Abstract

In this interview, professor Livio Amaral, who held the position of Director of the Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior [Evaluation of the Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel] (Capes) from 2009 to 2015, addresses questions about the validity and reliability of the evaluation of graduate programs, the criticism towards the predominantly quantitative view of the evaluation model adopted, as well as the relationship between the good productivity of professors, measured through their bibliographic production, and the grade obtained by graduate programs.
