Eficácia escolar das escolas da rede federal de educação profissional: análise dos fatores intra e extraescolares associados ao desempenho dos estudantes e fluxo escolar

Abstract

The thesis aimed to investigate and analyze the intra and extra school factors that influence the performance of high school students in Brazilian schools, in a differential way according to the type of educational network, with a focus on federal schools of professional education, based on the concepts of effectiveness school and application to educational data available by SAEB. The methodological approach used in the analysis of educational data in question was uni and multivariate hierarchical modeling, it is a contribution to the research field of school effectiveness, since the multivariate hierarchical approach with data from Brazilian schools is still incipient, although it has the advantage of avoiding the estimation of biased results, and the minimization of the error variance due to the incorporation of the correlation between the response variables in the parameter estimation process, circumstances that can usually occur in univariate models. The construction of the educational measures to be used in the hierarchical modeling were carried out from the Item Response Theory (TRI) approach, through models of graduated responses from Samejima. The results showed that the federal schools of professional education were those that showed the best performance in the subjects assessed in the SAEB, and student and school level factors impact in the student’s learning. The results of the IDEB indexes from public and private schools were also descriptively addressed, noting that despite the federal professional education schools having presented the highest averages among the schools in SAEB evaluations, the average IDEB index from this school segment was lower than of private schools. Therefore, from this contradiction, it was approached a school flow indicators and a discussion about the methodological foundation of Ideb.
