SANTOS, LUCIANA SCHROEDER DOS and GESSER, VERÔNICA. ON SITE EXTERNAL EVALUATION OF HIGHER EDUCATION: OPINIONS OF THE EVALUATORS. Est. Aval. Educ. [online]. 2020, vol.31, n.77, pp.263-286. Epub Jan 04, 2021. ISSN 1984-932X. https://doi.org/10.18222/eae.v31i77.7223.
The present study aims to analyze opinions issued by the evaluators of the Instituto Nacional de Estudos e Pesquisas Educacionais Anísio Teixeira (Inep) [Anísio Teixeira National Institute of Educational Studies and Research], who compose the on site evaluation committee, during the process of renewing the accreditation of higher education programs related to the final score conferred upon each dimension evaluated, and the respective indicators. The present study is characterized as qualitative, and the document analysis was conducted using the content analysis technique. Based on the evidence seen in the analyses, the lack of indicators or circumstances found validates the suggested hypothesis: the opinions issued by the evaluating committees of Inep during the process of renewing the accreditation of higher education programs, which result in the final score of the evaluated program, usually do not involve elements that set the criteria selected by the evaluators for each indicator of the instrument.
