Resumen La autoevaluación de los programas de maestría impartidos total o parcialmente en entornos virtuales permite la mejora de estos y favorece la toma de decisiones basada en evidencias. La eficacia de la autoevaluación depende de los indicadores utilizados por lo que es indispensable determinar el valor de estos. El objetivo del trabajo fue implementar un instrumento de evaluación de los indicadores para la autoevaluación de la calidad de los programas virtuales de maestría. Se realizó la identificación y análisis de artículos científicos, guías de diseño y normas técnicas que abordan la evaluación de indicadores. Se empleó el motor de búsqueda de Google y Google Académico con las palabras clave: indicadores, sistemas de indicadores, evaluación de indicadores. Como resultado del análisis se identificaron seis criterios de calidad de los indicadores utilizados en la autoevaluación de los programas virtuales de maestría. Se elaboró un instrumento para medir estos seis criterios mediante una escala de Likert de cinco niveles. La prueba piloto del instrumento diseñado permitió su validación y mejorar los indicadores utilizados en la autoevaluación de los programas virtuales de maestría en la Cátedra de Calidad, Metrología y Normalización de la Universidad de La Habana.

Abstract Systematic self-assessment of master's programs taught totally or partially in virtual environments allows the improvement of these and favors evidence-based decision making. Self-assessment effectiveness is to a large extent due to indicators that are defined to carry it out. Value determination of these indicators for the self-assessment´s objectives achievement is the first step to the realization of this. Given the above, the objective of this work was to implement an instrument for evaluating the self-assessment´s indicators for quality of virtual programs master's. It was carried out identification and analysis of scientific articles, design guides and technical standards that address the evaluation of indicators. The Google and Google Scholar search engine was used with the keywords: indicators, indicator systems, indicator evaluation. As a result of the analysis, six indicators’ quality criteria used in the master's virtual programs self-assessment were identified. An instrument was developed to measure these six criteria through a five-level Likert scale. Pilot test of designed instrument allowed its validation and improve the indicators used in master's virtual programs self-assessment in the Chair of Quality, Metrology and Standardization of the University of Havana.

Abstract Background Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is a rare genetic disorder with a wide range of clinical manifestations, notably neurocutaneous features, that can lead to emotional and physical consequences. Objectives This study assessed the influence of sociodemographic factors and clinical features of the disease on the quality of life of Brazilian individuals with NF1. Methods This is a descriptive cross-sectional study. Data were collected from 101 individuals with NF1 using the Brazilian version of the Impact of NF1 on Quality of Life Questionnaire (INF1-QoL), a form with information on sociodemographic characteristics, and an NF1 visibility self-evaluation scale. The relationship between variables was evaluated through statistical testing, and the significance level was defined as 0.05. Results The study included 101 adults with NF1 aged 18 to 59 years, with a mean age of 35.54 years (±9.63) and a female predominance (n = 84, 83.17%). The mean total INF1-QoL score was 10.62 (±5.63), with a median of 10, minimum value of 0, and maximum of 31 points. Two characteristics of the participants were significantly associated with the quality of life: educational level (p = 0.003) and familial history of NF1 (p = 0.019). There was a statistically significant correlation between the INF1-QoL score and the degree of disease visibility (rho = 0.218; p = 0.028). Study limitations Cross-sectional study, conducted with a convenience sample and using self-reported measures. Conclusions The findings support the significant impact of NF1 on quality of life. The authors recommend multidisciplinary follow-up for patients, with adherence to anticipatory clinical care measures, adequate pain control, psychological assistance, and genetic counseling.

Abstract This article gathers the results of a research conducted from January to May 2023, within the framework of the self-evaluation process of the Public Accounting degree program taught at the Guápiles Campus of the University of Costa Rica (UCR). The general objective was to determine whether the exit profile of the graduates met the needs of employers and to identify opportunities for improvement. The methodology was qualitative, using semi-structured questionnaires for employers and graduates. Focus groups were also used for other stakeholders. The results show a positive perception of the employers about the professional competencies, skills, and values of the graduates, considering them suitable for hiring. They also highlight competencies such as ethics, responsibility, administration, and management, as well as values and attitudes such as reliability, transparency, and leadership. However, areas for improvement are noted, such as English language proficiency, technological skills, practical experience, and knowledge of tax legislation. Despite these areas for improvement, both employers and graduates value the career favorably, especially in terms of professional competencies and values developed during university education. It is concluded that it is pertinent to continue offering the program due to the very favorable evaluations of employers and graduates, especially in terms of professional competencies, values and attitudes developed during university education.

