SOUZA, Marianne Pereira de  y  REAL, Giselle Cristina Martins. REGIONAL QUALITY REVEALED BY SYSTEM OF REGIONAL ACCREDITATION OF UNIVERSITY COURSES OF MERCOSUR. Eccos Rev. Cient. [online]. 2019, n.51, e14548.  Epub 29-Ene-2024. ISSN 1983-9278.  https://doi.org/10.5585/eccos.n51.14548.

The work has as object the conception of quality revealed in the results of the first cycle of the System of Regional Accreditation of University Courses of Mercosur. The documentary research conducted seeks to answer the following problem: what do the results of the first cycle reveal about the quality of undergraduate courses accredited by the regional system? In summary, the results show that regional quality is based on different parameters, and therefore it is not possible to affirm that there is a single quality standard for all accredited courses that is above the national quality of the member countries of the system. It can be inferred that the political and social dimension of education is not a priority in the implementation of regional accreditation, a process that would have as a prerogative the guarantee and quality improvement. And, considering the competitive nature of accreditation and its assessment model, some countries end up formally meeting the criteria established at the regional level. In such cases, the valuation will be used to gather the elements necessary to achieve the possible regulatory effects of the System, that is, the automatic recognition of titles in Mercosur countries.
