos en el tiempo.

• Con el fin de estudiar currículos comparables en todas las universidades, se han omitido programas Máster, y se han analizado sólo los estudios denominados “Bachelor”, que serían los equivalentes a los grados en la estructura académica universitaria actual.

• Sólo se ha tenido en cuenta para el estudio aquellos cursos que eran obligatorios para la obtención de la titulación pertinente y que estaban relacionados de alguna manera con el sector gráfico. Por lo tanto, no se han considerado ni las materias opcionales, ni las materias troncales ajenas a la industria gráfica, como pudieran ser literatura o matemáticas.

• El equipo investigador sólo ha podido tener acceso a la información detallada de currículos norteamericanos, Estados Unidos y Canadá, pero no a los europeos como era la intención inicial.

• Baja respuesta por parte de las universidades a las estimaciones realizadas por el equipo investigador. Quizá motivado por el corto plazo desde que se mandaron las propuestas hasta que se escribieron las conclusiones.


Revisión literatura

Revisión de la literatura existente

Unos de los principales retos que tiene que afrontar la educación en la industria gráfica son los profundos cambios tecnológicos y de hábitos de consumo que llevarán a importantes cambios en las estrategias de las empresas y en las necesidades de los puestos de trabajo (European Commision, 2009). Estos cambios no se están reflejando en las publicaciones académicas (Steele. C, 2004)

Las empresas del sector gráfico están abriéndose a realizar otros trabajos que antes no hacían, tanto en el campo creativo como en el de comercio electrónico (PGSF, 2010).

Como consecuencia de todo esto, la industria está demandando a los nuevos trabadores que contrata unas habilidades distintas a las que demandaban recientemente (Frey & Chrstensen, 2008).

Gran parte de la formación se realiza dentro de la misma empresa por parte de los propios compañeros o por los fabricantes de los equipos (Callan, 2007), pero esa formación no les capacita para un aprovechamiento óptimo de las nuevas tecnologías (Frey & Chrstensen, 2008).

A todos estos factores hay que añadir una imagen muy mala del sector percibida por los usuarios (Callan, 2007), lo que genera una crisis de recursos humanos en el sector (Walker & Sorce), con dificultades para encontrar personas con la capacitación adecuada.

Es por ello de vital importancia que las instituciones académicas se paren a estudiar cuales son los conocimientos y habilidades que el sector requiere y que actualicen los contenidos para preparar a operarios que puedan satisfacer esas necesidades. También es importante eliminar barreras para que muchas personas puedan seguir formándose en su vida laboral. Una vía importante es la potenciación de la formación on-line (European Commision, 2009) que disminuya las dificultades de movilidad y horarios.

Metodología

Para evaluar el peso o la importancia que se asigna a cada concepto se utilizó el porcentaje de tiempo dedicado. Se parte de la premisa de que cuanto más importancia se le asigne a un determinado contenido mayor tiempo se le dedicará.

Con el fin de poder comparar de forma cuantitativa los contenidos enseñados en las distintas instituciones académicas se definieron una serie de Contenidos Relevantes. Posteriormente se estudió cada asignatura de los programas elegidos distribuyendo el tiempo dedicado entre los Contenidos Relevantes. Mediante este proceso se obtenía la distribución de tiempo que cada universidad dedicaba a cada uno de los Contenidos Relevantes

Las etapas seguidas para la obtención de estos objetivos han sido:

1. Elaboración de un primer borrador de Contenidos Relevantes

2. Obtención de los currículos detallados de las Universidades.

3. Adecuación de los Contenidos Relevantes en función de datos obtenidos.

4. Distribución de contenidos de cada universidad en los Contenidos Relevantes.

5. Confección de la tabla comparativa y obtención de resultados.

6. Contraste externo.


Metodología

FASE 1. Elaboración de un primer borrador de Contenidos Relevantes.

Expertos de ITGT realizaron un primer borrador de Contenidos Relevantes a partir del estudio de los currículos de dos universidades que impartían conocimientos de todo el proceso gráfico.

