RESUMO

This dissertation aims at understanding the implications of CAPES evaluation process in the day-to-day life in an educational graduate program. This research was done because of some different opinions about the validity of a national evaluation and its reflexes in the creation of Brazilian graduate courses. Based on ideas of some theorists such as Moraes, Horta, Bianchetti, Brandão, Sguissardi, Silva Jr, Gentili, Wedge, Morosini, Martins, Hostins, we discuss the relation between the historical Brazilian graduate courses and CAPES evaluation process; educational policies and the neoliberal State evaluation; and the graduate course day-to-day life and the experiences of its characters concerning CAPES evaluation. This research was developed in the Educational Graduate Program, in the Vale do Rio dos Sinos University, using the Discurso do Sujeito Coletivo methodology. We have created a questionnaire and have done interviews with the people involved in the program: coordinators, professors and students. Professors and coordinators have pointed out the contradictions and tensions experienced in their day-to-day work as well as their numerous activities, actions and reactions created in order to provide a new direction to the evaluation process. These peoples experiences have shown that being part of a graduate course usually means searching for alternatives to change the reality, that is, it is the programs identity that makes it a differential graduate course. However, despite all the existing movements that give meaning to the CAPES evaluation process, it is not yet recognized by the students of the Program. The students have said that most of them are not aware of CAPES evaluation process - with the exception of the scholarship holders who are pressured by deadlines and publication demands, or those few students who have significant functions, such as school representatives. Finally, the research points out the need of socialization of CAPES current evaluation process with students, as well as a review of all actions of the investigated program in the sense of continuing to be a differential in the Brazilian Graduate Course
