Análise da eficiência técnica dos Institutos Federais de Educação, Ciência e Tecnologia

Abstract

This study aims to identify the technical efficiency and productivity change as the Federal Education, Science and Technology (IF), covering the period 2012 to 2013 total sample consists of 19 units. Parallel to this, we performed an analysis of the expansion of the Federal Networking and current spending by students involved in the internalization of professional and technological education process. As a theoretical aspect, discussed the human capital theory (SCHULTZ, 1960, 1961, 1962; BECKER, 1960; MINCER, 1958), with the forms of investment in education in Brazil and its political accountability. To operationalize the research verified the technical efficiency through the methodology of data envelopment analysis (DEA) using indicators developed by the Secretary for Vocational and Technical Education (SETEC) established by the Court of Accounts (TCU) and presented annually in the Report provision of Annual Accounts. The results relative efficiency demonstrates that only 31% of the Federal Institutes analyzed the efficiency score attained in the year 2012 and also in 2013. However, when analyzed productivity through time with the Malmquist Index, you can see that 63% of the Federal Institutes are moving along to the efficiency frontier showing increasing product education within the units. Additionally, with the mean comparison test (z test), evidence that the Federal Institutes considered effective exhibited better average scores of graduates and lower expenses for current students enrolled indicating that the result set can not be conditioned to higher expenditures were found financial.
