The literature on the subject supports the power of evaluation programs under this policy to guide academic activities; nevertheless, there is no evidence of their effect in improving the substantive functions of universities. In this context, it is fundamental for academics to discuss alternative evaluation modes aiming at improving the quality of institutions.</span> |
