Desafios e aprendizados na institucionalização de um sistema de avaliação em uma universidade federal

Abstract

The present article aims to bring analytical reflections about the author 's experience in the process of building an evaluation system and its imbrications with the institutional development. This article was written as a basis to support the author's participation in the Advanced Course on Evaluation of Policies, Programs and Services promoted by the UNIFESP Health Evaluation Laboratory and structured to answer the guiding questions: "Why do I evaluate?", "How do I evaluatet?" and "What did I learn when evaluating?". Starting from the legal demand for systems of evaluation in Higher Education Institutions and the analysis of their configurations and possibilities in the case of UFABC, we conclude that it is crucial to have personnel dedicated to the subject and the support of the higher management for the process to become a formal system of evaluation.
