SANTOS, Tahíse Maria de Brito Medeiros dos; MONTEIRO, Viviane Rodrigues Viana  e  RODRIGUES JUNIOR, José Florêncio. Confiabilidade dos julgamentos de avaliadores de prova escrita na seleção para o mestrado. Est. Aval. Educ. [online]. 2010, vol.21, n.46, pp.363-373. ISSN 0103-6831.

Representatives of the academic community have expressed their understanding that graduate programs should submit themselves to self-evaluations. This study is part of the self-evaluation scenario previously referred to. It intends to investigate how reliable the examiners' judgments are of a written exam, one of the components of the selection process to a Master of Education program of a private Midwest Brazilian university. The time span considered in the study was 1994 to 2006, comprising 10 entrance exams. The data were submitted to a Pearson correlation test year by year. The results showed an irregular pattern, in that some of the coefficients were very low (r=0,15), some very high (r=0,89). An analysis of solely the academic records proved insufficient to explain the erratic pattern of the correlations found in the 10 selection processes. Suggestions are presented concerning, on one hand, the research approach; on the other hand, ways of increasing the reliability of the grading process of the written exam making up the selection process.
