ASSOCIATED FACTORS TO ENADE’S PERCEPTION OF DIFFICULTY: AN ANALYSIS OF STUDENTS’ AND HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS’ CHARACTERISTICS
Keywords:
Difficulty perception, ENADE, Higher EducationAbstract
The article analyses the perception of the difficulty of the ENADE test and its
relationship between the characteristics of the students and the higher education institutions (HEIs).
The central hypothesis is that this perception varies according to individual characteristics, such as sex
and race, socioeconomic characteristics, and Higher Education Institutions’ characteristics. Microdata
from ENADE and the Higher Education Census are analyzed in this article, considering only the
general content test for Administration, Law, Economics, and Psychology courses in 2015. The results
show that individual characteristics are relevant for the test difficulty perception, and the percentage of
Professors with PhD degree is significant among the variables considered by the HEIs.
