Percepção dos estudantes e professores da licenciatura em matemática do IFPI: Campus Corrente em relação ao ENADE

Abstract

There is a need to foster discussions about ENADE in the IFPI, Campus Corrente, since a significant number of students report informal conversations among colleagues who have never heard about ENADE and who have never been aware of proposals for discussions, seminars or similar initiatives about it on this Campus. This observation motivated the accomplishment of this qualitative research that addresses the perception of the academic community of IFPI - Campus Corrente in relation to ENADE, in the course of Mathematics Degree, in modules II, IV, VI and VIII on the results, requirements and importance of ENADE for the improvement of the quality of the offered education and aims to investigate the perception of this academic community regarding the responsibility in the results obtained by the IES in the ENADE, the attendance to the requirements of the exam and its importance for the improvement of the quality of the offered education. This research is based on Law 10,861 of April 14, 2004; in Normative Ordinance No. 840, of August 24, 2018; in Administrative Rule no. 515, dated June 14, 2018; in Edict No. 40, dated June 19, 2018 and in the view of educators such as Groot (1983), Bertolin (2007), Francisco et. Al. 2015; Bittencourt et. Al. 2010; Marta Avancini (2017); Polidori, Marinho-Araujo, Rothen (2006), Lavor (2014) and Paulo Goes (2018). As methodological procedures we used the bibliographic research that enabled the contact with several materials already written on the subject in question and that served as a theoretical basis for conducting the research. In accordance with the sample survey by means of the application of a semistructured questionnaire having as sample agents involved in the accomplishment of ENADE in the IFPI, Campus Corrente (General Director, Coordinator and former coordinator, teachers and students), consisting of 28 (twenty and eight) students of module II, 15 (fifteen) students of module IV, 10 (ten) students of module VI, 12 (twelve) students of module VIII, 8 (eight) teachers and 1 (one) director. In view of the information collected, we concluded that, at IFPI - Campus, Corrente, the ENADE is not being worked as it should have been, since we found inefficiency in the dissemination, lack of incentive to carry out this exam and noncompliance with ENADE requirements when working on classroom contents. We also note that the academic community of IFPI - Campus Corrente recognizes the importance of ENADE, but its results are neglected since there is no appropriation of this feedback in order to correct distortions and / or improve. Therefore, the information provided by the academic community accuses the need for involvement and commitment among all the agents involved as well as the need for discussions about the results obtained and their use to guide the pedagogical and administrative actions of the HEI and the course.
