Evaluation of the qualification and scientific production of teachers for training in the area of Accounting (Accounting) in business schools of World Class Universities (UCM)

Abstract

The professoriate faculty is dedicated to extension, teaching, and research; the latter is responsible for the expansion of scientific knowledge, which added to the scenario of the constant development of accounting sciences as applied social sciences reinforce the level of attention that should be given to this activity. In the so-called World-Class Universities (UMC), considered to be of excellence, the impact of academic production, fundraising (financing) and the transfer of knowledge to the industry are differentials. Many organizations and companies believe that a university's quality is measured by its position on the ranking tables like THE (Times Higher Education). The academic production of UMC researchers abroad (2 American and one from the United Kingdom) was evaluated by scientometric tools, such as Google Scholar, and production registered at the institution. In the case of the Brazilian UMC, the criterion was an analysis of the Lattes Curriculum and crossing with Qualis (Brazilian journal evaluation system). In addition to production, the degree and teaching time were analyzed. The data show that there is an influence of the teacher's degree in their production indexes (quantity and quality) and that teachers with more seniority have a more significant impact. Similar situations were found in Purdue, Manchester, and at the Federal University of São Paulo UNIFESP. The results of titration and production are different in Stanford, justifying its better classification in the ranking.