Abstract Introduction: The doctor-patient relationship allows the development of a therapeutic alliance based on an environment of trust and shared responsibility and positively impacts prognosis. This relationship must be studied in general practice (GP). Objectives: To carry out the cultural adaptation and concurrent validation of the Physician-Patient Depth of Relationship scale (PDDR) in European-spoken Portuguese, allowing the doctor-patient retrospective self-assessment from the physician’s standpoint. Methods: The cultural adaptation process began by translating the PDDR scale into European Portuguese and modifying it to focus on the physician’s perspective. Afterward, the questionnaire was administered to a convenience sample of GP physicians, both in written and oral form, for reliability study purposes. Concurrent validation of the scale was carried out with the Person-Centered Medicine (PCM) scale for physicians through a cross-sectional observational study by administering both scales to GP residents and attending physicians in the Central region. Descriptive and inferential statistics were performed, with a probability difference value of p<0.05 considered statistically significant. Results: The PDDR scale demonstrated good consistency (α=0.840 and α=0.889) and a positive and moderate correlation with the PCM scale for physicians (ρ=0.458, p<0.001). The average score was 21.8±5.51 points, with 36.7% scoring below the 33rd percentile (PDDR≤20), 42.2% scoring above the 67th percentile (PDDR≥24), and 4.4% of physicians scoring the maximum (PDDR=32). Statistically significant differences were found between age groups (p=0.004), career positions (p=0.011), and regularity of patient follow-up (p=0.018), but not for the variables of sex and type of consultation. Discussion and Conclusion: The PDDR scale for the physician has shown to be a reliable and valid instrument with good internal consistency, quick to complete, and suitable for evaluating the depth of the doctor-patient relationship from the physician’s perspective in GP consultations.

Resumo Introdução: A relação médico-doente, baseada em confiança e partilha de responsabilidades, origina maior satisfação e tem impacto positivo no prognóstico. Esta relação deve ser estudada pelo prisma do médico de medicina geral e familiar (MGF). Objetivos: Proceder à adaptação cultural e validação concorrente da escala de avaliação da Profundidade da Relação Médico-Doente (PDDR) com a escala de Medicina Centrada na Pessoa (MCP-PT) na perspetiva do médico. Métodos: Após adaptação cultural, pela tradução para português europeu e modificação das questões da escala PDDR para incidirem sobre a perspetiva do médico, aplicou-se o questionário, por escrito e oralmente, a uma amostra de conveniência de médicos de MGF para estudo da fiabilidade. A validação concorrente com a escala MCP-PT para o médico foi feita por estudo observacional transversal, aplicando ambas a médicos internos e especialistas de MGF da região Centro. Foi realizada estatística descritiva e inferencial, considerando-se para diferença significativa o valor de p<0,05. Resultados: A escala PDDR demonstrou boa consistência interna nos dois tempos de aplicação (α=0,840 e α=0,889) e correlação positiva e moderada com a escala MCP-PT para o médico (ρ=0,458, p<0,001). A pontuação média foi de 21,8±5,5 pontos [0 a 32], com 36,7% abaixo do percentil 33 (PDDR≤20), 42,2% acima do percentil 67 (PDDR≥24) e 4,4% dos médicos a pontuar o máximo (PDDR=32). Encontraram-se diferenças significativas entre grupos etários (p=0,004), posições na carreira (p=0,011) e regularidade do seguimento do doente (p=0,018), mas não para as variáveis sexo e tipo de consulta. Discussão e Conclusão: A escala PDDR para o médico demonstrou ser um instrumento com boa consistência interna, fiável, válido e de preenchimento rápido para avaliação da profundidade da relação médico-doente segundo a perspetiva do médico em consulta de MGF.

