A avaliação institucional como instrumento de política pública

Abstract

The evaluation is an important tool of state planning for the improvement of the public resources, the management and thecontrol of the society with respect to the actions of the government. In the case of Higher Education Institutions, institutional evaluations are carried out periodically. The results of these evaluations, in order to be effective and efficient, are fundamental to improving the models. Thus, institutional evaluation, as a public policy, serves to measure the results of the actions carried out, ie it is possible to verify if the action reached the objectives proposed in the planning. This work intends to contribute to the formulation of public policy focused on Higher Education Institutions in discussing the importance of institutional evaluation. For this purpose, the database was used, with annual information from the Public Universities for the period from 2000 to 2014, from the National Institute of Studies and Educational Research Anísio Teixeira. Given the results presented, on the level of investments, students enrolled and the teaching functions, it is imperative to emphasize the importance of institutional evaluation as a resource for implementing actions aimed at the improvement of the difficulties pointed out by students and teachers who participate in the evaluations.
