RESUMO

The objective of this research was to examine the evaluative culture at the Federal University of Ceará based on social representations of the various segments of the *campi* academic units of Fortaleza, which participated in the Institutional Assessment Cycle 2005/2006 and ENADE 2008. We have tried to understand which are the social representations about the Institutional Evaluation of UFC, which is the knowledge level about the National System of Evaluation of Higher Education (SINAES) the internal community participation in the process of self-evaluation, which representations the students and coordinators of course have in the Students National Review of Performance (ENADE).The empirical basis of this research was conducted at the Federal University of Ceará, specifically in the academic units of the *campi* in Fortaleza that participated in the Institutional Assessment cycle of 2005/2006 and in undergraduate courses selected for the ENADE 2008. We used as subjects of the research social actors that integrate the various academic segments of the UFC: managers, supervisors, servants, technical administrative staff and students. Due to the specificity of this research, which has exploratory and descriptive nature, we used the inductive method which allowed us to make an analysis from the particular to the general, or make inferences from specific representations of each subject to the reality of the UFC. As the most appropriate instrument to use in the field research we used a questionnaire, previously structured by themes: for managers and technical administrative staff we made an investigation about the SINAES and the participation of internal community in the process of Institutional self-Evaluation of UFC and for the coordinators and students on the ENADE and students participation in the examination. In considering the representations of each segment we found out that they have a specific character, not for the fact of being subjective, but for the social dynamics to which they are produced and reproduced. The managers, coordinators, technical administrators and students representation present specificities concerning social insertion and interests which are inherent to each segment.