When "quality being everyone's business" coincides with the reality of a disruptive work environment, critical self-evaluation becomes an essential tool to ensure accountability. Academics who design curricula and their tuition offering have a certain degree of freedom in what and how they teach. However, academics need to be consciously discerning, yet inclusive, about the voices that should speak into curriculum design. This study operates from the principle of co-creation in curriculum design and acknowledges the multiplicity of relevant voices that speak into curriculum design. These voices are influenced by the past, present, and possibilities of the potential future. To remain relevant in the imagined future, this research identified the co-creators and curriculum design partners for the multidisciplinary field of knowledge management. The curricula of three related academic departments were analysed to determine knowledge management tuition linkages. These curricula were then compared with the Skills Framework for the Information Age (SFIA) level descriptors. Following on from this desktop analysis, Sensemaker®, a distributed digital ethnographic methodology was piloted that will be used to collect micro-narratives from emergent curriculum co-creators. This article identifies gaps in current curricula, expresses expectations for future possibilities and highlights potential niche opportunities for knowledge management curriculum design.

Abstract: This manuscript addresses value assignment in the self-evaluation of postgraduate programs, specifically in the Master’s Degree in Integrative Health and Human Movement (MSIMH) of the National University of Costa Rica, based on the national accreditation guidelines. It emphasizes the importance of carrying out this work in a systematic, organized, and clear manner to objectively analyze the aspects that guarantee the quality of the program. Different actors participated in the self-evaluation process, including managers, administrators, teachers, students, and tutors. The results showed that the dimensions “Resources” and “Educational Process” are fundamental, and that special attention should be given to the components “Infrastructure”, “Research” and “Academic Staff”. Although components such as curriculum and teaching and learning methodology are relevant, it also highlights the importance of academic and financial management for the development and sustainability of the program. It is recommended that future research should contrast the results of the weighting with the results of the MSIMH self-evaluation to identify strengths and areas for improvement in relation to the established weighted values. In short, this study highlights the importance of assigning appropriate values in the self-evaluation of postgraduate programs and encourages the participation of multiple stakeholders in this process. This document can be used as a guide for new processes of value assignment for this type of accreditation.

ABSTRACT Foundation: Innovative universities are distinguished by their impact on the current challenges of modern society, where the progress of the university environment is crucial. Objective: Argue the theoretical-practical foundations of university management for institutional self-evaluation with a formative nature of medical universities. Methods: A case study was carried out in Research in Health Systems and Services, with emphasis on university management processes, modeled from the structural-functional systemic method. Qualitative methods were used to reveal the arguments that support the sustainability of self-assessment in training processes. Results: The theoretical derivations on university management for institutional self-assessment with a formative nature of medical universities allow us to consider this process as a system, susceptible to being perfected by considering two subsystems, one prescriptive of the university community organizational context, and another contentive of the appropriation of the self-assessment process for self-regulation and accreditation purposes, which contribute to training sustainability. From the synergistic and recursive relationships in this system, the quality of responsibility for the transformation of the training process derives. Conclusions: University management as a process contributes to training sustainability in institutional self-assessment. It is a strategic tool to achieve process quality through continuous improvements. It is characterized by shared, contextualized commitment, the involvement of the actors in the process, collective and participatory responsibility, all conditions that favor educational influences.

