The Federal Institutes (FI) are specialized in technical and technological vocational education at different levels and modalities. The instrument for planning and evaluation in higher education institutions in Brazil is the Institutional Development Plan (IDP) and the objective of this paper is to evaluate the limitations of the IDP for FI. To do so, the application of a questionnaire to the managers of the FI was carried out and information that addressed the limitations of the IDP was obtained. The main limitations were related to the political and institutional aspects of the FI, demonstrated by the concern of their managers with the lack of knowledge of the community about the institution itself.
The research assessed the implementation of the target laid down in the Institutional Development Plan (PDI) of the Federal Institute of Brasília (IFB) drawn up for the period 2009 to 2013 and the contributions listed by the managers of the Federal Network of Professional Education, Science and Technology (Federal Network), about the bottlenecks found in the implementation of the PDI in their institutions. The analysis of the accomplishment of the targets was completed through the confrontation of information contained in the PDI 2009/2013, in Institutional Planning and management reports of the IFB. First, it was listed the targets set in the PDI. Then, it was verified that the targets were in Institutional Planning. Finally, measured in management reports if each target has been accomplished. The PDI bottlenecks were identified through the Federal Networks manager's perception. It was sending for e-mail, electronic form with semi structured questionnaire. For data analysis, we used the technique of Content Analysis involving the pre-analysis, exploration of the material and inference and interpretation of results. In General, the implementation of the PDI was considered satisfactory, given 72% of the targets. However, it was noted that, in the same period, new targets emerged overestimating in four times the initial planning. The result of the Analysis of Content presented relevant information as regards bottlenecks found in implementation of the PDI in their Federal Institutes, being predominant contributions related to political and institutional aspects, in particular the concern of managers with the unfamiliarity of the community than is the institution. In this way, the evaluation of the implementation of planning the IFB, as well as the presentation of the bottleneck identified by managers, will serve as a tool for formulating feasible strategic planning, focusing on the possibilities and respecting the peculiarities that exist in Federal Institutes.