El objetivo de estos Contenidos Relevantes es que sirvan como unidades de conocimiento básicas que puedan usarse para comparar los distintos curriculos manejando un lenguaje común. Los Contenidos Relevantes deben ser lo suficientemente específicos como para que la mayoría de asignaturas impartidas en el resto de universidades se puedan descomponer en dichos Contenidos Relevantes.

Los Contenidos Relevantes se agruparon en cuatro grandes familias:

• Contenidos referidos a la preimpresión. Desde la parte creativa hasta la generación de la forma impresora.

• Contenidos referidos a los procesos de impresión y acabados.

• Contenidos referidos al proceso de producción, más allá del proceso propio de impresión.

• Otros aspectos referidos a la industria gráfica no asignables específicamente a ninguno de los tres apartados anteriores.

FASE 2. Obtención de los currículos detallados de las Universidades.

La búsqueda de universidades y de los contenidos ofrecidos se realizó en base a los siguientes criterios:

• Universidades que hubieran participado con cierta asiduidad en conferencias de prestigio internacional como TAGA.

• Universidades de reconocido prestigio aunque no hubieran participado en estas conferencias.

• Universidades del norte de Europa de las que se tuviera constancia que tenían programas en el sector gráfico.

• Universidades americanas que ofrecían cursos relacionados con la industria gráfica y publicados en el Print and Graphics Scholarship Foundation, seleccionando entre las que ofrecieran mayor variedad de procesos en sus programas.

La información detallada de los programas y los cursos se obtuvieron, bien desde las páginas web de dichas instituciones, bien de la información suministrada por los órganos de dirección de estas organizaciones.

A la hora de obtener los contenidos impartidos por las universidades buscadas, el equipo investigador se encontró con una serie de limitaciones, como por ejemplo:

• Algunas de las instituciones académicas con mayor participación en congresos internacionales de la industria gráfica no ofertaban cursos específicos relacionados con la industria gráfica, sino que su conexión era a través de otros sectores como el papelero. Por ejemplo, la universidad de Grenoble, en Francia, con una importante participación en el sector gráfico oferta principalmente cursos para la industria papelera. Otras instituciones de gran relevancia internacional no ofertan cursos universitarios. Este es el caso por ejemplo de FOGRA y UGRA en Europa, o de PIA, GATF en USA.

• Las instituciones europeas no tienen publicados contenidos detallados de sus currículos en sus páginas web —o al menos el equipo investigador no fue capaz de encontrarlo en inglés—, ni respondieron a las solicitudes de información enviadas. No se pudo obtener información de ninguna de ellas. Por el contrario, las universidades norteamericanas (Estados Unidos y Canadá), sí tenían


Metodología

descripciones detalladas de sus cursos y respondieron en varios casos a la solicitud de información más pormenorizada. El listado de universidades europeas de las que se intentó sin éxito obtener una descripción detallada de sus programas es el siguiente:

• London College of Communication (UK)

• University of Dalarna (Suecia)

• Linkoping University (Suecia)

• The Graphic Arts Institute of Denmark (Dinamarca)

• Helsinki University of Technology (Finlandia)

• Federal Institute of Technology (Suiza)

• Grenoble Institute of Technology (Francia)

El listado final de universidades en las que se ha podido obtener información, y por lo tanto, sobre las que se ha basado el estudio es el siguiente:

• Appalachian State University

• California Polytechnic

• Eastern Illinois University

• Mineapolis College of Art & Design

• North Carolina Agricultutal & Technical University

• Northeastern State University

• Pennsylvania State University

• Plymouth State University

• Rochester Institute of Technology

• Ryerson University

• The Art Institute of Pittsburg

• The College of New Jersey

• University of North Dakota

En el anexo I se ha incluido una tabla con los datos de los programas que oferta cada universidad: Nombre exacto, titulación que oferta.

FASE 3. Adecuación de los Contenidos.

