O processo de apropriação dos resultados do Sistema Municipal de Avaliação Educacional de São Luís por meio das percepções dos gestores escolares

Abstract

This study analyzes the possible influences of the performance of school managers in the process of appropriation of the results of the Municipal System of Educational Evaluation of São Luís (Simae) in Elementary Schools of the Municipal Education Network of São Luís. Simae is part of the Education Policy “Educate More: Together in the Right to Learn”, a macro-policy instituted by the Municipal Education Department (Semed) of São Luís/MA which covers, among other aspects, educational assessment. Thus, we base ourselves on studies in academic literature on municipal systems for evaluating Basic Education and the role that school managers play in the organizational structure of educational networks. Our main objective is to analyze the process of appropriating the results of Simae in schools from the perception of managers in the process of sensitization and mobilization of school teams and in the creation of an evaluation culture in the schools in which they work. The research methodology was structured from bibliographic research, document analysis and empirical analysis with application of questionnaires to school managers in the municipal network. The analyzes indicated that, even though training actions were carried out aimed at disseminating the results of Simae to schools, the absence of a system for monitoring and systemic monitoring by the Education Network was identified, which can compromise the improvement of school work and the elevation of the Network's educational indicators. In this way, we created an Educational Action Plan that proposes the implementation of the School Work Improvement Program (Promete), which aims to continuously improve the performance of schools through the implementation of a systematized work with educational data and indicators, especially in relation to to Simae. Therefore, studies on Simae, as a pioneering external assessment system in the state of Maranhão, aim to contribute to the debate on municipal assessment systems in Brazil, as initiatives at the municipal level are still under development in the country.
