CARNEIRO, ANA MARIA  and  BIN, ADRIANA. CONTINUOUS EVALUATION OF HIGHER EDUCATION PROGRAMS. Est. Aval. Educ. [online]. 2019, vol.30, n.73, pp.170-200.  Epub July 16, 2019. ISSN 1984-932X.  https://doi.org/10.18222/eae.v30i73.5739.

This paper discusses the concept of continuous evaluation, based on the evaluation experience of a higher education program from a public university. The program is not only an affirmative action, it is also a general education program and a new admission way to the undergraduate courses. Continuous evaluation represents innovation in conceptual and methodological terms, in the public policy area, as it proposes a process based on a policy. The analysis of the general education program provides two main contributions: a) the understanding of how to set up a continuous evaluation system; b) the management of the system. This highlights the continuous generation of subsidies for decision-making as well as the challenges that are being faced, which guarantee that the integration between evaluation and decision-making will continue to occur.

Keywords : PROGRAM EVALUATION; HIGHER EDUCATION; PUBLIC POLICIES; EVALUATION OF EDUCATIONAL INNOVATION.
