TORRES VELANDIA, Serafín Ángel. Open Educational Resources and Institutional Policies in Mexican Public Universities: Case Study. RIDE. Rev. Iberoam. Investig. Desarro. Educ [online]. 2021, vol.11, n.22, e025.  Epub Sep 20, 2021. ISSN 2007-7467.  https://doi.org/10.23913/ride.v11i22.865.

The open educational resources (OER) movement is circumscribed in the open science trend and impacts in the field of university. The objective of the research was to identify the current state of the institutional educational policies of the public universities in relation to the OER and the perception of the teachers and researchers of the Universidad Autónoma del Estado de Morelos (UAEM), Mexico. A methodology with a qualitative perspective and a descriptive exploratory approach was used. In February 2020, a consultation guide was sent to the university's teachers with the possibility of free and open-ended answers, with the purpose of knowing the perceptions they have regarding the educational policies existing in their institution to the design and production of open educational materials. A total of 25 contributions were obtained that made up the corpus of analysis. Based on the exploratory study of the 35 public university that the Secretaría de Educación Pública (SEP) registered, the following findings were obtained: these universities lack institutional policies that allow them to integrate OER into the institutional programs of educational development that have been implemented in each one of them. Likewise, they do not have open educational material repositories, with the exception of the UAEM, which is the only one that publishes a metabase of educational resources, in charge of the Multimodal Training Program. It is strange that in the results of the consultation with teachers and researchers, most ignore the existence of ad hoc institutional policies and the aforementioned repository. It is suggested that the public universities, in the face of the serious crisis caused by Coronavirus 19, apply the relevant policies and strategies that the World Coalition for Education 2020, led by the United Nations Organization for Education, Science and Culture, has proposed based on the development of open and flexible education systems for the benefit of students and young people who face, outside their classrooms, the continuity of their studies.
