CCONCLUDINGONCLUDING R REMARKSEMARKS

The surveyed assumptions were verified by comparing values obtained from the assumptions made by the amount of 50%, considering the hypothesis is validated for more than or equal to this value and invalid for more than 50%.

Hypothesis 1. was not validated (Teachers are informed of the strategic plans and operational objectives) registering 40.50% who say that know the objectives of the university strategic plan, 49.40% who say that know the objectives of the strategic plan of the faculty, 38 , 7% who say that know the operational plan objectives of the university, which states that 45.2% meet the objectives of the faculty operational plan (for response options 3-5);


CCONCLUDINGONCLUDING R REMARKSEMARKS

Hypothesis 2. was validated (known actors university teachers involved in the preparation and implementation of these plans) claiming a rate of 83.3% that management make academic contributions to the Strategic Plan (University Senate), a proportion of 63.4% of teachers (outside the University Senate);

Hypothesis 3. was validated (Teachers were consulted in the preparatory phase of these plans) 12.5% said they had been consulted in the preparatory phase of strategic plans and 15.2% said they had been consulted at the stage of developing operational plans. Although the percentage recorded in this case has a low value (below 50%) is considered significant because it is consulted in the preparation of these plans can be made by type 1-1 but only through representatives.
