This study is aimed to analyze the impacts on teachers' work the system 'CAPES' assessment of graduate studies at the Federal University of Pará Thus, the study uses official documents that deal with the evaluation policy for post- studies in Brazil and interviews with teachers in three graduate programs at UFPA. It starts with the premise that the restructuring process and the reform of the Brazilian state have induced changes in higher education with centrality to policy evaluation and the teacher's work. These changes in higher education consolidate a university project designed from the capital of international organizations which require dilution of boundaries between public and private regarding the expansion, financing, evaluation, autonomy and knowledge production. Graduate school is the locus of the implementation of the reform of higher education in Brazil, since the market influences are clearly visible in the evaluation model of post-graduate from CAPES. It is, therefore, a process that occurs in the context of continental formation of a new educational regulation tripod sitting on per capita funding, local management and systemic evaluation. In this context, teaching, understood as the primary responsibility for educational outcomes, undergoes a profound restructuring process with its impact on nature, purpose and directions. Research shows that the system 'CAPES' assessment of post-graduate, as an expression of the new educational regulation in Latin America, gives focus to the work of teachers in the process of evaluating programs and responsible for the results based on criteria formulated
according to external interests and the logic at the time of production of cientific knowledge. The result of the implementation of this logic in the graduate program for teachers is the intensification of work through an outbreak productivist ever seen, the precarious conditions of production and sickening teachers. For the educational institution, we see a transformation in its ethos and identity that have changed the academic culture in order to bring it more in its structure, operation and end-activity of private companies.
