“…Some characteristics of accounting programs in Brazil make accounting education peculiar, especially as concerns the students (Mamede, Marques, Rogers, & Miranda, 2015). For instance, the students typically come from families with lower socioeconomic status; most of them are part-time students, and there is high demand for evening programs.…”

The Brazilian program of higher education evaluation, broadly known as the National Exam of Students' Performance (ENADE), represents a governmental effort to gather information on undergraduate educational quality. As a product of that evaluation, reports are made available to each program evaluated. Our present research addresses the impact of ENADE evaluation report utilization on multiple higher education accounting programs' performance in their subsequent evaluation. Based upon theoretical support from literature about evaluation use, a web-based survey was developed and provided across the country to the coordinators of accounting programs. From a response rate of 62% of the study target population and using multiple regressions, we found that there was a positive correlation between usage of the ENADE evaluation report and the performance of undergraduate accounting programs in their subsequent evaluation. Based upon the reviewed literature and, in accordance with these research results, it is possible to infer that the use of evaluation reports derived from the higher education evaluation system promoted by the Brazilian government can influence the decisions of educational institutions and promote improvement.

“…É fato que esta pesquisa possui limitações, tais como: o período de análise, o ensino recebido antes da graduação (Mainardes & Domingues, 2010), a relação dos discentes com a prática contábil (Mamede et. al., 2015), uma vez que metodologias ativas colocam o indivíduo bem próximo da realidade profissional (Gasque, 2008;Mitre et.…”

Uma reformulação na educação tem sido discutida pela comunidade científica com a finalidade de atender a novos objetivos nos processos de aprendizagem. É um desafio para universidades modificar o seu papel social, agregando novas metodologias de ensino nos seus programas de graduação para se inserirem neste contexto atual. A motivação deste estudo é verificar se a adoção de metodologias ativas de ensino no Curso de Ciências Contábeis de uma Instituição de Ensino Superior privada, situada na região da Zona da Mata mineira, contribuiu para o desempenho dos seus discentes, sendo caracterizado como desempenho, nesta pesquisa, a melhoria das notas dos estudantes. As metodologias ativas, atendendo a essa reformulação educacional, estão preocupadas em formar um estudante crítico capaz de atuar no mercado atual, de constantes mudanças. O período de estudo compreende os anos entre 2011 e 2014. Buscou-se responder à seguinte questão: há impacto no desempenho dos discentes do curso de Ciências Contábeis após a implantação de metodologias ativas na IES pesquisada? Para testar a hipótese proposta, utilizou-se o teste de médias T student e métodos de regressão. Os dados analisados foram coletados a partir de documentos cedidos pelos colaboradores da Instituição. Os resultados mostram que há evidências de que a utilização das metodologias ativas no Curso de Ciências Contábeis contribuíram para o desempenho dos estudantes, no período estudado.

“…One of the initial problems, which the researcher who seeks to study the academic performance faces, is the way to establish a method to measure it, once the academic performance can be considered a result of an extensive range of factors (Mamede et al, 2015). It is possible to find, in the scientific literature, researches that analysed individually: learning style, age, genre and number of absences, and present as result that these variables, in some cases, influenced the academic performance of the students in a significant way (Nogueira et al, 2013).…”

The academic performance of students can be impacted by several factors, among them the absenteeism (class absences) is one of the main responsible ones. In this way, this study had as objective to verify if there is any correlation between the final grades of the students and their absences in the classes during the semesters, in the courses of the Production Engineering program of University of Santa Cruz do Sul, Brazil. Based on the objectives, a descriptive research was employed, which used documentary research to perform the data collection. The data used were the absentee totals and the final grades of the students in each semester. A statistical analysis of correlation and linear regression was applied, and the result showed that there is a correlation between absenteeism and the students' academic performance. Although in some cases this correlation is not so significant, it was verified that missing classes decreases students' grades.
