Accreditation and quality of higher education: two purposes, one goal.
Keywords:
accreditation, Quality of educationAbstract
The differences found between the evaluation models used and the approaches that
educational communities propose in terms of quality of higher education are many, varied
and acute today, since the State, civil society and the market, as systems exert social control
over public policies that runs in the country, respond to interests that are not properly
training or educational (Van Damme, 2003), because, as House (1976) comments, the systems mentioned are, since their genesis, different and they are framed in power, status and money; thus forming what Clark (1983) calls the triangle of tension, which not only considers the procedures in evaluation, but also the objectives which it arises (Montenegro, 2014b).
