Há dúvidas, porém, sobre a qualidade dessa produção e de seus posteriores desdobramentos. Este estudo faz parte de uma pesquisa mais ampla que teve como objetivo principal avaliar a qualidade de teses e dissertações defendidas entre 2000 e 2004, cujo foco de investigação envolveu 13 cursos de graduação correspondentes a 7 grandes áreas do conhecimento. Levantamento junto a bases de dados permitiu localizar 436 trabalhos direcionados à Educação Superior. Desses, 36 deles foram considerados como os mais relevantes para a investigação pretendida. Para o presente artigo, após leituras e releituras desse material, passou-se à análise por unidades, tendo-se como referência 10 categorias levantadas através do exame detalhado de 12 trabalhos selecionados aleatoriamente. Os resultados obtidos apontam para níveis de qualidade superiores àqueles que este pesquisador tinha como pressuposto inicial. Os autores foram entrevistados, procurando-se identificar os desdobramentos de suas pesquisas em termos de divulgação dos resultados, contribuição para a Educação Superior e desenvolvimento de suas carreiras acadêmicas.]]></p></abstract>

This study is part of a broader research having as main purpose to evaluate the quality of theses and dissertations defended between 2000 and 2004 whose focus of investigation were 13 undergraduate programs in seven fields of knowledge. A survey on data bases permitted to locate 436 works related to higher education, of which 36 were considered as the most relevant for this research. For the present paper, after the readings and re-readings of the material, we made an analysis by units, having as reference 10 categories defined after detailed examination of twelve works randomly selected. The results obtained indicated levels of quality superior to those previously hypothesized. The authors were interviewed in order to identify the developments of their researches in terms of publication of results, contribution to higher education and advancement of their academic careers.]]></p></abstract>
