USP ultrapassa UNICAMP em ranking da América Latina

https://www.topuniversities.com/university-rankings/latin-american-university-rankings/2019

LONDRES, 30 de outubro de 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- A mais recente edição do Ranking Latino Americano sugere que as universidades brasileiras estão enfrentando dificuldades em produzir graduados com alta empregabilidade. A edição de 2019 do QS World University Rankings: Latin America, lançada hoje pela empresa inglesa especializada em ensino superior QS Quacquarelli Symonds indica que o Brasil é a sede de duas das três melhores universidades. No entanto, os índices de confiabilidade do empregador têm diminuído.

Pelo segundo ano consecutivo, o ranking é liderado pela Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Chile (PUC Chile). A Universidade de São Paulo (USP) ocupa agora o segundo lugar, trocando de posição com a Universidade Estadual de Campinas (UNICAMP), na terceira colocação.

Fatores mais importantes

  • 90 universidades brasileiras estão presentes nesse ano, fazendo do Brasil a nação mais representada no ranking. Possuindo um maior leque de universidades regionalmente competitivas que o México (63 universidades ranqueadas), a Colômbia (53), o Chile (40), a Argentina (39) e o Perú (20).
  • De modo geral, a performance brasileira mostrou-se estável nesse ano, sem mudanças gerais abruptas. Esses sistema educacional foi capaz de evitar as regressões sentidas pelas universidades argentinas, porém não foi capaz de progredir como as instituições chilenas.
  • O indicador de reputação de empregadores leva em conta mais de 42,000 respostas de empregadores no mundo todo, refletindo a qualidade dos graduados das instituições. Apesar da Universidade de São Paulo ocupar a quarta posição nessa métrica, 76 das 90 universidades brasileiras tiveram uma queda nesse componente com relação ao ano anterior.
  • O Brasil possui os líderes de pesquisa no continente. A Universidade de São Paulo produz mais papers por faculdade que qualquer outra universidade Latino Americana e 9 dos 10 melhores resultados no indicador paper per faculty são de univeridades brasileiras.
  • O Brasil também é reconhecido por oferecer salas de aula com poucos estudantes, avaliado pelo indicador que mede a proporção de membros acadêmicos pela quantidade de estudantes (Faculty / Student ratio). Nesse indicador, 8 dos 10 melhores resultados foram obtidos por instituições brasileiras, com 23 universidades no país atingindo pontuação máxima.
  • A USP também produz mais colaborações ao redor do mundo que qualquer outra universidade Latino Americana, obtendo um score de 100/100 no indicador International Research Network.

A lista completa de universidades brasileiras pode ser encontrada na sessão 'Notes for Editors' ao final desse informe.

Ben Sowter, diretor da QS disse: "Há muitos aspectos positivos na performance brasileira deste ano. O sistema mantém-se competitivo e o país ainda abriga as verdadeiras potências de pesquisa na América. Para continuar a melhoria, as instituições devem assegurar-se do relacionamento com empregadores, identificando maneiras de preparar os graduandos para a economia atual."

A QS utiliza oito indicadores para calcular a pontuação de cada universidade. Esses indicadores medem o posicionamento acadêmico global, a produtividade em pesquisa, o impacto em pesquisa, empregabilidade e esforços de internacionalização.

(1)    Reputação acadêmica (30%)
(2)    Reputação do empregador (20%)
(3)    Relação professor/estudante (10%)
(4)    Relação de papers por membros da faculdade (5%)
(5)    Relação de citações por paper (10%)
(6)    Membros acadêmicos com PhD (10%)
(7)    Network internacional de pesquisa (10%)
(8)    Impacto da web (5%)
