Análise e proposições do processo de avaliação socioeconômica na Universidade Federal da Grande Dourados

Abstract

The Federal Institutions of Higher Education (IFES) carry out the socioeconomic evaluation of the students with the goal of identifying the vulnerable according to Decree No. 7.234 / 2010, which provides for the National Program of Student Assistance (PNAES). Although this decree establishes parameters such as per capita income up to a minimum wage and a half for this identification, there is not any unification of criteria and processes among the IFES. The goal of this work is to analyze the process of socioeconomic evaluation at UFGD during period from 2013 to 2016 and the practices used in other IFES. The methodology used in the study was the descriptive and documentary research to analyze the time between the entry and the first scholarship receiving and the use of quantitative and qualitative approaches to data analysis. In 2017, a survey conducted by the Pro-Rectorate for Community and Student Affairs (PROAE) found that 66% of respondents do not consider the time between the documentation socioeconomic assessment delivery and the first scholarship receiving to be ideal. Through analysis of PROAE calls for proposals, a long period was observed until the first scholarship was received. Analyzes of processes and methodologies of socioeconomic evaluation were done in other IFES in order to identify the processes and procedures adopted in them and which can be applied from the UFGD. The results demonstrated that the process requires revision and the procedures need to be improved in order to enhance the effectiveness of the student assistance policy in the institution. Thus, in this work are proposed improvements to the process of socioeconomic evaluation at UFGD.
