Relato interpretativo do processo de avaliação institucional da Universidade Estadual Paulista (Unesp), com ênfase na metodologia do seu desenvolvimento. Mediante um trabalho coletivo numa rede de relações democráticas, a avaliação realizou-se por um processo valorativo das atividades relevantes às funções-fim da instituição, à vista de seus recursos e de seu contexto sociohistórico. Iniciada com a avaliação dos seus 207 departamentos agrupados segundo seus campos de pesquisa e ensino (Ciências Humanas, Biológicas e Exatas), a experiência deflagrou "uma atividade particular, contínua e cíclica, incorporando vários métodos e envolvendo várias fases e operações" nos seus 15 campi e 24 unidades universitárias no período 1991-1994. As informações foram obtidas de indicadores selecionados pelos departamentos das unidades universitárias, tendo em vista objetivos e princípios previamente definidos. É em consonância com estes que se pode afirmar que a avaliação da Unesp contribuiu para o desenvolvimento de um processo de reflexão e debate favorável à construção de uma autoconsciência institucional e de uma identidade explícita, além de fornecer subsídios para a tomada de decisões que favoreçam a implementação de um projeto de universidade definido coletivamente. Palavras-Chave: avaliação institucional; indicadores; Comissão Permanente de Avaliação Acadêmica (CPAA); modelos estatísticos. Abstract The article analyses the institutional evaluation process of Universidade Estadual Paulista (Unesp) underlying the methodology of its development. Within a democratic relation network the evaluation was carried out through a process that describes and assess those activities that are relevant for both the functions and the goals of the institution, in view of its resources and social-historic context. The work starts evaluating 207 departments that make up the Unesp, classified into three groups of research and teaching (Human and Biology Sciences, Tecnology). The evaluation created "an especific, continuous and cyclical activity that involves different phases and operations" in its 15 campi and 24 university units, during the period 1991-1994. The information was gotten from indicators selected by the university units departments that took into consideration the objectives and principles which were previously defined. This Unesp evaluation has become helpful for the development of a process of continuous reflexion and debate that aims to build up an institutional self-conciousness and an explicit identity as well as providing finantial support for taking decisions that promote the implementation of a university project that is defined collectively.

Este artículo presenta un estudio realizado en el marco del compromiso de mejoramiento resultante de un proceso de autoevaluación de la carrera de Bachillerato en Francés. El estudio, realizado por docentes de la comisión de autoevaluación de la carrera, contó con la asesoría del Centro de Evaluación Académica e indagó sobre los medios de información y comunicación más utilizados por su estudiantado, con el fin de optimizar la divulgación y la comunicación de temas relativos a la carrera. Los resultados obtenidos reflejan que, posiblemente como resultado del desarrollo tecnológico, las personas universitarias jóvenes privilegian la comunicación de aspectos académicos por medios más dinámicos y que las unidades académicas no utilizan el mismo canal de comunicación que usan y prefieren estos; esta situación supone retos para el diseño de estrategias de divulgación de diversos aspectos académicos derivados de los procesos de calidad y mejora continua de las carreras universitarias, en donde se transita de un modelo de comunicación de masas – unidireccional- a un modelo de comunicación en red – más horizontal.COMMUNICATE AND INFORM STUDENTS: CHALLENGES FOR THE UNIVERSITIES' COMMITMENT WITH IMPROVEMENT AbstractThis article presents a study made conducted in the framework of a self-evaluation process of the French Language Baccalaureate program at the Universidad de Costa Rica (UCR) in 2015.  The study was carried out by THE staff in charge of the self-evaluation process, and relied on the advice of the Center for Academic Evaluation. It examines the communication and information media or mechanisms that were most used by the students, in order to improve the communication of information related to the program. The results of the study suggest that young university students prefer more dynamic media, while the academic units tend to privilege other communication channels. This situation poses a challenge regarding the design of the communication strategies to be used to convey aspects of the quality assurance and continuous improvement plans of the university majors. A transition from unidirectional mass-communication schemes to more horizontal networking schemes is to be expected.Keywords: self-evaluation process; commitment to improvement; quality certification; media; information; communication

UNSTRUCTURED DattaMeghe Institute of Medical Sciences has been declared as Deemed to be University [DMIMS (DU)] under section 3 of UGC Act, 1996 in the year 2005. The University examinations are conducted as per the rules, regulations and guidelines issued by the various Apical councils of India from time to time. The first University exam was conducted in the year 2006. DMIMS (DU) has initiated various reforms by its own in assessment and evaluation process based on needs. For any system to thrive, it needs to be constantly upgraded and critically evaluated. Therefore, a study is undertaken with this in mind and thereby aimed at evaluation and validation of the assessment and evaluation reforms formulated and implemented at DMIMS (DU) since its inception (year 2006).Need analysis for the assessment and evaluation reforms will be carried out on the basis of feedbacks and reports received from respective stakeholders (Students, Faculty and External examiners) from time to time. Outcome analysis of the Feedbacks and reports will be done subsequently after the implementation of the assessment and evaluation reforms. Further based on the outcome analysis, reforms will be validated into following parameters: Objectivity, Responsiveness, User friendliness, Residual component (not covered in above 3 parameters)and a satisfactory index will be derived. If satisfactory index for reform is 100%, it will be concluded that reforms are well received and good to excellent in nature. Total 33 assessment and evaluation reforms have beenimplemented since year 2006. These reforms will be categorised into Pre-Examination (n=18), On Site Examination (n=05) and Post Examination (n=10), and in each category, they will befurther classified into academic (Total =15) and administrative (Total = 18) on the basis of their domain for the ease of structuring and implementation.All the 33 reforms will be validated on the basis of defined parameters. They will be found satisfactory.