RESUMEN Fundamento: Las universidades innovadoras se distinguen por la impronta ante los retos actuales de la sociedad moderna, donde el progreso del ámbito universitario desempeña un papel decisivo. Objetivo: Argumentar los sustentos teórico-prácticos de la gestión universitaria para la autoevaluación institucional con carácter formativo de las universidades médicas. Métodos: Se realizó un estudio de caso en Investigaciones en Sistemas y Servicios de Salud, con énfasis en los procesos de gestión universitaria, modelado a partir del método sistémico estructural- funcional. Fueron utilizados métodos cualitativos para develar los argumentos que sustentan la sostenibilidad de la autoevaluación en los procesos formativos. Resultados: Las derivaciones teóricas sobre la gestión universitaria para la autoevaluación institucional con carácter formativo de las universidades médicas permiten considerar este proceso como un sistema, susceptible de ser perfeccionado al considerar dos subsistemas, uno prescriptivo del contexto organizacional de la comunidad universitaria, y otro contentivo de la apropiación del proceso de autoevaluación con fines de autorregulación y acreditación, los que tributan a la sostenibilidad formativa. De las relaciones sinérgicas y recursivas en este sistema, deriva la cualidad responsabilidad para la transformación del proceso formativo. Conclusiones: La gestión universitaria como proceso tributa a sostenibilidad formativa en la autoevaluación institucional. Es una herramienta estratégica para lograr la calidad de los procesos mediante las mejoras continuas. Se caracteriza por el compromiso compartido, contextualizado, la implicación de los actores del proceso, la responsabilidad colectiva y participativa, condiciones todas que favorecen las influencias educativas.

RESUMEN Objetivos: La autopercepción en salud es definida como la apreciación del propio estado de salud. Este es un fenómeno multidimensional en el que actúan variables como la salud psicológica, el capital social y algunos factores sociodemográficos. Su estimación ha tomado relevancia en salud pública, ya que predice indicadores como morbilidad, mortalidad y uso de servicios sanitarios. El objetivo fue realizar una medición de la salud psicológica, el capital social y diversos factores sociodemográficos y establecer su probable asociación con la autopercepción en salud. Métodos: Se realizó un estudio transversal entre septiembre y octubre de 2021. Se aplicó un instrumento con 52 preguntas sobre autopercepción en salud, capital social, salud psicológica y algunos factores sociodemográficos, y se realizó un análisis bivariado y multivariado en el programa CIETmap para identificar las variables que tuvieron mayor influencia en la autopercepción en salud. Resultados: En la muestra, el 80 % de las personas consideró su estado de salud como bueno o muy bueno, mientras que 17 % afirmó que su estado de salud es regular; el 17 % del total de la muestra tiene un alto riesgo de sufrir trastornos emocionales, y 58 % de los encuestados cuenta con buenas redes de apoyo. Por último, se estimó que la medida de asociación que mayor riesgo presentó en la autopercepción en salud fue vivir sin pareja (OR=5.90). Conclusiones: En la población estudiada, los factores asociados al capital social y al bienestar psicológico están relacionados con la autopercepción en salud, y vivir sin pareja fue un factor relevante.

ABSTRACT Background: Self-perceived health is defined as the appreciation of own state of health. It is a multidimensional phenomenon in which variables such as psychological health, social capital and some sociodemographic factors act. Its estimation has become relevant in public health since it predicts indicators such as morbidity, mortality, and use of health services. The objective was to measure psychological health, social capital, and various sociodemographic factors in a group of adults and establish their probable association with self-perceived health. Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out, between September and October 2021. An instrument with 52 questions on self-perceived health, social capital, psychological health, and some sociodemographic factors was applied. Data were analyzed using bivariate and multivariate methods in CIETmap software to determine the variables that had the greatest influence on self-perceived health. Results: In the sample, 80 % of the people considered their health status as good or very good, while 17 % stated that their health status is regular; 17 % of the sample are at high risk for emotional disorders and 57 % of those surveyed had good support networks. Finally, it was estimated that the measure of association that presented the greatest risk in self-perceived health was living without a partner (OR=5.90). Conclusions: In the population studied, the factors associated with social capital and psychological well-being are associated with self-perceived health and living without a partner was a relevant factor.

Abstract Objective: To identify the scientific evidence related to the influence of self-esteem on adolescent cannabis use. Materials and method: During the period of february-april 2022, an integrative review of the scientific literature published in the last ten years (2012-2022) was carried out. The sixstep methodology proposed by Toronto and Remington was used in the BVS, PubMed, TRIP and Dialnet search engines, as well as in the Redalyc, Cochrane, EBSCOhost, Web of Science and CUIDEN databases. A total of 1,491 articles were found, when applying inclusion and elimination criteria, a total of ten quantitative studies were considered in the final sample. Results: It was found that adolescents with low self-esteem are prone to influences that encourage the initiation of cannabis use. When considered as a positive attitude of the person towards himself, it favors the feeling of security and regulates behavior through a process of self-evaluation, so that it enables adolescents to adapt to their environment. In this sense, three main categories were observed: moderator variable in cannabis use; predictor variable of cannabis use; and intervention component. Conclusions: The protective and predictive role of self-esteem for cannabis use in adolescents was demonstrated, likewise, early detection and interventions aimed at improving skills for the regulation of emotions influenced by cognitive factors are effective in the promotion and prevention of cannabis use in adolescents.

