PROPOSAL FOR PERFORMANCE INDICATORS TO EVALUATE THE CONTRIBUTIONS OF PIBIC IN THE ACADEMIC AND SCIENTIFIC TRAINING OF STUDENTS GRADUATES WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THE FACULTY OF TECHNOLOGY OF THE FEDERAL UNIVERSITY OF AMAZONAS – UFA

Abstract

Faced with a reality of constant change and competitiveness, new skills and competencies are required every day to operate in a diffuse and complex society. Scientific Initiation Programs are an excellent way to promote and teach scientific skills that will allow you to achieve these new skills. However, it is important to monitor whether these Programs are achieving the expected objectives with the available resources. Thus, this research aimed to propose performance indicators to evaluate the contributions of the Scientific Initiation Program to the academic and scientific training of students graduating from the UFAM PIBIC and, in particular, within the scope of the Faculty of Technology of this Institution. To this end, it was necessary to map data from UFAM's PIBIC in the period from 2008 to 2018, characterizing the profile of graduates from the Program of courses at UFAM and the Faculty of Technology and the Faculty of Social Studies, making a comparison between the students' performance graduates of PIBIC/PAIC from the Faculty of Technology and the Faculty of Social Studies with those presented in the PIBIC General Report (CNPq) in the period 2016-2018 and presenting the proposal for management indicators for evaluating Scientific Initiation at UFAM. The methodology adopted was research through an exploratory and descriptive study, based on data collection using an electronic form sent to FES and FT Scientific Initiation graduates. The result was an outline of the development of PIBIC/PAIC, in the period in question, with an indication of the main characteristics of the undergraduate researchers. This facilitated the construction and validation of performance indicators to monitor Scientific Initiation actions. However, future studies could be directed towards a more comprehensive verification of other UFAM Units, also considering the perception of professors-supervisors regarding scientific research for undergraduate students.
