Abstract

The present dissertation is developed under the Professional Master in Education Management and Evaluation (PPGP) of the Center of Public Policies and Education Evaluation of the Federal University of Juiz de Fora (CAEd/UFJF). The management studied case intended to investigate for what reasons the Evaluation Committee - CPA, Federal University of Juiz de Fora - UFJF, does not articulate its annual institutional self - assessment reports - RAAI with what is foreseen in the Institutional Development Plan - PDI of the UFJF, regarding financial sustainability? The general objective defined for this research is to analyze the reasons of the disarticulation between the self-evaluation reports and the PDI regarding the financial sustainability dimension of the UFJF. This objective was subdivided in in the following specific objectives: i) Presenting the Institutional Development Plan and the University's selfassessment system and how it was carried out in the UFJF; ii) Analyze the PDI and the annual self-assessment reports - RAAI with regard to the financial sustainability dimension, showing their articulation inconsistencies regarding this dimension; iii) To demonstrate the reasons that contribute to the disarticulation of the RAAIs, with respect to the financial sustainability dimension, with the forecasts of the PDI / UFJF; vi) To propose a new evaluation vision of the implementation and management of the PDI, in terms of the financial sustainability dimension, in order to make these evaluations a fundamental tool in its monitoring. For this, a case study was carried out through documentary analysis, covering the norms pertinent to the planning and evaluation of Higher Education and its elaboration process within the UFJF, the subject bibliographic analysis, and the application of an interview with the actors involved in the university's planning, evaluation and budget execution process. The results demonstrated the absence of a minimum content in the information presents in the planning process, referring to financial sustainability, jeopardizing the PDI objectives as a management tool for the UFJF. These themes were aborted in the Plan of Educational Action, idealized for the development of the process of planning and evaluation with a view to strengthening the university for improvement of the offered education quality.
