Auto avaliação e gestão institucional: análise da experiência do Instituto Federal da Paraíba

Abstract

The purpose of this dissertation was to analyze the level of influence of the process of institutional self-evaluation, carried out by the Own Evaluation Committee (CPA), in the decisions of the managers of the Federal Institute of Education Science and Technology of Paraiba (IFPB), considering the evaluation cycle of 2015 to 2017. The study was based on a theoretical reference the evaluation theme, and in particular on the evolution of the institutional evaluation over the years, focusing on the process of self evaluation, managed by CPA in each institution. The research presented a descriptive character, of the case study type, and was carried out at the Campus João Pessoa IFPB. Data collection was performed through semi-structured interview scripts and documentary research. The interview took place with two groups. The first one was formed by the managers of IFPB Campus João Pessoa, including the general, administrative and teaching directors, as well as the senior course coordinators of this Campus. The second group was composed of members of the IFPB CPA. This work was based on the analysis of the qualitative approach, thus, considering the characteristics of the investigation, and the procedures of data collection, these were analyzed according to the technique of content analysis proposed by Bardin (2006) and also by means of documentary analyze. The results of the research show that among the stages of the self-evaluation process developed in the IFPB the biggest gaps are found in the definition (which involves the planning) in the execution and in the discussion and dissemination of the results. The repercussion of self-assessment in management is still low, considering as the main factor for this the fact that managers are not included in the self-evaluation process and because disclosure of information occurs in a passive way, without promoting dialogue with the managers and with the academic community. It is concluded that IFPB evaluation has not yet been established as an educational/formative process, regulatory aspects are predominant, the results obtained in the evaluation are still not well utilized by management and the involvement of the social body is still below the expected. It is necessary to make the academic community get involved in the process, constructing an evaluation that has its importance recognized, with results that make a difference for people’s work and for the performance of the institution, not only comply with the established legal determinations, only then, self evaluation will be able to reverberate on the decisions of IFPB managers.
