CHAVES, Simone Edi e CECCIM, Ricardo Burg. Higher Education external evaluation in the health area: concerns and the size of margins. Interface (Botucatu) [online]. 2015, vol.19, n.55, pp. 1233-1242. Epub 08-Set-2015. ISSN 1807-5762. http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/1807-57622014.0728.
This is a reflective paper addressing the principles and values that precede or succeed evaluative processes at health-related educational institutions. It seeks to put the external evaluation processes conducted during undergraduate health-related programs up for debate. It addresses both objective and subjective issues relating to in-situ contact, which is fundamental to grasping what is “really” being taught. Independent of what can be indicated regarding precisely “how” or “what” to evaluate or which measures and standards to use, it is necessary to “reflect on” and “want” an evaluation that relates to what we are getting across through our pedagogical practices. This text sets out to show the strength that is in the dimension “of the margins”, a dimension that is not envisaged in the evaluation system.
