THIENGO, Lara Carlette; BIANCHETTI, Lucídio  y  PINTO, Maria de Lourdes Almeida. RANKINGS: DEFENSE STRATEGY OF THE PUBLIC UNIVERSITY?. Revista da FAEEBA: Educação e Contemporaneidade [online]. 2019, vol.28, n.55, pp.28-42.  Epub 14-Oct-2020. ISSN 2358-0194.  https://doi.org/10.21879/faeeba2358-0194.2019.v28.n55.p28-42.

In this article the limits of the use of rankings to construct the arguments in defense of the Brazilian public initiative against the attempts of disqualification were analyzed. We aim to answer the following questions: What are the main rankings served and which indicators make up their respective metrics? Are the classification tables pointed out in the academic literature and in the media? In what way, in media discourses, are the results of the rankings to defend/ attack the public university? What arguments are used? In this context, it is worrying that the current government does not even consider, in its decisions and propositions, the reports, although partial and imprecise, about the position of Brazilian universities in the ranking. In methodological terms, it uses an analysis of the second generation of international rankings and of journalistic matters, related to the theme, published in the year 2019.

Palabras clave : Rankings; Media; Evaluation of higher education.
