Background: Understanding the relationship between regulatory frameworks and academic excellence in higher education is fundamental for designing quality assurance systems that are effectively appropriated by institutional actors. Objective: To analyze the relationship between the perception of public policy implementation and university educational quality at the Faculty of Education of the Universidad Nacional Federico Villarreal in Lima, Peru, during the first academic semester of 2025. Methodology: A quantitative study with a non-experimental, cross-sectional design and a descriptive-correlational scope. Two questionnaires were applied for data collection, with Cronbach's Alpha coefficients of 0.957 (state policies) and 0.911 (educational quality), indicating excellent internal consistency. The census population consisted of 107 teachers, eliminating sampling error. Results: The study evidences mostly low teacher perceptions regarding state policies (54%), educational quality (47%), and institutional management (52%), with a critical deficit in regulatory knowledge (53%). The near-perfect correlation (ρ = 0.988) confirms their inseparable association. The main contribution demonstrates that the perceived effectiveness of quality assurance depends on the articulation between regulatory frameworks and their academic appropriation. From the perspective of Information Sciences, deficiencies in institutional communication explain this lack of differentiation. Conclusion: It is verified that public policies and educational quality constitute an undifferentiated construct in teacher perception, which requires strengthening institutional information systems and moving towards participatory governance models that guarantee the effective appropriation of regulatory frameworks.

Contexto: La comprensión de la relación entre los marcos normativos y la excelencia académica en el nivel educativo superior resulta fundamental para diseñar sistemas de aseguramiento que sean apropiados por los actores institucionales. Objetivo: analizar la relación entre la percepción sobre la implementación de políticas públicas y la calidad educativa universitaria en la Facultad de Educación de la Universidad Nacional Federico Villarreal de Lima, Perú, durante el primer semestre del año académico 2025. Metodología: estudio cuantitativo, con un diseño no experimental transversal y alcance descriptivo-correlacional. Se aplicaron dos cuestionarios para la recolección de datos, con coeficientes Alfa de Cronbach de 0,957 (políticas estatales) y 0,911 (calidad educativa), indicando una consistencia interna excelente. La población censal fue de 107 docentes, eliminando el error muestral. Resultados: El estudio evidencia percepciones docentes mayoritariamente bajas sobre políticas estatales (54%), calidad educativa (47%) y gestión institucional (52%), con déficit crítico en conocimiento normativo (53%). La correlación casi perfecta (ρ = 0,988) confirma su asociación indisoluble. El aporte principal demuestra que la efectividad percibida del aseguramiento de la calidad depende de la articulación entre marcos normativos y su apropiación académica. Desde las Ciencias de la Información, las deficiencias en comunicación institucional explican esta indiferenciación. Conclusión: Se comprueba que las políticas públicas y la calidad educativa constituyen un constructo indiferenciado en la percepción docente, lo que exige fortalecer los sistemas de información institucional y transitar hacia modelos de gobernanza participativa que garanticen la apropiación efectiva de los marcos normativos.
