Comissão Própria de Avaliação em IES: um estudo de caso sobre a CPA da UNIGRANRIO

Abstract

The law of the National System for the Evaluation of Higher Education (SINAES) provided a systematization of the educational evaluation in the country and promoted considerable changes in Brazilian higher education, especially through article 11 of Law 10.861 / 2004, which instituted its own Evaluation Commissions, to conduct the internal evaluation processes and provide information and assistance to external evaluations. In this sense, the present study aims to analyze the importance and performance of the University of Grande Rio "Prof. José de Souza Herdy" - UNIGRANRIO, in addition to assessing its contributions to improve the educational services provided. Institutional self-evaluation is essential to acquire self-knowledge and from these analyzes, contribute to institutional policies of academic, infrastructure, pedagogical, relational and even marketing improvement. In this sense, this work was based on the Case Study of a unique nature, since the research was directed to an evaluation commission that presents its own characteristics and legitimate form of autonomous action. Following the methodology, semi-structured interviews were carried out to understand and analyze the history of the CPA, its relevance and contributions to the university. The results pointed to the efficiency of the work of the CPA and the achievements of an evaluation culture, as well as the need to seek mechanisms that allow a better visibility by the commission, besides rooting the evaluation culture to the staff of the university.
