Abstract

A consistent management to provide quality and sustainability in higher education institutions is what has caused debate in the educational segment. The concern with results for the SINAES (National Higher Education Assessment System) developed by the Ministry of Education is one of the important points of this process. One of the obligations contained in SINAES is the establishment of the CPA (Committee for assessment), which aims to conduct internal evaluations in an IES. The self-assessments, under the responsibility of the CPA, play a fundamental role in the development and improvements in institutions and thus deserve attention if used effectively as inputs to the planning of the organization. Thus, this study aims to identify how is the relationship between the results of self-assessments and planning processes in IES. Several interviews were conducted with managers and coordinators responsible for CPA and Strategic Planning or PDI - Institutional Development Plan, all higher education institutions, and private and public in the State of Rio Grande do Sul. The statements of the respondents showed that everyone is aware of the importance of coordination exists between self-assessment and strategic planning processes, however, there are no reports of a methodology, in any institution, to determine a pattern of synchronized application of these activities, the joint is made as needed, through the delivery of reports to the rectory and coordinators.
