Summary: This research aims to critically understand the process of institutional self-evaluation in the perspectives of the National System of Evaluation of Higher Education (SINAES) at the Federal University of Espírito Santo (UFES), from 2004 to 2015, seeking to analyze the approach adopted in the evaluation process , Whether formative or controlling. This study contemplates the bibliographic review and documentary research about the planning, execution and results of the evaluation process at federal level in the country. It presents considerations about the trajectory of
Evaluation of higher education in Brazil, especially in the context of
Counterreformation of the State and dismantling of social policies, having as reference the categories and concepts: contemporary capitalism, regulatory state, counter-reform of higher education, formative evaluation and meritocratic evaluation.
In this work the SINAES and its institutional self-assessment actions are
Understood as actions of educational policy that aim at the self-knowledge of the higher education institution through the academic community in the search for improvement in the quality of teaching and services provided by the institution. These actions expand in a contradictory process in a context of structural crisis of capitalism, manifesting controlling focus and formative approach, with
Prevalence of the former. As a result of this research it was possible to identify advances and limits in the process of institutional self-evaluation developed at UFES. On the one hand, we highlight the gradual recognition of the importance of self-evaluation and the need to move beyond the basic requirements of the evaluation process, and on the other hand, the persistence of a culture of non-evaluation and a still bureaucratic process And merely technical, provision of
Accounts, with incipient advances in the evaluation process.
