This project aims to analyze the dimensions of regulation and training in the process of constructing the evaluation of institutional projects of the Institutional Program for Teaching Initiation Scholarships (Pibid), conducted by the Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel (Capes) starting in 2024. It is based on the understanding that the evaluation of public policies is not a neutral technical procedure, but rather an institutional practice permeated by values, disputes, and governance effects. In this context, we investigate how historically consolidated evaluation repertoires in the National Postgraduate System (SNPG) are mobilized, stressed, and reinterpreted in the field of initial training for basic education teachers. The research is based on the hypothesis that the construction of this evaluation expresses a process of reconfiguration of the evaluative culture of Capes, in which regulatory requirements are articulated with the training demands specific to the initiation of teaching. To interpret this movement, the study mobilizes the notion of a spiral of public policies, understanding evaluation as a constitutive practice of policy and a mechanism of institutional learning, and proposes the analytical category of formative regulation, understood as a mode of evaluative governance that combines technical rigor, regulatory induction, and explicit formative purposes. From a methodological standpoint, a qualitative approach is adopted, structured around document analysis, examination of materials produced in regional workshops held by Capes in 2024, and semistructured interviews with actors directly involved in the evaluation process. The corpus will be analyzed using content analysis, with the support of IRaMuTeQ software, aiming to identify discursive patterns, tensions, and meanings attributed to the evaluation within the policy. The study seeks to contribute to the debate on the evaluation of educational policies and to the reflection on evaluation models capable of articulating regulation and training in the field of teacher training.