Resumen Objetivo: Identificar la evidencia científica relacionada con la influencia que tiene la autoestima en el consumo de cannabis de los adolescentes. Materiales y método: Durante el periodo de febrero-abril de 2022 se realizó una revisión integrativa de la literatura científica publicada en los últimos diez años (2012-2022). Se utilizó la metodología de seis pasos propuesta por Toronto y Remington en los motores de búsqueda de la BVS, PubMed, TRIP y Dialnet, así como, en las bases de datos de Redalyc, Cochrane, EBSCOhost, Web of Science y CUIDEN. Se encontraron un total de 1,491 artículos, al aplicar criterios de inclusión y eliminación se contemplaron un total de diez estudios cuantitativos en la muestra final. Resultados: Se encontró que los adolescentes con baja autoestima están propensos a influencias que fomentan el inicio de consumo de cannabis. Al considerarse como una actitud positiva de la persona hacia sí misma, favorece el sentimiento de seguridad y regula la conducta mediante un proceso de autoevaluación, de modo que posibilita la adecuación de los adolescentes a su entorno. En este sentido se observaron tres categorías principales: variable moderadora en el consumo de cannabis; variable predictora del consumo de cannabis; y componente de intervención. Conclusiones: Se demostró el papel protector y predictivo de la autoestima para el consumo de cannabis en los adolescentes, asimismo, la detección temprana y las intervenciones dirigidas a mejorar las habilidades para la regulación de emociones influenciadas por factores cognitivos son efectivas en la promoción y prevención de consumo de cannabis en el adolescente.

Post-graduate online students studying in cohorts are expected to collaborate effectively with their peers and instructors in the virtual environment and are presumed to have the necessary skills needed for self-directed online learning. However, studies have shown that the low retention and success rates in online learning could be attributed to individual students experiencing a sense of isolation in a community of online students. Providing various non-academic support is as crucial for ensuring success as academic support services. More importantly, the support should acknowledge and address the unique set of skills, experiences, and expectations of the individual student in the community of online learners. This study aimed to ascertain whether professional and administrative student support that focused on the individual needs of the post-graduate student promotes retention and success in online studies. A qualitative case study at a business school at a South African higher education institution evaluated the professional and administrative support types, range and timing in promoting success in online post-graduate studies. This included the content analysis of key documents such as the self-evaluation report and the survey report on evaluation, impact and lifelong learning of a post-graduate qualification, followed by a focus-group session to ascertain staff perceptions of the professional and administrative services and resources in promoting success in online post-graduate studies. Using Simpson's Proactive Motivational Support model (PaMS) as a lens, the study revealed a lack of motivational aspects of student support for online post-graduate students. Furthermore, the results affirmed the presumption of post-graduate students as a homogenous group prepared to succeed in online learning communities. Moreover, that limited provision was made to support online postgraduate students from remote areas and for those with disabilities. The study concludes that a more personalised approach to student support will motivate post-graduate students to become successful self-directed students in a community of online learners. Moreover, a focused school, college and institutional approach and an integrated inter- and intra-institutional collaboration are needed to enhance self-directed learning, foster a sense of belonging, and promote success in online post-graduate studies.

