FORMATIONAL PATHS IN THE BIOLOGICAL SCIENCES: AN ANALYZE OF THE SPECIFIC ISSUES OF ENADE.

Abstract

The National Student Performance Exam (ENADE) aims to evaluate the quality of undergraduate and professional courses from the performance of their students. The graduate in Biological Sciences has multidisciplinary training that allows him to perform professional activities in the areas of Environment, Health and Biotechnology. The objective was to analyze the content of the specific questions of ENADE tests, to identify the most required content and relate them to the areas of professional practice of the Bachelor of Biology. All questions of the Specific Component, contained in the tests applied in 2005, 2008, 2011 and 2014 were analyzed. The areas of knowledge and the areas of professional practice were quantified and categorized. The area of knowledge with the largest number of issues is ecology and professional practice prioritizes Biomolecular Analysis and Diagnosis, Molecular Biology and Environmental Control and Monitoring. Other areas of knowledge and practice were less addressed.