En función de los contenidos observados en las universidades seleccionadas se realizó una actualización de los Contenidos Relevantes. Consistió, básicamente, en desglosar los contenidos referentes al diseño, ya que una gran parte de los temarios caía dentro de esa clasificación y podría ser interesante un mayor detalle.


Metodología

FASE 4. Distribución de contenidos de cada universidad.

Tras obtener la información de todas las universidades, el equipo investigador fue desglosando el contenido de cada curso en función de la descripción obtenida y distribuyendo cada curso, de forma proporcional, en los Contenidos Relevantes que se abordaban en él.

Tras este proceso se obtuvo una tabla por cada universidad, en la que cada curso estaba distribuido proporcionalmente en los distintos contenidos relevantes. A continuación, el documento se remitió a cada centro por si querían hacer alguna corrección a la distribución estimada por el equipo investigador.

Una vez realizadas las correcciones propuestas por cada universidad, asignando esa proporción al número de créditos de cada curso, se obtenía la distribución apropiada entre los distintos Contenidos Relevantes.

Como los créditos no representan una misma dedicación de horas en todas las universidades, fue necesario, para poder compararlas, diseñar una segunda tabla donde los créditos dedicados a cada Contenido Relevante se expresaron en porcentaje respecto a los créditos totales dedicados a contenidos estudiados. Este segundo cuadro muestra como divide su tiempo cada universidad entre los Contenidos Relevantes. La distribución porcentual del tiempo dedicado a cada materia es la que se ha utilizado como elemento comparativo entre universidades y como herramienta de estudio para deducir la importancia asignada a cada Contenido Relevante. Se asume la hipótesis de que existe una relación directa entre la importancia atribuida a un determinado concepto y el porcentaje de tiempo dedicado a ese concepto.

Se estudiaron exclusivamente los relacionados con la industria gráfica y que tenían carácter obligatorio para la obtención de la titulación ofertada por la universidad. Los motivos por los que se realizó esta reducción son los siguientes:

• El objeto del proyecto era analizar el peso que le daban instituciones académicas a los distintos conceptos involucrados en el proceso gráfico, no qué otros conceptos distintos de los puramente gráficos debe tener un profesional de la industria gráfica. Por ese motivo se eliminaron los cursos no relacionados con la industria gráfica.

• Considerar las materias optativas hubiera ampliado excesivamente el ámbito de estudio, y habría impedido utilizar el factor tiempo asignado a cada curso como criterio de importancia que las universidades atribuyen a cada materia. De esta forma estaríamos contabilizando unos contenidos que podrían no cursarse. Al mismo tiempo, se ha de suponer que los contenidos que una universidad considera de gran importancia, se localizan entre los contenidos obligatorios para la obtención del título.

FASE 5. Confección de la tabla comparativa y obtención de resultados.

Una vez completada la fase anterior, el paso siguiente supuso el análisis de los resultados conjuntos para cuantificar distribuciones y desviaciones que se producen. La herramienta utilizada es una nueva tabla donde se reunirán las sumas totales de los porcentajes de tiempo que cada institución dedica a cada Contenidos Relevantes.

Al estudiar la distribución de tiempos de cada universidad se observa que hay dos grupos claramente diferenciados: Los que ofrecen una acreditación de diseño gráfico y aquellos que ofertan una acreditación en lo que se denomina de forma más habitual “Graphic communication” o comunicación gráfica, que abarca todo el proceso gráfico.

El estudio comparativo se hace por separado para cada uno de estos grupos. De otra manera, los resultados estarían viciados al comparar dos elementos distintos.

La universidad de Pennsilvania ofrece dos cursos, uno en Graphic Design y otro en Graphic Communication. Se estudiaron por separado, distribuyéndolos cada uno en un grupo.