Abstract: This study aims to analyze the profile of graduates and identify factors associated with positive performance regarding training and professional insertion among those who have completed face-to-face master’s and doctoral courses at the Oswaldo Cruz Foundation (Brazil). A total of 2,462 graduates participated in the study (1,402 master’s and 1,060 doctoral graduates), who answered a digital questionnaire containing questions about individual characteristics and professional insertion before entering the course and after completion. A measure on “positive post-course performance” was created. The results show that Master’s graduates with a positive impact from the course tend to be men; to have a specialization degree before entering the course; to have paid employment after finishing the course in the areas of research, education, assistance, and management; and to be civil servants. In the Doctorate, the following profile is evident: graduates with paid employment after finishing the course in the areas of research or education; hired under a single legal regime or temporary contract as a legal entity; and with a scientific publication or patent. Evaluating/monitoring graduates must be established as an important public educational policy, incorporated into the institutional self-evaluation process, which makes it possible to review directions and priorities in the institution’s educational and pedagogical agenda.

Se evidencia el siguiente perfil en el doctorado: egresados con trabajo remunerado tras el término del curso en las áreas de investigación o educación; contratados bajo un régimen jurídico único o un contrato temporal de persona jurídica; y con publicación científica o patente. La evaluación/seguimiento de egresados se debe establecer como una importante política pública educativa, incorporada en el proceso de autoevaluación institucional, lo que permite revisar direcciones y prioridades en la agenda educativa y pedagógica de la institución.

Abstract: This study aims to analyze the profile of graduates and identify factors associated with positive performance regarding training and professional insertion among those who have completed face-to-face master’s and doctoral courses at the Oswaldo Cruz Foundation (Brazil). A total of 2,462 graduates participated in the study (1,402 master’s and 1,060 doctoral graduates), who answered a digital questionnaire containing questions about individual characteristics and professional insertion before entering the course and after completion. A measure on “positive post-course performance” was created. The results show that Master’s graduates with a positive impact from the course tend to be men; to have a specialization degree before entering the course; to have paid employment after finishing the course in the areas of research, education, assistance, and management; and to be civil servants. In the Doctorate, the following profile is evident: graduates with paid employment after finishing the course in the areas of research or education; hired under a single legal regime or temporary contract as a legal entity; and with a scientific publication or patent. Evaluating/monitoring graduates must be established as an important public educational policy, incorporated into the institutional self-evaluation process, which makes it possible to review directions and priorities in the institution’s educational and pedagogical agenda.

Resumo: O objetivo do estudo é analisar o perfil de egressos e identificar fatores associados ao desempenho positivo relativo à trajetória de formação e de inserção profissional entre aqueles que concluíram cursos presenciais de mestrado e doutorado acadêmico da Fundação Oswaldo Cruz (Brasil). Participaram do estudo 2.462 egressos (1.402 de mestrado e 1.060 de doutorado) que responderam um questionário digital, contendo questões sobre perfil do egresso e inserção profissional antes do ingresso no curso e após a conclusão. Foi criada uma medida sobre “desempenho positivo pós-curso”. Os resultados revelam que egressos de mestrado com impacto positivo do curso tendem a ser homens; ter especialização antes de ingressar no curso; ter emprego remunerado após o término do curso nas áreas de pesquisa, educação, assistência e gestão; e ser servidor público. No doutorado o seguinte perfil é evidenciado: egressos com emprego remunerado após o término do curso nas áreas de pesquisa ou educação; contratados por Regime Jurídico Único ou contrato temporário de pessoa jurídica; e com publicação científica ou patente. A avaliação/acompanhamento de egressos deve se instaurar como uma importante política pública educacional, incorporada no processo de autoavaliação institucional, o que possibilita rever rumos e prioridades na agenda educacional e pedagógica da instituição.

Abstract This article aims to analyze the institutional self-evaluation process developed in a municipal school in the Metropolitan Region of Chile. It highlights the implementation of innovative, participatory, and intensive methodological tools in an experience carried out between 2018 and 2019, focusing on the promotion of Educational Inclusion guided by the principles outlined in the Guide for Educational Inclusion. The methodology employs a Qualitative Design based on a Case Study that systematizes the initial phase of an Action-Research process developed in consensus between researchers, the school, and its coordinating team. This approach enabled a simultaneous process of accompaniment and inquiry, using field notes and interviews. In this way, the analysis highlights three phases: 1) the formation of the Inclusion Team, 2) the process of self-evaluation and methodologies implemented, and 3) the process of evaluation of barriers and design of the Plan. The results provide a detailed overview of the initiative, highlighting reflective aspects and transformative strategies, thereby contributing to the understanding of effective educational practices and promoting participatory approaches in institutional self-evaluation processes. It is concluded that the journey towards Educational Inclusion constitutes a self-reflective odyssey of collaborative action, allowing for a fresh perspective of the traditional processes of Institutional Self-Assessment and Evaluation. This perspective is enriched by Action Research and multi-method Methodologies, in order to cultivate cultural, political and practical conditions for learning and participation of the entire educational community.

