Abstract

Criticisms and suggestions provided to CAPES (The National Council for the Improvement of Higher Education) by
the coordinators of Graduate Programs,from all fields, in the computer program “Coleta CAPES / 2004”, were the
primary source for this article. The information collected was divided into five groups: criticisms of the homogenizing nature of the model; criticisms of the emphasis on quantity and productivity; criticisms of the absence of indicators for social indicators for the Programs’ activities and proposals
to introduce these indicators; international insertion and consequences of the assessment. In each of the
groups, these criticisms and suggestions were exemplified and compared with previous studies about the same subject
and with official documents from CAPES.