Metodología

Los dos grupos de estudio son los siguientes:

Grupo 1. Diseño gráfico

• Eastern Illinois University

• Mineapolis College of Art & Design

• Northeastern State University


• Plymouth State University

• The Art Institute of Pittsburg

• The College of New Jersey

• University of North Dakota

Grupo 2. Comunicación Gráfica

• Appalachian State University

• California Polytechnic

• North Carolina Agricultutal & Technical University


• Rochester Institute of Technology

• Ryerson University

Del estudio de estas tablas se extraen las conclusiones del estudio.

FASE 6. Contraste externo.

El análisis de los resultados y las conclusiones derivadas del estudio se presentaron a una serie de expertos de nivel nacional para contrastar la información obtenida y realizar las modificaciones que se consideren pertinentes. El listado de expertos a los que se envió la documentación citada es el siguiente:

• Ricard Casals de RCC Casals Consultants, S.A., consultor especializado en las artes gráficas y presidente de la Asociación de Consultores Europeos de Artes Gráficas GAIN (Graphic Arts Intelligence Network)

• Martín Vía. Fundador y Presidente de Protecmedia

• Eduardo Acedo. Director Técnico de HENCHE s.a.

• Manuel Gómez Güemes. Consultor - Gerente de Procograf

• Vicente de Gracia director de desarrollos sectoriales de Aido

Las observaciones recibidas por parte de los expertos se han incorporado en los apartados de Conclusiones y Propuestas de nuevos proyectos. Con todo ello se elabora el presente informe que reúne toda la información y las conclusiones finales.


Resultados obtenidos

Resultados Obtenidos

Finalmente se obtuvieron las descripciones detalladas de los cursos ofrecidos por trece universidades, doce estadounidenses y una Canadiense. En el caso de la universidad de Pensilvania se analizaron dos programas.

Fruto de la recopilación y posterior estudio de la información obtenida se obtuvieron tres resultados distintos;

• Descripción detallada de contenidos ofertados

• Glosario de palabras clave o “Key Words” referenciado a cursos

• Distribución de tiempo dedicado a cada Contenido Relevante

1. Descripción detallada de contenidos ofertados

Como se ha indicado anteriormente, sólo se estudiaron las materias que eran obligatorias para la obtención del título y que estaban relacionadas, de alguna manera, con la industria gráfica.

La información obtenida de cada materia fue:

• Nombre de la asignatura

• Código

• Número de Créditos

• Descripción del contenido facilitado por la institución

• Asignaturas anteriores necesarias para cursar cada una de ellas (en el caso de que las hubiera). Este último campo no se ha mostrado con el fin de hacer las tablas más legibles.

Aparte de esta información obtenida directamente de las instituciones académicas, se ha añadido otra columna denominada “Key words” con palabras clave que definen el contenido de esos cursos. Esta columna ha sido construida por el equipo investigador y se ha utilizado para la posterior distribución de cada asignatura en los Contenidos Relevantes así como para el glosario de Key words.

Adjuntamos los cuadros con la información de los 14 programas estudiados.

3. Distribución de tiempo dedicado a cada Contenido Relevante

En función de las palabras clave y la definición de la asignatura, el equipo investigador realizó una distribución porcentual en los Contenidos Relevantes que se abordaban en esa materia. Esta estimación se remitió a las universidades por si desearan realizar alguna modificación.

Describimos un ejemplo concreto para que sirva de aclaración.

Universidad de Pennsylvania. Programa de Graphic Communications Technology Asignatura de Premedia I.

En función de la descripción de los contenidos el equipo investigador hizo la siguiente estimación.

TRATAMIENTO DE IMÁGENES ....50%

DIGITALIZACIÓN ........................50%

Lo que significa que en esta asignatura, el 50% del tiempo se dedicaría a tratar aspectos relacionados con tratamiento de imágenes y el otro 50% a tratar aspectos de Digitalización. Se mandó esta estimación a la universidad y la universidad hizo la siguiente corrección.

