This text is part of a larger study that had as its object of research the self-assessment of two public universities, the University of Rio de Janeiro (UERJ) and the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UNIRIO), through their Own Assessment Committees (CPAs) in accordance with Law Nr. 10,861 of 14 April 2004, which established the National System of Higher Education Assessment (Sinaes) and MEC (Minisrty of Education and Cultura) Order Nr. 2051 of July 9, 2004. It investigates the design and implementation of the self-assessment process at both universities, its impact on promoting the advancement of knowledge and on educating citizens, its contributions to overcoming reductionism and simplistic explanations of human reality and its possible contribution to the construction of a dialogue between different areas and academic disciplines. Among the results stand out the estranged reports, the subsumption of leisure time, the suppresion of subjectivity and the requalification of universities, mediated by the Theory of Social Capital.

Keywords : Institutional Assessment; Assessment of Education; Higher Education; Theory of Social Capital.
