Apropriação da primeira dimensão do instrumento de avaliação para cursos de graduação pelos coordenadores do curso de pedagogia a distância da UFJF, UFMG e UFPB

Abstract

Distance learning is of fundamental importance to public policies regarding the increasing access to higher education and the training of new Pedagogy graduates. Therefore, it becomes essential to assess the quality of the Pedagogy courses offered via distance learning by the National System of Higher Education Assessment (SINAES). It becomes vital to apply the first dimension (pedagogical-didactic organization), of the instrument for assessment of undergraduate courses conducted by Sinaes, to the work of coordinators from the Pegagogy courses offered by the Federal University of Juiz de Fora (UFJF), the Federal University of Minas Gerais (UFMG) and the Federal University of Paraíba (UFPB). Such institutions were the first ones to have their distance learning Pedagogy courses assessed by such instrument. The first dimension of the instrument disposes the principles that subsidize the planning and organizing of the course, reflecting its management. We present, in this dissertation, the instrument for assessing distance learning Pedagogy courses by Sinaes, its use by the course coordinators, and, basing ourselves in interviews with key actors, we present an intervention plan aimed to understanding SINAES`s instrument and the process of assessment, thus articulating internal and external evaluations.