PDF ..........................................25%

GESTIÓN DE COLOR .................25%

TRATAMIENTO DE IMÁGENES ....25%

DIGITALIZACIÓN ........................25%

Lo que significa que el 25 % del tiempo de esa asignatura lo dedican a aspectos relacionados con PDF, el 25% a Gestión de color, el 25% a tratamiento de imágenes y el 25% a Digitalización.

A las universidades norteamericanas se les envío las tablas con los Contenidos Relevantes en inglés junto con una breve explicación de cada Contenido Relevante, cuando se veía preciso también en inglés. En el Anexo II se incluye las tablas de Contenidos Relevantes junto con esa breve explicación de lo que incluía cada Contenido Relevante tanto en inglés como en español.

Adjuntamos la distribución final con las correcciones de las universidades ya incorporadas con los Contenidos Relevantes en español.

Aplicando esos porcentajes a los créditos de cada asignatura se obtienen los créditos que cada universidad asigna a cada Contenido Relevante. Cada universidad tiene un total de créditos distinto. Para poder comparar la dedicación que le dedica cada universidad a cada Contenido Relevante se calcula el porcentaje de tiempo que le dedica.

Utilizamos el ejemplo anterior para clarificar este aspecto.

Universidad de Pennsylvania. Programa de Graphic Communications Technology Asignatura de Premedia I.

Habíamos viso que la distribución de la asignatura Premedia I en los Contenidos Relevantes era:

PDF ..........................................25%

GESTIÓN DE COLOR ................25%

TRATAMIENTO DE IMÁGENES ...25%

DIGITALIZACIÓN ........................25%

Esta asignatura tiene 3 créditos con lo que los créditos que se dedican a cada uno de estos contenidos relevantes son 3 * 0.25 = 0,75

PDF ........................................................ 0.75 créditos

GESTIÓN DE COLOR .............................. 0.75 créditos

TRATAMIENTO DE IMÁGENES .................. 0.75 créditos

DIGITALIZACIÓN ...................................... 0.75 créditos

El Programa de Graphic Communications Technology tiene un total de 57 créditos (sólo se contabilizan los créditos de aquellas asignaturas que entran en el estudio) por lo tanto el porcentaje sobre el total del curso que esta asignatura asigna a cada uno de estos contenidos relevantes será: 0.75 / 57 *100 = 1,32 %

PDF .................................................................. 1,32%

GESTIÓN DE COLOR ......................................... 1,32%

TRATAMIENTO DE IMÁGENES ............................ 1,32%

DIGITALIZACIÓN ................................................ 1,32%

Sumando los porcentajes sobre el total del curso que cada asignatura dedica a cada Contenido Relevante se obtiene la distribución de tiempo que el programa dedica a cada Contenido Relevante

En este programa en concreto, Premedia I es la única asignatura que trata la temática referente a PDF; por lo tanto, el peso que este curso le dedica al contenido relevante PDF será de 1,32 %

Adjuntamos las tablas donde se resumen los porcentajes de tiempo dedicados por cada programa a cada Contenido Relevante. Estas tablas son el resumen de la Información Obtenida y la principal herramienta para el Análisis de los Resultados y las Conclusiones.

Para facilitar el análisis se ordenan los Contenidos Relevantes de estas tablas en función del porcentaje medio de tiempo asignado, llevándolo a cabo de forma independiente para cada familia de Contenidos Relevantes.

Análisis Resultados

Análisis de los resultados

Del estudio de los contenidos se aprecia que existen dos grupos claramente diferenciados: Un Grupo 1, que oferta titulación de Diseño Gráfico (Graphic Design); y un Grupo 2, que ofrece titulaciones en Comunicación Gráfica. El primer grupo centra la mayoría de sus materias en la parte creativa y preimpresión. El segundo grupo presenta materias que cubren todo el proceso gráfico con una cierta uniformidad. El análisis de los resultados se ha realizado de forma independiente para estos dos grupos.

