VERHINE, ROBERT EVAN; DANTAS, LYS MARIA VINHAES  y  SOUZA, ÂNGELO RICARDO DE. QUALITATIVE INDICATORS IN THE EVALUATION OF GRADUATE PROGRAMS IN EDUCATION. Est. Aval. Educ. [online]. 2024, vol.35, e10777.  Epub 25-Sep-2024. ISSN 1984-932X.  https://doi.org/10.18222/eae.v35.10777.

This article analyzes the evaluation of graduate studies in the Education Area by Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior [Brazilian Federal Agency for Support and Evaluation of Graduate Education] between 2017-2020 highlighting the changes resulting from the expanded use of qualitative indicators. Following a discussion on the evaluation and theoretical aspects of the subject, the process adopted for the objectification of the evaluation and the results obtained is described. Regression analysis is used to analyze the behavior of both quantitative and qualitative indicators in defining the grades of the programs in the area. The article proposes a reduction in the total number of indicators, emphasizes the importance of qualitative indicators as valuable sources of the feedback needed to improve the program, and advocates for the adoption of objectification processes derived from the construction of evaluative criteria that parameterize the evaluation work.
