Avaliação dos programas de pós-graduação em química no Brasil: versão 2002

The graduate programs in Chemistry were evaluated and classified from the data collected for the period 1998-2000 by CAPES, the Minister of Education agency that is responsible for the regulation and support of this level of human resources formation. The next classification will be made in 2004, from the data of the period 2001-2003. The years in between, like the present year, are used for an evaluation without classification, from what comments are emitted to the programs to know how their data are improving or not, before the new ranking reporting. The progresses in the area of chemistry in Brazil are analysed from the confrontation of the present data with that of all previous evaluations, since 1983. The results confirm that the research and graduate formation in the area of Chemistry is continuously improving in Brazil, particularly during the last seven years.

Para que serve a dupla avaliação cega por pares?: poder estatal e autorregulação na avaliação dos programas de pós-graduação

Este texto analisa o papel das revistas no processo de avaliação do sistema brasileiro de pós-graduação de acordo com as regras do Qualis e do SciELO. Sustenta que as revistas são titulares do “direito-função” de selecionar artigos por meio da dupla avaliação cega por pares, direito este que deve ser exercido em prol da comunidade acadêmica. Por esta razão, o texto mostra que as revistas são um mecanismo de autorregulação da avaliação da pós-graduação brasileira. Em sua parte final, o artigo discute a relação entre este modelo de avaliação e a tradição jurídica brasileira, em especial, nossa maneira de praticar e refletir sobre a dogmática jurídica no Brasil.

A atuação profissional dos egressos como importante dimensão no processo de avaliação de programas de pós-graduação

A análise do quadro geral da inserção profissional dos egressos é uma forma inequívoca para avaliação de Programas de Pós-Graduação no que tange à qualidade de sua formação e preparo de profissionais gabaritados para o mercado de trabalho. Este artigo relata a experiência pioneira do Programa de Pós-Graduação em Geografia- UNESP/ Rio Claro (SP) na construção de instrumentos de avaliação a partir da procedência, formação acadêmica e destino profissional dos egressos, nos níveis de Mestrado e Doutorado, no período de 1980-2008. Os resultados foram resumidos em gráficos e mapas e são elementos importantes para mostrar o desenvolvimento e a disseminação da ciência geográfica no Brasil e no exterior. A metodologia utilizada revelou-se extremamente eficaz, podendo ser utilizada por qualquer Programa, com as devidas adaptações, para avaliar tanto sua realidade quando sua extensão.

Indicadores de avaliação de programas de pós-graduação no Brasil: uma análise multivariada na área de Matemática

Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (CAPES)

Indicadores de Avaliação de Programas de Pós-Graduação: um estudo comparativo na área da Matemática

The aim of this research is to analyze, in a comparative way, by category of grade, some indicators used by Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel (CAPES) in evaluating the performance of Graduate Programs in Mathematics in Brazil, for the triennium 2007-2009, in order to contribute to understanding of the complex methodology involved in triennial evaluations of graduate programs. Based on the indicators present in the Comparative Worksheet of Triennial Assessment, Area Mathematics / Probability and Statistics, from 2007 to 2009, present at CAPES Portal, contingency tables were built for the 26 graduate programs in Mathematics, presenting each indicator and the program concepts. Overall, there was a trend of association of all indicators analyzed and the concept obtained, with older and larger programs with better grades in the assessment. Also, with the exception of journal articles Qualis B5, the article average per professor grows as grows the program grade.

Proposta de um modelo de gestão de programas de pós-graduação na área de Administração a partir dos sistemas de avaliação do Brasil (CAPES) e dos Estados Unidos (AACSB)

O sistema brasileiro de avaliação de programas de pós-graduação vem evoluindo desde 1976, sendo considerado eficiente e moderno. No presente trabalho, o objetivo é propor um modelo de gestão de programas de pós-graduação stricto sensu em Administração do Brasil, com base nos sistemas de avaliação do Brasil e dos Estados Unidos. Para tanto, procedeu-se a uma pesquisa em oito programas: quatro no Brasil, recomendados pela Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (CAPES) e quatro nos Estados Unidos, credenciados pela Association to Advance Collegiate School of Business (AACSB). O método de pesquisa foi o estudo de casos múltiplos de caráter exploratório com dois componentes básicos: pesquisa documental, por meio de um estudo em profundidade dos sistemas de avaliação; pesquisa de campo com os coordenadores de programas para identificar como os sistemas de avaliação são utilizados para desenvolver os programas. A partir desses estudos, foi proposto um modelo de gestão em que, além de atender aos requisitos do sistema de avaliação da CAPES, seja levada em consideração a realidade do programa e os elementos importantes para seu contínuo aprimoramento, dentre eles: missão e visão; plano estratégico; corpo docente; estrutura do programa; corpo discente; resultados que abrangem produção científico-tecnológica, egresso e inserção social.