La mayoría de los programas se ajustan fácilmente a una de estas dos clasificaciones, quedando los programas de North Carolina y Pittsburgh menos claros de asignación. Estos programas tienen una componente mayoritaria de preimpresión, pero tocan también ciertos procesos de producción. Se realizó la distribución en función del nombre del programa. El de Pittsburgh, denominado Graphic Design, se incluyo en el primer grupo de Diseño Gráfico, y el programa de North Carolina, denominado Graphic Communications, se contabilizó dentro del segundo.

Antes de analizar los resultados de ambos grupos por separado, resulta conveniente compararlos brevemente.

El subconjunto de diseño es sensiblemente mayor al grupo que abarca todo el proceso (8 programas frente a 6). Esto es más significativo si se tiene en cuenta que uno de los criterios para la elección de programas era que ofrecieran mayor variedad de procesos en sus programas según Print and Graphics Scholarship Foundation.

Incluso dentro de los programas del grupo 2, sólo CalPoly University, dedica mayor porcentaje a los contenidos referidos a procesos de impresión que a preimpresión.

Si comparamos la dedicación a los Contenidos Relevantes que se han agrupado dentro “otros”, los programas “Diseño Gráfico” dedican unos porcentajes de tiempo sensiblemente superiores a “Experiencia profesional” e “Investigación y proyectos” y sensiblemente inferior a “Nuevas tecnologías”.


Análisis Resultados

Grupo1. Diseño Gráfico.

Es significativo el valor medio tan elevado dedicado a la tipografía (fuentes, legibilidad, historia de la tipografía, etc.) aunque varía mucho entre universidades.

Se dedica un porcentaje significativo a la parte Web y multimedia, lo que contrasta con el escaso tiempo asignado a nuevas tecnologías.

Hay una dedicación muy pequeña a la gestión de color y no aparece en ningún programa alusión alguna al formato PDF (generación, optimización, automatización, etc.).

La impresión digital es el único sistema de impresión que se analiza y, además, muy someramente.

Prácticamente no se dedica tiempo a estudiar el proceso de producción ni el control de calidad. Estos datos se pueden interpretar como una brecha importante entre la parte de diseño y la parte de producción del producto gráfico.

No se hace referencia en ninguno de los programas a la gestión, o trabajo con datos variables.

Se le dedica un tiempo considerablemente elevado a la experiencia profesional.

Grupo 2. Comunicación Gráfica.

En los Contenido Relevantes del apartado de preimpresión es significativo la dedicación de tiempo asignada a contenidos Web y Multimedia, la mayor si se suman ambos.

La gestión de color tiene un peso muy representativo

El PDF apenas se estudia, o al menos no se especifica como tal en la descripción detallada de los programas.

En la parte de sistemas de producción, se dedica un porcentaje elevado a las materias primas (tintas y papel principalmente) ya como asignatura específica o dentro de otras.

El sistema de impresión más relevante, por el número de horas dedicadas, es el de flexo pero sin diferencias significativas con el offset. Huecograbado e impresión digital están sensiblemente por detrás. Es destacable que se le dedica el mismo orden de magnitud al proceso de impresión digital en las asignaturas del grupo 1 en “Diseño Gráfico” que en los del grupo 2 “Comunicación Gráfica” donde se analiza todo el proceso gráfico.

Hay que considerar que desde el principio se excluyó a la serigrafía como contenido relevante propio. Cuando ocasionalmente ha aparecido alguna referencia a serigrafía en algún programa se ha catalogado dentro de “Otras temáticas”.

Se dedica poco tiempo al packaging, al menos según la descripción obtenida de las instituciones académicas. Esto puede ser debido a la existencia de programas específicos como es el caso de RIT que ofrece un Bachelor Degree en Packaging Science en otra facultad distinta, el College of Applied Science and Technology (http://www.rit.edu/cast/undergraduate-programs.php)

La dedicación a los acabados es muy dispar, algunas universidades les dedican una parte muy representativa (Pennsylvania y Ryerson) mientras que en otras tiene una dedicación reducida (North Caroline y Appalachian).

