HEIDERSCHEIDT, Francisca Goedert  and  FORCELLINI, Fernando Antônio. History of institutional assessments and their change in value perception. Avaliação (Campinas) [online]. 2021, vol.26, n.1, pp.177-196. ISSN 1982-5765.  https://doi.org/10.1590/s1414-40772021000100010.

The assessment, especially the quality of education, is essential for society to know what is being produced in universities. Therefore, the search for quality in education has been the subject of study in several areas of knowledge, and it can be said that the area of institutional assessment has gained strength in recent years, given the challenges imposed by the diagnosis of how well the educational institutions are. Through institutional assessment, the reality of the institution is mapped, which is the substance for propositions of improvement actions. Thus, this article aims to identify what higher education institutions consider value in the evaluation process. This exploratory research analyzes the value in institutional assessment studies and points out innovation as the determining path. Innovation in this process becomes crucial and transition management is a lens that assists in the identification of the actors involved, as well as in the implementation of this socio-technical transition, focusing on social and cultural change.

Keywords : Higher education; Institutional assessment; Innovation.
