Avaliação nacional do rendimento escolar: as implicações da prova brasil nas ações de gestores de escolas municipais de Feira de Santana

Abstract

In Brazil, the decade of 1990 was a relevant period for the constitution of a system of evaluation of basic education in the country. The discussions at this time pointed to the consolidation of evaluation as the main strategy of good management of public power, which sought to act mainly on the crisis of effectiveness of education systems and the low performance of students. From this perspective, the results of the external evaluations gained significant prominence within the education system of Feira de Santana, an interior city of the state of Bahia, object of the present work, which sought to question the implications that the Prova Brazil evaluation has for the actions of managers of municipal public schools in Feira de Santana. From this research, The general objective proposed was to analyze the implications that Prova Brasil has for / in the actions of managers of municipal public schools of Feira de Santana and specifically to identify the conceptions of managers of municipal schools of Feira de Santana about Prova Brasil; analyze the process of conducting Prova Brasil and establish a relationship between Prova Brasil and the management of two municipal schools in Feira de Santana. The theoretical contribution that subsidized this study was based mainly on the studies of Afonso (2009), Coelho (2008), Freitas (2007), Freitas (2014), Fonseca (1997), Horta (2007), Paro et al. (2001, 2016) and Ravitch (2011). The methodology chosen for the development of the research was based on a qualitative approach, using documental analysis techniques and interviews to construct the empirical data. As a result, it was mainly found that in the two contexts surveyed, Prova Brasil is an evaluation in many aspects outside the reality of public municipal schools. The reality detected did not show proportionality between the result of the test and the work aimed at punctuating in the PB, although it verified that the contents of the reference matrices of Prova Brazil contemplated in the work of the schools and this has implied in the achievement of goals and elevation of performance indicators by these schools. It was also detected that, even though it did not direct the focus of the pedagogical work to Prova Brasil, due to the high results achieved by the students and divulged by INEP, the managers of the schools feel satisfied with the positive visibility and credibility acquired by the schools, after disclosure of their results, since they receive recognition from the community around the institutions. The research undertaken here is not conclusive. Other investigations may arise from the contributions of this research, so that more subjects and/or other subjects of the community gain a voice and can add new perspectives on the external evaluation process in the city of Feira de Santana, state of Bahia
