However, this process also imposes legal and administrative challenges related to institutional protection, civil liability, and risk mitigation in international academic mobility. This dissertation aims to assess how the legal instruments signed by the International Cooperation Agency of the Federal University of Paraíba, between 2020 and 2024, include provisions related to institutional protection and legal responsibility in the internationalization of higher education. This is a qualitative, applied, documentary research designed as a case study, developed through content analysis of the international cooperation agreements signed by UFPB. The documentary corpus was examined according to five analytical categories: costs and funding, international insurance, civil liability, institutional support in emergencies, and risk mitigation mechanisms. The results reveal low normative density in a significant part of the analyzed instruments, especially regarding the absence or insufficiency of clauses concerning international insurance, civil liability, emergency protocols, institutional support channels, and the distribution of obligations between partner institutions. These gaps create zones of legal and institutional vulnerability, increasing the university’s exposure to risks arising from international academic mobility. As an applied contribution, the research proposes a Situational Report and Legal Governance Protocol for the Internationalization of UFPB, accompanied by a risk matrix and a model of standardized legal clauses. It concludes that responsible university internationalization requires not only the expansion of academic partnerships, but also robust normative instruments capable of articulating international cooperation, duty of care, legal certainty, and protection of the individuals involved.

This evaluation seeks to identify usability issues, cognitive barriers, and opportunities to improve the platform’s design. The study is based on the researcher’s professional experience as an employee of the institution, who observes daily the challenges users face when interacting with the system. This motivated a systematic analysis using heuristic evaluation techniques and the usability principles proposed by Jakob Nielsen (1994). To understand the user experience, the study adopts a qualitative, descriptive methodology, analyzing aspects such as information clarity, visual consistency, navigability, and system feedback. The methodological process includes defining the interface entry points, implementing a heuristic inspection protocol, and classifying the results according to Nielsen’s ten principles. The findings indicate that, although SIGAA is an effective and consolidated tool for academic management, it presents ergonomic limitations that negatively affect user experience. These limitations are mainly related to system state visibility, interface element consistency, and error prevention. Based on these results, a Technical Report on the Ergonomic Evaluation of Institutional Digital Interfaces and a Procedures Manual for the main activities carried out by the coordination office through the portal were developed. The goal is to standardize future analyses, encourage accessibility, and foster a user-centered design culture at UFPB, while establishing flowcharts for the main activities. Thus, this study aims to contribute to improving usability, efficiency, and user satisfaction in academic systems, integrating theory and practice within the scope of the Professional Master’s program. The resulting technical products are intended to serve as a methodological guide for future ergonomic evaluations in educational digital environments and to formalize the main activities carried out through the portal, demonstrating step-by-step processes inside and outside the system, relating standards and necessary actions for task execution.

The specific objectives are: to examine the 2020-2024 Institutional Development Plan (PDI) based on IFPB's Internationalization Policy; to map the results achieved in IFPB's Integrated Reports during the period (2020-2024); to check the challenges in implementing the Internationalization Policy based on Resolution No. 40/2019; and finally, to prepare a situational report on the analysis of the Strategic Planning and the implementation of institutional actions (2020-2024) for the Internationalization of Higher Education at IFPB. The Internationalization is understood as a process that cuts across the functions of teaching, research, and outreach, according to Knight's (2004) definition, who sees it as the intentional integration of international, intercultural, and global dimensions into the mission of higher education institutions. Authors like Morosini (2021) and Bardin (2016) are used to discuss the phenomenon of internationalization, its institutional meanings, and evaluation strategies. The relevance of this research is justified by the need to critically understand the progress and limits of internationalization strategies within the Federal Network, focusing on equity, international cooperation, and the improvement of Institutional Governance. The methodology consists of a qualitative research, of an applied nature and explanatory approach, based on content analysis (Bardin, 2016) with the use of direct observation for better understanding and documentary analysis (Severino, 2008; Gil, 2008), focusing on the Institutional Development Plan (PDI), Management Reports, and the Internationalization Policy (Resolução n.º 40/2019). The scope of the study falls on the work of ARINTER and all these specified documents, with content analysis and the support of direct observation. As a final product, an internationalization plan was developed for the Federal Institute of Paraíba, aligned with institutional guidelines and sustainable practices in international cooperation. In addition, as a result of the research, a situational report was created analyzing the findings between Strategic Planning and the execution of internationalization at IFPB during the 2020-2024 period, identifying strengths, limitations, and possible institutional improvements.

Therefore, this study aimed to analyze the Quadrennial Evaluation Reports of 2017 and 2021 (CAPES), as well as the Self-Evaluation Report of 2020 (PPGAVE), in order to identify strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats that influence the Strategic Planning of the Program. Methodologically, this is a bibliographic, descriptive, and exploratory research, with a qualitative approach, and data collection carried out through documentary research. For the diagnosis of the PPGAVE (Postgraduate Program in Education, Science and Technology), the SWOT Analysis tool was used, enabling the identification of internal and external factors that influence strategic planning. The results showed that the strengths and weaknesses identified in the reports influence the PPGAVE's strategic planning process, especially regarding the monitoring of actions, the prioritization of goals, the definition of strategies to leverage strengths and address threats, as well as the use of this information to support decision-making. The analysis also revealed that the identified strengths and opportunities can be leveraged through planned strategies, while the weaknesses and threats require specific and continuous coping actions. It was concluded that the articulation between the processes of strategic planning, evaluation, and self-evaluation constitutes a central element for the development and formative quality of the PPGAVE (Graduate Program in Education), insofar as it favors the consolidation of more reflective and participatory formative processes, as well as the alignment of the program's actions with the demands and guidelines of professional postgraduate studies in Brazil. As a technical product, a proposal for participatory strategic planning was presented, aiming to contribute to the evaluation and self-evaluation processes of the PPGAVE.
