Advancing the evaluation of graduate education: towards a multidimensional model in Brazil
Organised into four parts, the study opens by tracing the historical evolution of graduate education and its evaluative mechanisms in Brazil. The following section introduces an international perspective to the country's research system and its evaluation, including a comparative analysis with the evaluation model practiced in The Netherlands. The third part adopts a mixed-methods analysis to examine fundamental evaluative instruments in the Brazilian context, notably those pertaining to scholarly publication...Show moreThis dissertation offers an in-depth evaluation of the Brazilian National System of Graduate Education (SNPG), overseen by the Brazilian Agency for Support and Evaluation of Graduate Education (CAPES). Anchored at the crossroads of research evaluation, scientometrics, and science policy, the study employs a multi-faceted methodology to dissect the complex dynamics between evaluation mechanisms, academic productivity, societal influence, and policy repercussions in Brazil.
Organised into four parts, the study opens by tracing the historical evolution of graduate education and its evaluative mechanisms in Brazil. The following section introduces an international perspective to the country's research system and its evaluation, including a comparative analysis with the evaluation model practiced in The Netherlands. The third part adopts a mixed-methods analysis to examine fundamental evaluative instruments in the Brazilian context, notably those pertaining to scholarly publication metrics. The final part confronts the challenges precipitated by the SNPG's rapid expansion and advocates for self-assessment approaches as a means to integrate a more multi-dimensional evaluation framework.
In its conclusion, the research cautions that Brazil's performance-oriented evaluation model, while fostering scientific development, may inadvertently stifle innovation and diversity. The author argues in favor of revising existing paradigms to adopt a more context-sensitive and holistic evaluative approach.
