Implicações do Sinaes na gestão da educação superior: análise micropolítica

Abstract

The article discusses the implications of the National Evaluation System for Higher Education (SINAES) based on a research carried out in two graduation courses from two Higher Education Institutions: one public institution and a private one. In the research, institutional documents, questionnaires applied to students and professors from the respective courses and semi-structured interviews with the institutions' managers are analyzed. The theoretical approach of the research is based on the studies which analyze the institutions in the micropolitical perspective, whose goal is to understand how the subjects process, resignify and reproduce the policies outlined in the governments scope - in this case, the evaluation policies -, giving new meaning to their experiences that may contribute to the overcoming and/or maintenance of the current capitalist order. In both institutions, data demonstrate that, when under a management perspective, the search for results is increasingly changing into a natural practice that creates an institutional identity to be shared among the managers regardless the type of institution they operate.
