Abstract

We present a method for assess results of research in Education, through the "Criterion of Experts", designed after the systemic restructuring of the Delphi Method. The methodology used results of doctoral studies as important indicators for the area of Education, held in the Graduate Program "Amazon Education Network of Science and Mathematics" - REAMEC. In the evaluation of these results are considered the following elements: problem, general purpose, methodology, and results obtained in this research. The sample composition of 16 experts who was obtained from the curriculum repository of the National Council for Scientific and Technological Development - CNPq. After starting the data collection process, it was necessary other interactions among participants, which led to the individual and collective reflection of so-called "experts" in the evaluation of the indicators. Starting from the instruments initially provided by the authors in order to evaluate knowledge and skills of participants in the issue at hand, it was possible to select the experimental sample, which allowed through individual assessments of each indicator and reflections state that the "method of experts" may be used in research with a qualitative or quantitative approach or even both in the same study.
