Taking into consideration large-scale evaluations in the Brazilian higher education system, this paper aims at (a) analyzing the subject-positions, namely, the State and graduation course coordinators; and (b) understanding the impact of evaluation policies in higher education curricula. This is a qualitative study, whose corpus comprises the discourse of five course coordinators in the health area, analyzed through the inductive method. The theoretical background is based on research on evaluation in higher education regarding the conditions of production of evaluations in the global and national scenarios and also on the French Discourse Analysis theory. Results revealed that there are political and economic interventions in large-scale national evaluations applied nowadays and that these interventions directly reflect on the curricula dynamics, as well as on the identity and self-image of Higher Education Institutions.
Keywords: Subject-positions. Large-scale evaluations. Curriculum.
