The scientific and technological autonomy of a country requires it to have a exceptional
education. The aim of this paper is to present an assessment instrument to measure the
resistance to change in the administration of higher education. We propose a design and
operation for the project Strategic Map of Higher Education (MEES) based on an integrated
management system. The MEES constitutes a methodological proposal for the
operationalization of the Institutional Development Plan (IDP) in Higher Education
Institutions (HEI). A measuring instrument for assessing the resistance to change in the
administration of higher education (RAMES) is based on the following conceptual basis: item
response theory (IRT) psychometric theory and the study of change management. The Rames
consists of five steps: 1. development of the instrument for data collection 2. definition of the
size of the sample of the academic community inside the HEIs, 3. Data collection - set of
items 4. estimate the parameters of items: 5. definition of the measurement scale. The Rames
is expected to contribute to the effectiveness in implementing the MEES. It also aims to
identify key indicators of resistance to change in the administration of higher education.
