Description
Summary:In this paper, we attempt to discuss about the teacher of higher education in the role of anager. In these situations he faces challenges, some arising from gaps in developing his managerial skills; this facts earn some reflections. The higher education policy of the governments of Fernando Henrique Cardoso (1995-2002) and Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (2003-2010) brought the expansion, internalization, diversification and privatization of higher education in Brazil, and as a result the professor of higher education the federal universities is now not only a teacher and researcher, but it has to be sometimes manager (academic manager). As a possible way for future investigations, the analytical framework Mendonça et al (2012) of managerial competencies for teacher higher education is presented. It is considered that higher education prepare teachers to serve as leaders of the federal universities involves training them considering the managerial competencies expected of them as an academic manager. This movement is not only important for achieving levels of excellence in teaching, research and extension in the higher education system in Brazil, but also for the federal universities to fulfill their mission in society.
