LEITAO, Thiago; MORICONI, Gabriela; ABRAO, Mariangela  e  SILVA, Dayse. Uma análise acerca do boicote dos estudantes aos exames de avaliação da educação superior. Rev. Bras. Educ. [online]. 2010, vol.15, n.43, pp.21-44. ISSN 1413-2478.

This article examines the phenomenon called boycott of the exams which are part of the evaluation system of higher education in Brazil, highlighting the National Exam for Evaluating Students' Performance (ENADE). It reveals the magnitude of the phenomenon over time, among private and public institutions for type of boycott. Using the last triennial of ENADE, the econo metric analysis identifies the variables which most influence the student's decision to adopt such an attitude. The analysis also allows us to draw a profile of the students who adhered to the phenomenon. The principal conclusion of the study shows that the boycott, when analyzed in a broad manner, is not significant, since the percentage of occurrence was never higher than 3.5%. However, when examined by course, there was a wide variation of incidence. This article also presents some possible reasons for the boycott, including, among others, the student's dissatisfaction with the course and/or institution.
