Os desafios da Comissão Setorial Própria de Avaliação do Campus de Governador Valadares (CSPA-GV) no processo de Autoavaliação Institucional da Universidade Federal de Juiz de Fora

Abstract

This dissertation was developed in the scope of the Professional Master’s Degree in Management and Evaluation of Public Education (PPGP) of the Center for Public Policies and Evaluation of Education at the Federal University of Juiz de Fora (CAEd/UFJF). The management case studied addresses the Sectorial Evaluation Committee of the Governador Valadares (CSPA-GV) Campus. Created with the attribution of coordinating the Institutional Self-Assessment (AAI) of the GV Campus, the CSPA started its activities in 2014, in the context of implementation of the Campus, and adopted a series of initiatives over the first years to institutionalize and develop the AAI. However, as of 2016, it ceased to act as in previous years, which has impacted the development of AAI at the GV Campus and its participation in the AAI at the UFJF. Therefore, the guiding question defined for this study is: why has the Sectorial Evaluation Committee (CSPA) failed to advance in its institutionalization process at the Governador Valadares Campus? The defined objective for this study was to analyze why the CSPA-GV has failed to advance in its institutionalization process and to propose actions that contribute to the resumption of this process. The study starts from reflections on the institutionalization theory of Tolbert and Zucker (1998) and Berger and Luckmann (1996); concepts and notions around evaluation and institutional evaluation of Dias Sobrinho (1996, 2003), Belloni (1999), Brandalise (2010), Peixoto (2009). The research methodology is qualitative in nature, in which the case study was adopted, with documental research, bibliographical research and semi-structured interviews with the actors involved in the AAI process. The results of the research showed factors that hampered the evolution of the CSPA-GV in its institutionalization process, failing to advance to the sedimentation and complete legitimation phase. As the institutionalization process of the CSPA-GV is, still, ongoing, the commission has encountered challenges in building a culture of Institutional Self-Assessment within the scope of the GV Campus. Thus, an Educational Action Plan (PAE) will be presented whose objective is to suggest interventions that strengthen the CSPA-GV, with a view of its consolidation, and that minimizes the challenges encountered by the commission in coordinating and articulating the Institutional SelfAssessment process on the UFJF Campus in Governador Valadares.
