SOUZA, ANDRELIZA CRISTINA DE and ROTHEN, JOSÉ CARLOS. QUOTA POLICIES: A META-EVALUATION STUDY OF PARANÁ STATE UNIVERSITIES. Est. Aval. Educ. [online]. 2019, vol.30, n.74, pp.614-643. Epub Oct 22, 2019. ISSN 1984-932X. https://doi.org/10.18222/eae.v30i74.5831.
The present text provides a meta-evaluation of quota policies in Paraná state universities. The aim was to analyze the evaluation processes of these policies regarding similarities and differences, potential and limits, strategies and procedures used. We also conducted document analysis and interviews, systematized through content analysis. The policy cycle was also used for data analysis. We observed the need to qualify the evaluation processes, train a technical staff, and develop evaluation methods and strategies for quota policies appropriate to the different situations and production of knowledge about evaluation as an epistemological field. We concluded that the evaluation process did not actually occur because of the fear that the evaluation would be used as a step backward in the process of reserving vacancies. The study highlight the importance of more in-depth discussions about quotas.
