Avaliação experiencial do Programa de Promoção da Cultura Artística da Universidade Federal do Ceará

Abstract

Created in the midst of a national political situation to encourage the democratization of access advocated by the Support Program for Restructuring and Expansion of Federal Universities (REUNI), the Program for the Promotion of Artistic Culture (PPCA) focuses on supporting projects in the area of Culture and Art by granting scholarships to undergraduate students on the campuses of the Federal University of Ceará (UFC). The research proposes to present an analysis that articulates the text and context of the PPCA coordinated by the Secretariat of Culture of the Federal University of Ceará (Secult UFC) since its institution in 2013. The main objective of the study is to understand and evaluate the performance of the PPCA which concerns the experience of the scholarship holder based on the cultural capital acquired during the term of the scholarship. To this end, the research uses experiential evaluation (LEJANO, 2012), an approach that gives centrality to the subjects' subjectivities in understanding the policy. From the methodological perspective, the investigation has a qualitative nature and takes the performance of the PPCA as an empirical field. The aim of the research was to discuss the importance of this policy for the cultural field of the UFC and to present data, based on the content analysis (BARDIN, 2011) of the field research, for the generation of subsidies that help in the improvement of the Program. In this case, the speeches pointed to the need for investments in the cultural field, reducing bureaucracy in administrative processes, demanding greater integration between the Program's projects, and, primarily, validating the contribution of the PPCA in the training of the scholarship holder and in the their subsequent insertion into the labor market.
