[Teaching staff, student, and performance evaluation in nursing administration at nursing schools in Brazil]

The objective of this study was to analyze the theoretical references related to the performance evaluation process, establishing their correlation to different pedagogical lines. These references constitute the foundation for the analysis of data being collected and studied. This study is part of a broader project, currently in progress, whose objective is to determine how to evaluate teachers, students and achievement in courses dealing with content related to Nursing Administration at the graduate and undergraduate levels in Brazil. We hope to be contributing to a clearer and better understanding of this concrete reality, and of the performance evaluation process in light of the changes in the teaching of such courses.