Resumo Este artigo tem como objetivo analisar o processo de autoavaliação institucional desenvolvido em uma escola municipal da Região Metropolitana do Chile, destacando a implementação de ferramentas metodológicas inovadoras, participativas e intensivas em uma experiência realizada entre 2018 e 2019, com foco na promoção da Inclusão Educacional a partir das diretrizes do Guia de Inclusão Educacional. A metodologia estabelece um Design Qualitativo baseado em um Estudo de Caso que sistematiza a primeira fase de um processo de Pesquisa-Ação acordado entre os pesquisadores, a escola e sua equipe de coordenação. Essa abordagem permitiu um processo simultâneo de acompanhamento e investigação, usando notas de campo e entrevistas. Dessa forma, três fases são destacadas: 1) Formação da equipe de inclusão, 2) Processo de autoavaliação e metodologias implementadas, e 3) Processo de avaliação de barreiras e elaboração do plano. Os resultados fornecem uma visão detalhada da iniciativa, destacando aspectos reflexivos e estratégias transformadoras, contribuindo para a compreensão de práticas educacionais eficazes e promovendo abordagens participativas nos processos de autoavaliação institucional. Conclui-se que a jornada rumo à Inclusão Educacional constitui uma odisseia autorreflexiva e de ação colaborativa que permite adotar uma perspectiva sobre os processos tradicionais de Autoavaliação e Avaliação Institucional, enriquecida pela Pesquisa-Ação e por metodologias multimétodos, a fim de construir condições culturais, políticas e práticas para o aprendizado e a participação de toda a comunidade educacional.

ABSTRACT Purpose To investigate the association between measures of voice handicap, symptoms of common mental health disorders and the restriction of singing activities that occurred during the Covid-19 pandemic in amateur choristers. Methods This is a cross-sectional, analytical, descriptive and quantitative study. To collect data were used an initial characterization questionnaire, the Modern Singing Handicap Index (MSHI) protocol and the SRQ-20, an adaptation of the Self Reporting Questionnaire, all of which were made available online. The research sample consisted of 46 participants belonging to amateur choirs from two higher education institutions. Results The mean total score for the MSHI and SRQ-20 were high and were positively correlated with each other. There was no difference between the MSHI and SRQ-20 scores between individuals who self-reported Covid-19 infection or not. Individuals who stated that the answers offered in the survey were influenced by the social restrictions caused by the pandemic had higher scores than those who did not make this statement. There was no correlation with singing time and voice handicap and the presence of symptoms of mental health disorders, measured by the MSHI and SRQ-20, respectively. Choristers who maintained their singing activities individually or collectively showed less vocal and emotional damage. Conclusion Amateur choristers reported voice disadvantage and common mental health disorders possibly related to social restrictions caused by the Covid-19 pandemic. The observed rates, however, do not seem to be associated with the virus infection itself, but with the limitations imposed by social restrictions during the pandemic period.

