The present work describes the viewa of the author on what concerns the
relations between the established power and the evaluation processes
that are being followed in different countries in Europe and in South
America, namely Brazil. The need for more transparency in the use of
public funds is possibly the main reasson for the pressure the
gouverments are putting over the universities, imposing or suggesting
institutional and/or thematic evaluation procedures. The Portuguese
experience is presented in detail, refering to the positive relations
that presently exist between the governments and the institutions that
represents the Portuguese universities. Maria Concepcion Peleteiro Key words: Structures of power, institutional evaluation, education quality, Portuguese universities. |
