Avaliação da pós-graduação em educação: questões, dilemas e algumas proposições

Abstract

This text works with the post-graduation assessment in Brazil giving special emphasis to the field of education. Its aim is to contribute to the debate about the evaluation practice and its importance to professor and researcher training and the national scientific production. To do so, it joins arguments about the historically settled themes as the main ones to be evaluated as well as discuses each of them giving suggestions for their evaluation. At the end, beyond the periodic evaluation of post-graduate studies, it suggests the importance of the establishment of a scientific policy to the field of education, which links teachers training and knowledge production avoiding that the evaluation becomes the only possible policy for the field.
