Resumo: In this paper two of the better-known university rankings produced internationally are considered, the Academic Ranking World Universities (ARWU) and the Times Higher Education World Universities Rankings (THE), as well as a national ranking, the Folha University Ranking (RUF), focussed on Brazilian universities. The thesis we put forward is that rankings play a dual role, regulating the market and disseminating organizational models. The paper highlights the existence of differences between the concerns (and implications) of the international rankings (ARWU and THE) and the Brazilian national ranking (RUF), which sets out as main goals, on the one hand, to steer the elites’ demand for tertiary education towards degrees with higher employability and, on the other, to provide indications which may be considered useful for the labour market to recruit better qualified professionals.

A hipótese defendida é a de que os rankings desempenham um duplo papel, o de regulação do mercado e o de difusão de modelos organizacionais. O artigo mostra a existência de diferenças entre as preocupações (e implicações) dos rankings internacionais (ARWU e THE) e do ranking nacional brasileiro (RUF), que apresenta, como principal foco, por um lado, orientar a procura de formação superior por parte das elites em direção aos cursos com maior empregabilidade, e, por outro, fornecer indicações que possam ser consideradas úteis para o mercado de trabalho no recrutamento dos profissionais melhor qualificados.En este artículo se presentan dos de los más conocidos rankings de universidades producidas a nivel internacional, el Academic Ranking World Universities (ARWU) y el Times Higher Education World Universities Rankings (THE), y uno de naturaleza nacional, el Ranking Universitario Folha (RUF ), que tiene como foco las universidades brasileñas.

L’hypothèse défendue est que les rankings jouent un double rôle, celui de la régulation du marché et de la diffusion des modèles organisationnels. L’article montre l’existence de différences entre les préoccupations (et les implications) des rankings internationaux (ARWU et THE) et du rankings national brésilien (RUF), dont l’objectif principal est, d’une part, de guider la demande d’enseignement supérieur en des élites vers des cours plus aptes au travail et, d’autre part, fournissent des indications qui peuvent être considérées utiles pour le marché du travail lors du recrutement des professionnels les plus qualifiés.Edições Universitárias Lusófonas2019-01-18T16:56:17Z2018-01-01T00:00:00Z2018info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10437/9344eng1646-401XTeodoro, AntónioSantos, EduardoCosta Junior, Reinaldo dainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2024-02-09T01:31:50Zoai:recil.ensinolusofona.pt:10437/9344Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-20T02:37:02.501943Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse
