Resumo: | The academic rankings are a controversial subject in higher education. However, despite all the criticism, academic rankings are here to stay and more and more different stakeholders use rankings to obtain information about the institutions' performance. The two most well-known rankings, The Times and the Shanghai Jiao Tong University rankings have different methodologies. The Times ranking is based on peer review, whereas the Shanghai ranking has only quantitative indicators and is mainly based on research outputs. In Germany, the CHE ranking uses a different methodology from the traditional rankings, allowing the users to choose criteria and weights. The Portuguese higher education institutions are performing below their European peers, and the Government believes that an academic ranking could improve both performance and competitiveness between institutions. The purpose of this paper is to analyse the advantages and problems of academic rankings and provide guidance to a new Portuguese ranking. |

Todavia, ademas de todas las criticas los rankings estan para quedarse entre nosotros. Y cada vez mas, diferentes stakeholders utilizan los rankings para obtener información sobre el desempeño de las instituciones. Dos de los rankings mas conocidos, el The Times y el ranking de la universidad de Shangai Jiao Tong tienen metodos distintos. El The Times se basa en la opinion de expertos mientras el ranking de la universidad de Shangai presenta solamente indicadores cuantitativos y mayoritariamente basados en los resultados de actividades de investigación. En Alemania el ranking CHE usa un metodo distinto permitiendo al utilizador elegir los criterios y su importancia. Las instituciones de enseñanza superior portuguesas tienen un desempeño abajo de las europeas y el gobierno cree que un ranking academico podria contribuir para mejorar su desempeño y aumentar su competitividad. El objetivo de este artículo es analizar las ventajas e inconvenientes de los rankings academicos y contribuir para el nuevo ranking Portugues.Os rankings academicos constituem um assunto controverso no ensino superior. No entanto, apesar de todas as criticas, os rankings parecem estar aqui para ficar e cada vez mais diferentes intervenientes os utilizam para obter informações sobre o desempenho das instituicoes de ensino. Os dois rankings mais conhecidos, o do The Times e o da Universidade JIAO Tong de Xangai, apresentam metodologias diferentes. No ranking apresentado pelo The Times a classificação e baseada em analise pelos pares, enquanto o de Xangai tem apenas indicadores quantitativos e baseia-se principalmente em resultados de investigação. Na Alemanha, o ranking CHE usa uma metodologia diferente dos rankings tradicionais, permitindo aos utilizadores escolher os criterios e os pesos. As instituicoes de ensino superior portuguesas apresentam um desempenho inferior aos seus pares europeus. O Governo acredita que um ranking academico poderia melhorar tanto o desempenho como a competitividade entre as instituicoes. O objetivo deste trabalho e analisar as vantagens e os problemas dos rankings academicos e fornecer orientacoes para um novo ranking portugues.Fundação CesgranrioBernardino, PedroMarques, Rui Cunha2010-01-20info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionhttps://revistas.cesgranrio.org.br/index.php/ensaio/article/view/498Ensaio: Avaliação e Políticas Públicas em Educação; v. 18, n. 66 (2010): Revista Ensaio - Jan./Mar.; 29-481809-44650104-4036reponame:Ensaio (Rio de Janeiro.
