摘要:This paper discusses the effects of the current master’s and doctoral courses evaluation model adopted by the Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel (Capes) on professors’ work, from the perspective of professors from two programs in Education in the Midwest region of Brazil. One program belongs to a public institution and the other to a private, denominational one. The results show that evaluation policy criteria focusing on quantitativist criteria of assessment, to the detriment of the qualitative aspects of the education and community outreach activities, undermines the faculties’ work conditions and consequently affects the quality of education. This situation must be urgently reevaluated.
