Implementação de componentes de software para visualização de dados na plataforma egressos

Abstract

One of the missions of Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) is to investigate the results produced by their teaching programs and also to verify whether the demands of the job market and society related to educational and professional qualifications are being met by graduate students. At the different levels of education they offer. Among these levels of education is the Postgraduate Stricto Sensu and the Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel (CAPES), responsible for evaluating (quadrennially) the master’s and doctoral programs, highlighted the importance of monitoring the trajectory of graduates as a way of evaluating the quality of these programs. In this sense, HEIs need to access and analyze the various indicators related to postgraduate studies and for this it is necessary to develop computational tools that support these activities. Given this, the purpose of this work was to present the implementation of software components for data visualization, in order to increase the number of information made available to postgraduate stricto sensu managers. The components implemented in this work were built aimed at directors and coordinators of master’s and doctoral courses, enabling the analysis of indicators, total number of graduates per supervisor, freshmen X graduates, consultation of graduates per supervisor, deadline exceeded and forecast of completion. For the development of these components, a cyclical (or evolutionary) model was used, allowing for corrections and adjustments that would emerge during the advanced phases of the project. The use of this development model made it possible to successfully build the software product, as it adequately fit the objectives of this project, contributing to supporting the management of stricto sensu postgraduate programs.
