Análise crítica dos instrumentos de avaliação de cursos de graduação do Sinaes

Not long ago Sinaes completed a decade with the objective of improving the quality of the higher education. To achieve this goal, it is important that the evaluation tools and instruments have a good conceptual and technical adequacy. Thus, after ten years of implementation, it’s worth asking particularly in the context of the undergraduate courses, if the Sinaes instruments are able to distinguish ‘the good from the bad’. In order to contribute to the clarification of this issue, this article develops through the review of the literature and comparing the outputs, a critical analysis of courses instruments. The study showed that the in loco visits and Enade instruments may be neither valid nor reliable.
