RIBEIRO, Jorge Luiz Lordêlo de Sales. Avaliação das universidades brasileiras as possibilidades de avaliar e as dificuldades de ser avaliado. Avaliação (Campinas) [online]. 2011, vol.16, n.01, pp.57-71. ISSN 1414-4077.

There are difficulties arising from the preparation and implementation of an evaluation system for higher education institutions in Brazil - HEI are large and complex, not only by the difficulties inherent in the very act of evaluating, as well as the characteristics of the Brazilian Federal System of Higher Education, namely: the number of HEI, the different formation patterns and sizes, the concentration of HEI in geographical areas located in more developed regions, etc... The Higher Education Institutions, in turn, experience difficulties that are no less important, to the extent that they directly suffer the consequences of the dissemination of results, and react defensively, making the visibility of evaluation policy-makers difficult. This study intends to point out some issues faced by evaluators and evaluated in this difficult task, and to reflect on the role of the evaluation of the HEI in Brazil, both in the context of expansion policies for the higher education system, as well as in the quality maintenance policies.

Keywords : Institutional Evaluation; University Evaluation; University Evaluation Policies.
