Abstract

This present case study was developed within the scope of the Professional Master's degree in Management and Evaluation of Public Education (PPGP) of the Public Policies Center and Education Evaluation of the Federal University of Juiz de Fora (CAEd/UFJF). The focus of the investigation is the process of dissemination and appropriation of the results of the external evaluation of the public school Network in the city of São Luís do Maranhão, with the basic question: how to improve the process of pedagogical dissemination and appropriation of the results of the Municipal System of Educational Evaluation of São Luís (SIMAE) in order to enable the planning of actions and public policies to improve performance? The main objective of the research is to investigate and analyze the process of disseminating SIMAE and its results, in order to enable pedagogical appropriation, in addition to other specific objectives: to analyze SIMAE, having as reference the Basic Education Assessment System (SAEB) and the Teresina Educational Assessment System (SAETHE); analyze how the dissemination of results can contribute to a pedagogical appropriation based on the strengths and weaknesses pointed out by the research subjects; and, finally, to propose strategies for the dissemination and pedagogical appropriation of results for Central Administration technicians. For that, the qualitative research had to SIMAE and SAETHE as analysis units. The choice of Teresina was determined by the socioeconomic similarities between the municipalities, by adopting external assessments in technical cooperation with the same assistance entity, and by the fact that Teresina presented results in national educational assessments that were superior to those of São Luís. Thus, the study points out in a comparative way the São Luís and Teresina systems. For that, in addition to documentary and bibliographic readings, interviews were conducted with the actors involved (manager of the Municipal Education Secretariat of São Luís, coordinators of the evaluation and manager training sectors, pedagogical coordinators and teachers) of the respective municipalities, analyzing the characteristics decision-making, coordination, concentration and decentralization of processes, flow, standard and dissemination instruments. Therefore, considering the theoretical framework of analysis and the evidence, an Action Plan with dissemination strategies is proposed for the technicians of the Central Administration of SEMED, which meets the specificities and actions of the different sectors of the secretariat, aiming at improving the process of dissemination and appropriation of SIMAE results, consolidating it as a social and organizational value and a lever for transforming the performance of students in the São Luís public network.
