MARTINS, Maria Angélica Rodrigues. A questão curricular na autoavaliação da instituição de educação superior. Est. Aval. Educ. [online]. 2009, vol.20, n.43, pp.257-272. ISSN 0103-6831.

This paper is an exercise in analyzing the current picture of Brazilian higher education and the conditions under which the educator's profession is carried out in most of its institutions. The text intertwines contexts, institutional objectives and conditions, and the curricular theory that permeates or might permeate assessment practices aimed at contributing to the professional development of higher education professors. The study focuses on the higher education institution's self-assessment curriculum when the course is considered as an analysis unit. It pays careful attention to issues listed by Gimeno Sacristán (2000) with regard to the objectivation of the curriculum understood as a confluence of practices. The goal is to discuss the possibility and convenience of including items that refer to these issues in procedures and instruments the faculty uses to undertake course self-assessment.

Keywords : Higher Education; Curriculum; Teachers; Evaluation.
