Indicadores de gestão universitária: comparativo das universidades estaduais do nordeste

Abstract

This study analyzed the university management indicators present in performance evaluations of state universities in Northeast Brazil. Therefore, the objective of this study was to analyze the criteria for evaluating university management used in rankings that classify state universities in Northeast Brazil, focusing on the elements that directly influence their institutional performance. The methodology was bibliographic and documentary, since data was collected from official documents of the National Institute of Educational Studies and Research Anísio Teixeira (Inep) and Higher Education Institutions (IES). The approach used was mixed-methods (qualitative and quantitative). The study examined how the indicators are constituted and how they influence the institutional development of Higher Education Institutions (IES). The main results found throughout the study were that smaller institutions, in certain cases, present higher percentages than universities with a larger number of courses. It is concluded that the indicators contribute to more assertive decisions regarding the improvement of university management in the context of Northeast Brazil.