Avaliação da eficiência dos programas de pós-graduação acadêmicos em administração, contabilidade e turismo

The Triennial Evaluation of Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel (CAPES) is made according to several indicators, divided into several issues and items, and their weights. In these it is evident the importance of scientific periodicals. This study aims to evaluate the relative efficiency of post-graduate students in Business Administration, Accounting and tourism evaluated by CAPES in Brazil. The methodology used the data envelopment analysis - DEA (Data Envelopment Analysis). The data were obtained from the site and organized by the CAPES Qualis score. The analysis was performed by the DEA variable returns to scale, product-oriented (BCC-O), with data from the three-year periods 2004-2006 and 2007-2009. Among the main results are the average increase significantly the relative efficiency of the programs in the period 2007-2009 compared to 2004-2006 period, the highest average efficiency of programs linked to public institutions in relation to private, doctoral programs with the present average efficiency sharply higher than those only with masters, and senior programs in general were more efficient. There is also moderate and significant correlation between the efficiency scores and concepts CAPES. The Malmquist index analysis showed that more than 85% of programs had increased productivity. It is noteworthy that the main effect that influences the increase of the Malmquist index is the displacement of the border (Frontier-shift)

Aplicando análise de envoltória de dados -DEA à avaliação de desempenho acadêmico: um estudo em programas de pós-graduação em engenharia mecânica e produção no Brasil

This Master of Science Thesis deals with applying DEA (Data Envelopment Analysis) to the academic performance evaluation of graduate programs in Brazil, exploring it on a Mechanical and Production Engineering Program 2001-2003 data. The data used is that of the national assessment carried by CAPES, the governmental body in charge for graduate program assessment and certification. It is used the CCR output oriented DEA model, the CCR-Output with Assurance Region, and Window Analysis. The main findings are first that the CCR has the concerning problem of zero values of weights of outputs that is not appropriate in a sense that a graduate program has the higher efficiency score zeroing some output (e.g., number of academic papers published). Secondly, the Assurance Region method proved useful. Third, the Window Analysis also gave some light to the consistency of the performance in the time frame analysed. Also, the analysis results in the understanding that the Mechanics and Production Engineering should not be assessed jointly like currently applied by CAPES and rather should be assessed in its own field separately. Finally, the result of the DEA analysis showed some serious inconsistencies with the CAPES method. Graduate programs considered excellent has got low performance score and vice versa. This Thesis provides a strong argument in order to use DEA at least as a complimentary methodology for graduate program performance evaluation in Brazil

Qualidade do serviço de informação digital :um estudo exploratório em web sites de Programas de Pós-Graduação

This dissertation of Mestrado investigated the performance and quality of web sites. The target of the research is the proposal of an integrated model of evaluation of services of digital information in web educational sites. The universe of the research was constituted by eighteen Brazilian Universities that offer after-graduation courses, in the levels of mestrado and doutorado in the area of Engineering of Production. The adopted methodology was a descriptive and exploratory research, using the technique of systematic comment and focus group, for the collection of the data, using itself changeable independent dependents and, through the application of two instruments of research. The analysis protocol was the instrument adopted for evaluation and attainment of qualitative results. E the analysis grating was applied for evaluation and attainment of the quantitative results. The qualitative results had identified to the lack of standardization of web sites, under the attributes of content, hierarchy of information, design of the colors and letters. It of accessibility for carriers of auditory and visual special necessities was observed inexistence, as well as the lack of convergence of medias and assistivas technologies. The language of the sites also was evaluated and all present Portuguese only language. The general result demonstrated in grafico and tables with classification of the Universities, predominating the Good note As for the quantitative results, analysis method ed was estatistico, in order to get the descriptive and inferencial result between the dependent and independent variaveis. How much a category of analysis of the services of the evaluated sites, was found it props up and the index generality weighed. These results had served of base for ranking of existence or inexistence the Universities, how much of the information of services in its web sites. In analysis inferencial the result of the test of correlation or association of the independent variaveis (level, concept of the CAPES and period of existence of the program) with the caracteristicas, called was gotten categories of services. For this analysis the estatisticos methods had been used: coefficient of Spearman and the Test of Fisher. But the category you discipline of the Program of Mestrado presented significance with variavel independent and concept of the CAPES. Main conclusion of this study it was ausencia of satandardization o how much to the subjective aspects, design, hierarchy of information navigability and content precision and the accessibility inexistence and convergence. How much to the quantitative aspects, the information services offered by web sites of the evaluated Universities, still they do not present a satisfactory and including quality. Absence of strategies, adoption of tools web, techniques of institucional marketing and services that become them more interactive, navigable is perceived and with aggregate value
