This study aims to elucidate and analyze the performance dimension, involving dramatization of the behavior and production of scenarios, in the situations of face - to - face meetings between evaluated and evaluators during visits to higher education institutions, which are part of the SINAES evaluation process, arguing that such evaluation is experienced by IES agents located in the state of Amapá where I developed the research, as an extra daily occasion, in which a series of "performatized" behaviors are mobilized in order to cause a positive impression on the evaluators. The hypothesis of this study is the structuring question: the quality indicators designed in the National System of Higher Education Evaluation - SINAES, in Brazil, are centered on models external to our country, the North region, local contexts, in a related process to symbols of a quality present in supposedly more "developed" nations and cultures? I am tempted to think about how this procedure is affected by remnants of a colonized view of education, permeated by a logic that can manifest itself ethnocentrically. The strategies of performative actuations reported throughout the text, captured during the "in loco" research, are expressions of a broader context, of the need for "positive" results. As an analytical key, I adopt the Erving Goffmam theory, which elucidates the mobilized performances in everyday life and the dramaturgical abilities of the social agents mobilized to produce positive impressions of themselves, in approaching the SINAES and processes of evaluation of higher education quality, perceiving them as a field of possible interactions, mediations, assimilations, contradictions, arrangements, refusals, and resistances. I have pursued an ethnographic-inspired approach to Anthropology, at a crossroads of theoretical contributions between Education, Sociology, and Anthropology of representations, bringing as analytical categories within the representation theory: Performance, Facades and Scenarios. I would like to emphasize the path taken by public policies aimed at ensuring the quality of higher education through the creation of evaluation systems, with a reference framework in Latin America, the post-60 period, with the signing of the Letter of Punta del Este; the reforms of higher education in the frontiers of globalization, the internationalization of higher education and its transnationalization, reaching the Brazilian system - SINAES.The construction of the object of study of this thesis focuses on the SINAES, specifically for the procedures inherent to the Institutional Evaluation and Evaluation of Undergraduate Courses, having as a privileged locus what I call "evaluation circuits", that is, an on-site visit by the external evaluators, including moments of planning, execution and evaluation of the actions, delimited by the looks of the social actors inserted in an Institution of higher education. I present at the end, what I call here "findings" of the research, highlighting my perceptions, even with all the notes raised by the interlocutors in order to construct a justification for the performativity of the evaluation circuits, it is necessary to aim to demystify the evaluation with regulatory bias, with the aim of revealing the evaluation and the formative and democratic character.