ABSTRACT Ellen Gleditsch (1879-1968) became Norway's first authority of radioactivity and the country's second female professor. After several years in international centers of radiochemistry, Gleditsch returned to Norway, becoming associate professor and later full professor of chemistry. Between 1916 and 1946 Gleditsch tried to establish a laboratory of radiochemistry at the University of Oslo, a career which included network building, grant applications, travels abroad, committee work, research, teaching, supervision, popularization, and war resistance work. Establishing a new field was demanding; only under her student, Alexis Pappas, was her field institutionalized at Oslo. This paper presents Gleditsch's everyday life at the Chemistry Department, with emphasis on her formation of a research and teaching laboratory of radiochemistry. Her main scientific work during this period is presented and discussed, including atomic weight determination of chlorine, age calculations in minerals, the hunt for actinium's ancestor and investigations on 40K.

Universities fulfill the mission of carrying out teaching, research and extension based on a recognition of education as an instrument of social transformation. In this sense, public institutions are being increasingly charged for the efficiency and effectiveness of their actions. From this context, evaluation mechanisms emerge to measure effectiveness and assign concepts to Higher Education Institutions (HEIs). From the recognition of the instruments that recommend the institutional evaluation in Brazil, the mention of the planning actions, the Institutional Development Plan (PDI) becomes strategic, and in this it is observed as an indicator to be inserted, the accompaniment of graduates of undergraduate and postgraduate courses. The objective of the research is to identify the actions and goals foreseen in the IDPs of Brazilian federal universities in the Southeast region to follow up their graduates. The development of this work was through the qualitative approach with documentary research, by searching the university websites for the available institutional information. The results point to two distinct contexts, in which most of the researched institutions inserted in their macro-document the theme, one group aims to implement the policy and another group intends to advance to other follow-up stages, since it is a policy already institutionalized.

This paper examines the prevalent notion that that the production of knowledge, academic research and teaching can and ought to be audited and assessed in the same manner as the production of other goods and services. The emphasis on similarities between industry and the academy leads to a neglect of fundamental differences in their aims and, as a consequence, a tendency to evaluate scientific research in terms of patents and product development and colleges and universities in terms of the labour market. The article examines the idea of the free academy, on the one hand, and compares and contrasts it to the idea of free enterprise, on the other. It is argued that the view of the university as a supplier of specific solutions for pre-determined, non-scientific needs (a workforce with skills currently in demand, innovations for commercial partners, justifications for political decisions, etc) undermines the public legitimacy of university science and weakens the fabric of scientific training and practice. The article proposes that the university’s main purpose must be to provide a recognized neutral, autonomous agency of rigorous, disinterested investigation and scientific education, which constitutes a necessary condition for an enlightened liberal democracy: an informed, capable and critical citizenry.

[first paragraph of article]Galileo Galilei (1564–1642), professor of mathematics at the University of Padua from 1592 to 1610, was a pillar in the history of our University and a symbol of freedom for research and teaching, well stated in the university motto ‘‘Universa Universis Patavina Libertas’’ (Total freedom in Padua, open to all the world). He invented the experimental method, based on evidence and calculation (‘‘science is measure’’) and was able, by using the telescope, to confirm the Copernican heliocentric theory, a challenge to the Bible. Bertrand Russell (1872–1970), in his book ‘‘The Problems of Philosophy’’ stated: ‘‘Almost everything that distinguishes modern world from earlier centuries is attributable to science, which achieved the most spectacular triumphs in the seventeenth century. Together with Harvey, Newton and Keplero, Galileo was a protagonist of this scientific revolution in the late Renaissance’’.

The Way

The diffusion of Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) is significantly changing the way people learn and update their knowledge and competencies. Although the benefits characterizing MOOCs, which leverage on free and open access to know-how and digitized materials, there are some challenges which call for improving and enhancing the existing methods and approaches for MOOCs design. By combining theory and practice, this paper presents a process of MOOCs design based on a double-loop phase of evaluation. Specifically, the paper provides evidences on how to take advantage of the learners’ and teachers’ feedback to redesign or rethink the course’s architecture, and especially the storyboard and blueprint. A pilot application of the proposed approach has been made to design a course dealing with entrepreneurship domain, and in particular with crowdfunding. The results of the application are presented to validate the approach and provide teachers and course’s designers with some recommendations.