RESUMO Objetivo Investigar a associação entre medidas de desvantagem vocal, sintomas de transtornos mentais comuns e a restrição das atividades de canto ocorrida durante a pandemia de Covid-19 em coralistas amadores. Métodos Estudo descritivo, analítico, transversal, de natureza quantitativa. Para coleta de dados, foram utilizados um questionário de caracterização inicial, o protocolo de Índice de Desvantagem para o Canto Moderno (IDCM) e o SRQ-20, adaptação do Self Reporting Questionnaire, todos eles disponibilizados de forma on-line. A amostra da pesquisa foi constituída por 46 participantes pertencentes aos corais amadores de duas instituições de ensino superior. Resultados As médias do escore total do IDCM e SRQ-20 foram elevadas e estiveram correlacionadas positivamente entre si. Não houve diferença entre as pontuações do IDCM e SRQ-20 para os indivíduos que referiram a infecção por Covid-19, ou não. Indivíduos que afirmaram em suas respostas que sofreram influência da restrição social causada pela pandemia apresentaram escores mais altos do que aqueles que não fizeram essa afirmação. Não houve correlação com o tempo de canto e a desvantagem vocal e a presença de sintomas de transtornos mentais, mensuradas pelo IDCM e SRQ-20, respectivamente. Coralistas que mantiveram suas atividades de canto individual ou coletivamente apresentaram menores prejuízos vocais e emocionais. Conclusão coralistas amadores relataram desvantagem vocal e transtornos mentais comuns possivelmente relacionados às restrições sociais provocadas pela pandemia de Covid-19. Os índices observados, todavia, parecem não estar associados à infecção pelo vírus em si, mas às limitações impostas pela restrição social do período pandêmico.

RESUMEN Este artículo analiza la inserción profesional de los graduados del Programa de Posgrado en Educación (PPGE) de la Universidade Federal do Amazonas (UFAM), en el período 2012-2020, dentro de un proceso de autoevaluación. A partir de la revisión bibliográfica y el mapeo de destinos profesionales (trabajo con currículo Lattes y encuesta), el texto recorre los procesos de desarrollo de estudios de posgrado en la región, su relación con la evaluación promovida por la Coordinación de Mejoramiento de Personal de Educación Superior, así como la inserción laboral de los egresados de PPGE/UFAM. Destacan los impactos de los estudios de posgrado para la formación docente y la investigación-dolor para la educación básica y superior; además, los desafíos que enfrenta para formar e insertar a maestros y doctores en esta latitud, entre los que se encuentra el mantenimiento del vínculo con los egresados y la publicación de los resultados de sus investigaciones. La autoevaluación, particularmente con foco en el seguimiento de los posgraduados, permite, por tanto, reflexionar sobre los efectos de los procesos formativos desarrollados por el programa a partir precisamente de los resultados alcanzados por sus egresados.

ABSTRACT This article takes to the analysis the professional insertion of former graduates of the Graduate Program in Education (PPGE) of the Universidade Federal do Amazonas (UFAM), in the period 2012-2020, in the context of a self-evaluation process. Through the literature review and the mapping of professional destinations (work with curriculum Lattes and survey), the text retraces the processes of graduate development in the region, its relationship with the pro-evaluation of the Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel, as well as the labor insertion of the former graduates of the PPGE/UFAM. The impacts of graduate studies for teacher training and research on basic and higher education stand out. Furthermore, there are challenges faced to train and insert masters and doctors in this latitude, among which the maintenance of the link with the former graduates and the publications of the results of their investigations. Self-evaluation, particularly with focusing on the follow-up of former graduates, therefore, allows us to reflect on the effects of the training processes developed by the program based on the results achieved by its former graduates.

RESUMO Este artigo toma à análise a inserção profissional de egressos do Programa de Pós-Graduação em Educação (PPGE) da Universidade Federal do Amazonas (Ufam), no período 2012–2020, no bojo de um processo de autoavaliação. Por meio da revisão de literatura e do mapeamento dos destinos profissionais (trabalho com Currículo Lattes e survey), o texto retraça os processos de desenvolvimento da pós-graduação na Região Norte, sua relação com a avaliação promovida pela Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior, bem como a inserção laboral dos egressos do PPGE/Ufam. Destacam-se os impactos da pós-graduação para a formação de professores e pesquisadores para a educação básica e superior e ainda os desafios enfrentados para formar e inserir mestres e doutores nessa latitude, entre os quais a manutenção do elo com os egressos e as publicações dos resultados de suas investigações. A autoavaliação, particularmente com foco no acompanhamento de egressos, portanto, permite refletir sobre os efeitos dos processos formativos desenvolvidos pelo programa com base nos resultados alcançados pelos seus ex-alunos.
