PAIXAO, Roberto Brazileiro; BRUNI, Adriano Leal; BECKER, João Luiz  and  TENORIO, Robinson Moreira. Avaliação de mestrados profissionais: construção e análise de indicadores à luz da multidimensionalidade. Ensaio: aval. pol. públ. educ. [online]. 2014, vol.22, n.83, pp.505-531. ISSN 0104-4036.

One of the main topics of discussion concerning professional master’s programs (PMP) in Brazil is about how to evaluate them. This research sought to scrutinize possible impact indicators of professional PMP from a multidimensional perspective based on Sander (1995). To achieve this goal an investigation was conducted using the Delphi technique in three rounds with the participation of PMP Directors, CAPES Committees’ Chairs, and researchers who have published academic papers on the subject. Data analysis of the information gathered permitted to achieve a list of 21 indicators, which were examined visà- vis Sander’s four dimensions (efficiency, efficacy, effectiveness and relevance). Efficacy is the core dimension for mostly indicators.

Keywords : Evaluation; Impact; Master´s Degree.
