Self-Evaluation
PPGQ-IQUSP recognizes the importance of a culture of continuous self-evaluation for program improvement.
Continuous Evaluation
The annual evaluation of the Program is fundamental to assess the effectiveness of knowledge generation processes and human resource training. The methodology is structured in multiple stages:
Evaluation Forms
Electronic forms are periodically sent to different groups:
| Group | Objective |
|---|---|
| Master’s Students | Evaluate academic experience, support received, and challenges faced |
| Doctoral Students | Understand academic needs and preparation for scientific career |
| Postdoctoral Researchers | Identify quality of integration and development perspectives |
| Alumni | Evaluate program impact on career and maintain active connection |
| Staff | Improve integration and understand operational bottlenecks |
| Permanent Faculty | Collect data on advising challenges and program structure |
| Collaborating Faculty | Understand the role of collaborators and how to optimize it |
| Coordination | Self-evaluation of management based on goals, processes, and impact |
Interviews and Focus Groups
Meetings with student and faculty representatives to deepen emerging themes from quantitative evaluations. These occur during the PPGQ-IQUSP Annual Workshops.
Indicator Analysis
Monitoring of metrics such as:
- Average time to degree
- Dropout rate
- Faculty productivity
- Career placement of alumni
- Participation in scientific events
