NUNES, Enedina Betânia Leite de Lucena Pires; DUARTE, Michelle Matilde Semigueem Lima Trombini  and  PEREIRA, Isabel Cristina Auler. Planning and institutional assessment: an assessment tool indicator of SINAES. Avaliação [online]. 2017, vol.22, n.2, pp.373-384. ISSN 1982-5765.  https://doi.org/10.1590/S1414-40772017000200006.

This article reflects on the "Planning and Institutional Assessment" element addressed by Law 10.861/2004, which implements the National System of Higher Education Assessment (Sinaes). It contributes to highlighting the interaction of internal assessment in the planning at the Federal University of Tocantins (UFT) and its academic activities in order to demonstrate the development of the institution and its pursuit of quality improvement. The theoretical framework enabled the reflection of the evaluation and planning in aiding the improvement and enhancement of the institutions. This framework was based on the work of such theorists on the subject and on the regulation of evaluation of higher education in Brazil, starting from Sinaes, created in 2004; institutional and official documents. This article is a qualitative research paper with documentary and bibliographical analysis which shows that the institutional evaluation of planning can be used as a valuable tool in the constant search for improvements and for solutions to the weaknesses identified by the planning and by the assessment of the institution, and may assist the management in the task of implementing sustainable actions.

Keywords : External evaluation; Internal evaluation; SINAES.
