Avaliações educacionais no ensino médio: percepções e possibilidades na Escola Estadual Juvêncio Martins Ferreira

Abstract

This dissertation was conducted within the scope of the Programa de Pós-Graduação Profissional em Gestão e Avaliação da Educação Pública and investigates the low performance in SIMAVE/PROEB assessments in high school, focusing specifically on Escola Estadual Juvêncio Martins Ferreira, located in Unaí, Minas Gerais. The research is guided by the following question: What are the perceptions of students and teachers regarding the factors contributing to EEJMF’s low performance in Proeb assessments, especially in the 3rd year of high school, and how can this reality be transformed? Using a qualitative approach, we began with a literature review, focusing on the research of Costa (2021), Couto (2013), Ferreira (2019), Freitas (2019), Gatti (2011), and Gusmão (2023). Additionally, the school's results in external evaluations were analyzed to identify the main factors contributing to this belowexpected performance. Data were collected through document analysis and questionnaires with school administrators, teachers, and students. The general objective of the research is to investigate the reasons behind students' low performance to understand the perceptions of students, teachers, and the school community regarding assessment practices. The specific objectives aim to identify and describe the main issues contributing to students' poor performance in SIMAVE/Proeb tests; analyze the internal and external factors that directly impact school results; and propose concrete and practical actions to improve academic performance. The results reveal challenges related to educational management, school infrastructure, teacher training, and pedagogical practices, providing a broad understanding of the community’s expectations regarding education. Based on these findings, effective educational interventions are suggested to strengthen educational quality.
