Resumo
The present study provided an overview of evaluation data from the “Sucupira
Platform,” questionnaires with post-graduate deans, discussion forums, and
international databases to assess the Brazilian post-graduate evaluation
system. The system is highly standardised and homogenous throughout the
country with little flexibility. There is a disconnect with ongoing changes in
international graduate studies, especially regarding the possibility of adopting
flexible and temporary doctoral projects in international partnerships. The
evaluation focuses mainly on process, not results, impact, and social relevance.
Although the current system requires strategic planning and self-assessment,
these are not used when evaluating results. The system should be sensitive
to differences, valuing the diversity of institutional projects. Changes in the
evaluation require a clear timeline and careful definition of indicators. The
improvement of information collection must occur in coordination with CNPq,
and the new data collecting platform must be able to import information from
various sources (RAIS, Lattes, WIPO, PrInt, etc.). According to their purposes,
the separate indication in CAPES’ spreadsheets on the legal status of private
and community/confessional institutions is fundamental for improved data
analysis. The assignment of grades rather than scores (e.g., in implementation,
consolidated nationally/internationally) is questioned.
