Research on the Avoidance of Moral Hazard in Higher Education Evaluation of China Under Multi-agent Mode

Although the relation between accountability and learning is a key issue in the field of evaluation, the existing conceptualizations include significant gaps and shortcoming. This article seeks to bridge some of the identified gaps, overcoming the dichotomy between learning and accountability and the overemphasis on accountability, and offering a more nuanced account of various forms of positive and negative learning. We propose a theory-informed reconceptualization of both accountability and learning in order to develop an interpretative framework that recognizes their plurality and brings them together through evaluation. To make visible the analytical potential of our reconceptualization, we present the Italian higher education evaluation system as a source of illustrative examples. Our analysis confirms that accountability and learning are inextricably interconnected and that multiple forms of learning can be envisaged by taking into account the mutual relationship among organizational arrangements, evaluative practices and cultural codes. We argue that such kind of analysis allows to remove the taken-for-granted aspects of evaluation practices, challenging the often-implicit assumptions about their virtues as well as their weaknesses in order to see what evaluation actually does in a particular situation.

Evaluation Of Policies

Partindo da constatação de que a oferta de vagas na educação superior é sobre tudo privada, este trabalho pretende identificar os perfis dos bolsistas beneficiados pelo Programa Universidade para Todos (ProUni), considerando três cursos: Pedagogia, Medicina e Direito. Para tanto, o recurso foi o da avaliação de políticas, tal como formulado no campo de políticas públicas. Foram analisados os microdados do questionário socioeducacional aplicado por ocasião da realização do Exame Nacional de Desempenho dos Estudantes (Enade), no período entre 2008 e 2013. Os dados permitem concluir que o ProUni é bem-sucedido quanto às metas estabelecidas, garantindo a inserção de jovens pobres, oriundos principalmente da escola pública. Contudo, os dados também possibilitam afirmar que o programa é limitado quanto ao seu escopo, pois as diferenças identificadas entre os bolsistas dos três cursos analisados sugerem que há uma reprodução das desigualdades educacionais.Palavras-chave: Políticas Educacionais, Avaliação de Programas, Prouni, Desigualdades Educacionais.

Debateon the democratization of access to higher education: evaluation of ProuniBased on the fact that the majority of vacancies in higher education is mainly in private schools in Brazil, this study aims to identify the profiles of the beneficiaries of the program University for All (ProUni). It considers three courses: Pedagogy, Medicine and Law. The research resource used was the evaluation of policies established in the field of public policies. The microdata collected, using the socio-educational questionnaire during the application of Enade between 2008 and 2013, were analyzed. These data allow us to conclude that ProUni has been successful in terms of its established goals of ensuring the access of poor young people coming from public schools, to higher education. However, the data also allow us to affirm that the program is limited in scope, since the differences identified among the benefitted students in the different courses suggest that there is a reiteration of the educational inequalities.Keywords:Educational Policies, Program Evaluation, Prouni, Educational Inequalities.
