SGUISSARDI, Valdemar. The defensive evaluation in the “CAPES evaluation model”. Is it possible to conciliate educational evaluation with State’s processes of regulation and control?. Perspectiva [online]. 2006, vol.24, n.01, pp.49-88. ISSN 0102-5473.

This article, based on studies by specialists, documents about the issue and the author’s personal experience, responds to some questions about the “Capes Evaluation Model”. Is it strictly speaking an evaluation or does it involve regulatory actions and procedures, control and accreditation, that are the responsibility of a financing agency for graduate studies that guarantees the legal validity of diplomas and titles? How does this regulatory and control model help the university to become an increasingly more neo-professional, heteronomous and competitive institution? What are the consequences for higher education of a “model” that emphasizes the training of researchers, by quantitative measuring and evaluation of scientific production, in detriment to the “integral” education of the graduate student? What space is occupied in this model by freedom of choice, self evaluation or the so-called educational evaluation or educational diagnosis? How can this type of evaluation be conciliated with evaluation related to processes of state regulation and control?
