Mudanças nos pesos do CPC e seu impacto nos resultados de avaliação em universidades federais e privadas

Abstract

Resumo: Desde a implantação do Sistema Nacional de Avaliação da Educação Superior (SINAES), CHANGES IN THE WEIGHTS OF THE CPC AND THEIR IMPACT ON RESULTS OF EVALUATION IN FEDERAL AND PRIVATE UNIVERSITIES. This paper aims to analyze the effect of the weights used in the CPC, and especially consider the impact that some changes would have on the CPC of programs offered by private and federal universities in Brazil.

A Quantitative Analysis of the Quality of Pharmacy Education in Brazil

“…According to MEC, the CC indicator is considered a definitive classification; however, the CPC is more important to measure the quality of undergraduate courses in Brazil. 17 The CPC is composed of three dimensions and respective weights: student's performance -55% (student's score in the ENADE and the score in the indicator of the difference between observed and expected performances); faculty -30% (the number of MSc and PhD professors and type of employment contract) and the students' perception of the conditions of the training process -15%. 16,18,19 As the ENADE and CPC indicators are composed of dimensions and weights, it is worth remembering that the researchers in the present study had access only to the final indices -and not to the dimensions that composed them.…”

“…In the present study, the CPC was chosen as the main indicator to measure quality. 17 Schools with CPC grades of 1 or 2 are automatically included in the on-site evaluation schedule while schools with grades equal to or greater than three may choose not to receive the evaluators' visit and thus transform the CPC into CC. 18 For analytical purposes, the indicators ENADE, CC and CPC were interpreted based on the MEC quality classification system for undergraduate schools, where, grade 1 = nonexistent school; grade 2 = insufficient; grade 3 = sufficient; grade 4 = very good; grade 5 = excellent; and no grade (NG), for schools with less than two participants.…”

“…The CPC may have been influenced by the hiring of PhD professors, an increasingly less common procedure in the private sector, as reported by Bittencourt (2010) in a study of the impact of the CPC in public and private institutions. Private schools have a great advantage over public institutions when it comes to facilities, infrastructure and didactic resources, which may explain CPC grades of 4.…”

“…Studies carried out in Brazil show that the ENADE component presents better quality in public institutions. 17 Measuring the quality of a higher education institution means checking for minimum requirements such as knowledge production, technological innovations, partnerships between universities, research institutes and the productive sector, research on relevant social issues, and development of social technologies. 20 The demand for this quality is regulated by the establishment of performance indicators and associated national standards with a view to improving the quality of education.…”

Conceito preliminar de curso: conceito único para uma realidade educacional múltipla

“…Ademais, o desempenho é um produto mensurável do processo, mais simples de ser apreendido pelo público não especializado do que os juízos de valor. E, por fim, como apontado por Fernandes et al (2009, p. 6 Dentre os estudos realizados acerca do Enade, e especificamente do CPC, destacam-se a discussão sobre o processo de avaliação das instituições de educação superior brasileiras no período de 1995 a 2009 e o uso de exames gerais em avaliações de larga escala, conduzida por Dias Sobrinho (2010), e o impacto das mudanças na composição dos pesos do CPC na avaliação das IES (BITTENCOURT et al, 2010 universidades públicas e privadas, centros universitários privados e faculdades privadas; 4. estabelecer o grau de generalização do CPC.…”
