Indicadores de gestão do TCU e o desempenho dos cursos no Enade : um estudo de cursos de graduação

Abstract

Evaluation is a way to obtain feedback. The Audit Court (Tribunal de Contas da União – TCU) evaluates Federal Institutions of Higher Education (IFES)’ performances through nine management indicators and the Education and Culture Ministry (MEC) evaluates higher education institutions (IES)’ courses, among others indicators, through the courses Students National Survey (ENADE). Among various approaches on educational assessment, the CIPP evaluation model evaluates the institution in a systematic way, with the purpose of decision making, about four points of view: context, inputs, processes and products. This research aims at investigating the CIPP evaluation model perspective, if the TCU indicators management influence the courses ENADE performance. By this work objectives, it’s an explanatory research. By the problem approach, it’s quantitative because it employs multiple linear regression analysis to investigate the independent variables’ influence (indicators management TCU, per course) on the dependent variables (ENADE courses). As the techniques employed have to indirect documentation, including therein the literature and documents, as well as direct research, including therein the empirical research within the academic units FACED, FADIR and FEAAC, Federal University of Ceará (UFC) designed to test the research hypotheses. The results indicate that the courses object of analysis have different performances, however, the multiple regression analysis applied to the set of observations revealed that, among the nine TCU management indicators analyzed, only the gauge-equivalent employee per teacher-equivalent (FEPE) doesn’t influence ENADE outcomes, and the other indicators which influence ENADE outcomes, has four platforms CIPP model include variables that explain the behavior of the dependent variable.
