LACERDA, Leo Lynce Valle de. SINAES, theory and pratice: epistemological assumptions in opposition. Avaliação [online]. 2015, vol.20, n.1, pp.87-104. ISSN 1414-4077.  https://doi.org/10.590/S1414-40772015000100007.

The article seeks to investigate the epistemological assumptions that guided the National Assessment System - SINAES, implemented in Brazil in 2004 to show a path to Kant, related to the principles laid out in the original document of SINAES, and another, apparently opposite, to Descartes, in observance of the evaluative system praxis. It is argued that SINAES polar nature, and the consequent dissatisfaction of the academic community about this rupture between principles and execution. At the end we propose some possibilities to start an overcoming of this duality, based on the tripod on which is based the system, and the central position of institutional self-assessment against the other two pillars, the assessment of undergraduate courses and the national examination of student performance.