La asignación al JDF es prácticamente inexistente, sólo Ryerson y California Polytechnic hace una ligera mención en sus programas.

En la parte de producción, el aspecto más relevante es la estimación de costes y presupuestos.

Es significativa la dedicación a Dato Variable, principalmente en los programas de RIT y CalPoly University.


Conclusiones

Conclusiones del estudio

Las principales conclusiones obtenidas del estudio son las siguientes:

• Las universidades norteamericanas son más transparentes a la hora de mostrar los cursos, ofertados en muchas ocasiones con gran detalle. La dificultad en encontrar la información en instituciones europeas puede llevar a migración de posibles estudiantes hacia universidades norteamericanas.

• Existe una ruptura entre la parte de diseño y la parte de producción, dándose mayor relieve en la formación universitaria a la etapa creativa que a la productiva. La producción queda relegada, en ocasiones, a especialidades dentro de un curso más genérico; o a acciones formativas de corta duración, o seminarios específicos sobre materias concretas. Uno de los expertos remarcaba que estos cursos con un carácter más profesional son ofertados con frecuencia por asociaciones como por ejemplo PIA, más que por universidades.

• En general, se da muy poco peso a la enseñanza de software específico primándose más la parte de concepto, o la de integración de procesos. Se asume que el alumno ya sabe utilizar programas concretos o que los puede aprender por su cuenta, pero que no es la universidad el sitio para adquirir esta formación.

• El Diseño Web y multimedia no es una tendencia o nueva tecnología aplicada, sino algo actual que demanda una parte importante del tiempo.

• El proceso de impresión Offset ya no tiene la importancia de antaño. Ahora compite con la flexografía al mismo nivel, en cuanto al tiempo empleado en la universidad. El huecograbado tiene el mismo peso que la impresión digital, lo que supone un descenso importante del primero y un ascenso importante del digital. Es interesante la apreciación realizada por un experto referente a que el sistema Flexo está mucho más expandido en Estados Unidos que en Europa, con lo que la extrapolación de estos datos a España hay que hacerla con cierta precaución.

• Dentro de los procesos de impresión, se da mayor importancia a cómo interactúan las materias primas (tinta y papel) que al propio sistema específico.

• Los acabados mantienen su peso específico.

• Los profesionales que se quieran formar en el proceso gráfico van a necesitar unos conocimientos importantes de la componente industrial del proceso (gestión de costes, gestión de producción, aspectos empresariales, etc.), junto con cierto dominio en gestión de bases de datos para tratar dato variable.

• No se encuentra ninguna universidad que, por el momento, dedique un tiempo significativo al JDF


Conclusiones

Posibles implicaciones para el profesorado español.

• Parece importante no centrar la formación en el campo gráfico hacia el uso de programas, ya sean programas de edición o retoque de imágenes como programas de generación de PDF u otros formatos, sino centrarse más bien en el valor añadido que puede aportar la parte creativa o la parte de integración de procesos.

• El dato variable va a tener un peso cada vez mayor y por tanto el profesorado tendrá que formarse en gestión de bases de datos. Es conveniente tener en cuenta el comentario de un experto que indicaba que en Estados Unidos existen bases de datos públicas que han facilitado el trabajo con dato variable no así en Europa, por lo que los datos obtenidos no son extrapolables directamente.

• En el mundo de la impresión, la necesidad de conocimientos químicos va a ser más necesaria. La interacción entre tintas y substratos adquiere mayor relevancia y disminuye la necesidad de conocimientos y experiencia en equipos específicos de producción.

• La flexografía va a crecer en comparación con el sistema Offset y, por lo tanto, se va a requerir un incremento del tiempo invertido para esa formación.

• Los formadores deben conocer los acabados para poder aportar una formación en profundidad en ese campo.

• La industria gráfica ha de verse como tal: como un proceso industrial; por lo tanto, se debe incrementar la formación en aspectos industriales como gestión de costes o de producción.
