Apropriação dos resultados das avaliações educacionais: estratégias para a melhoria da utilização dos resultados do SAEP nas redes municipais do Paraná

Abstract

This research investigates how municipal education systems in the state of Paraná appropriate and pedagogically use the results of external assessments conducted by the Paraná Basic Education Assessment System (SAEP). Large scale assessments, such as Prova Paraná Mais, generate information on student performance and provide evidence for educational policymaking, pedagogical planning, and the monitoring of learning outcomes. In this context, the Paraná State Department of Education (SEED) makes assessment results available to public education systems in order to expand opportunities for data analysis. However, access to information alone does not ensure its effective use. A major challenge is helping education systems and schools interpret, contextualize, and incorporate assessment data into planning and decision making processes that contribute to student learning and educational equity. Considering SEED’s role in coordinating state assessments and supporting cooperation with municipalities, this study seeks to answer the following research question: What actions can SEED develop to support municipal education systems in the appropriation and pedagogical use of large scale assessment results? To address this question, the study examines challenges faced by municipal education teams, including the need for specialized training, the lack of systematic strategies for data analysis, and difficulties in integrating assessment results into pedagogical planning. The main objective is to understand how municipal education systems appropriate SAEP results and to propose strategies that strengthen this process. Adopting a qualitative approach, the research employs document analysis, semi structured interviews, and questionnaires with managers from Municipal Departments of Education, pedagogical advisors from Regional Education Centers, and professionals from SEED’s Center for Pedagogical Cooperation with Municipalities. As an outcome, an Educational Action Plan (EAP) will be developed to strengthen the pedagogical use of external assessment results through professional development initiatives, institutional mediation, and educational practices informed by data.
