BOUSSADA, Hallouma  y  DE KETELE, Jean-Marie. Evaluation of the quality of higher education and its evaluation system from the graduates’ point of view. Avaliação (Campinas) [online]. 2008, vol.13, n.01, pp.39-61. ISSN 1414-4077.

Research on the assessment of the professional abilities of higher education graduates (ROMAINVILLE, 2002; DE KETELE, 1997, 1999, 2000; FRANCE, 2003; Opinion of the High Council of the evaluation of the school, 2003) focuses on four issues: skills that students have prior to their higher education studies; student's perceptions of acquired skills at the end of their studies; transferable skills and the higher education effectiveness on developing professional skills. However, few studies provide good indicators on the measured professional skills and on which criteria will be assessed by the job market. In this study, graduates who are active in the job market evaluate retrospectively the quality of their academic curriculum. The results of questionnaire taken by 158 graduates showed the university's difficulty to implement a relevant and valid assessment system that promotes the development of the necessary professional skills.
