Building the Brazilian Encyclopedia of Higher
Education (Enciclopédia Brasileira de
Educação Superior-EBES) resulted from
knowledge accumulation emerging from the
professor-researcher experience. Under
Professor Marília Morosini’s coordination,
several experts in higher education distilled
the essence of the theoretical basis of this
dynamic field.
It is a precious resource to be explored.
It is up to each of us to value this resource
through its consultation and reading. This
Encyclopedia may be read in two ways: the classic entry through the thematic index
(in alphabetical order and breakdown of themes) or through a chapter-by-chapter
reading in a coherent and structured sequence.
This work, written in Portuguese, allows open access to current content about the
field of higher education. Various target audiences will benefit from its use, including
teachers, students, researchers, technicians, managers, organizational and political
leaders. Its topics cover classroom practices, network research, effective management
and shared leadership as well as evidence-based decision-making processes, both at
institutional and government levels. Its rich content is a means of learning itself.
