Análise do desempenho acadêmico Enem/Enade como instrumento de qualificação dos cursos de engenharia de produção no Brasil

Abstract

The present study aimed at mapping the possibility of creating an evaluation metric of academic performance by the student profile. It was also proposed to analyze the quality classification of Production Engineering courses in Brazil.This research sought to understand if the concept used in Enade, to classify the quality of the courses of Production Engineering, really indicates the reality of the course, or if this indicator reflects other academic performances, not directly linked to the quality of the course. To do so, a regression of the metric used to classify the quality of the course to be applied at the student level was created, and first, to verify if the result is relevant to identify the quality of the course, and later, if the quality of the course is linked to IES administrative category, or if it is linked to the student profile.It was concluded that the proportion of students classified by their performance in the Enem is more relevant to the classification of the quality of a course than the administrative category of the HEI, and that there is no difference in performance between students of HEIs of the Federal administrative category or Particular, that is, the quality of the course result is more dependent on the Enem performance of the students being evaluated in the course than in the HEI category.It is also possible to predict, with 72% assertiveness, the student ranking in Enade based only on the Enem grades. This result can be obtained in two ways: by multiple linear regression or by machine learning, by the Decision Tree method, the second being the one that best explains the behavior of the data.
