Influência da complexidade da gestão escolar no desempenho em língua portuguesa de estudantes da 1ª série do ensino médio das escolas estaduais do Amazonas

Abstract

School effectiveness is an area of educational research that aims to identify intra- or extra-school factors that may influence students' educational performance. The studies developed in this area have shown promising results that contribute to the improvement of public educational policies, since it allows direct action on the most relevant variables of the school's pedagogical and / or administrative processes. In this context, the present work proposes to investigate the influence of the Level of Complexity of School Management indicator on the performance in Portuguese Language of the 1st grade of high school in the state schools of Amazonas, measured by the Educational Performance Assessment System of Amazonas - SADEAM. This indicator is calculated by the National Institute of Educational Studies and Research (Inep) and takes into account the variability of stages and shifts in the composition of the school's enrollment. Analysis of the data considered in the survey revealed that these factors did not significantly reduce the overall average proficiency of schools that have high levels of management complexity. In addition, it was noted that schools located in the rural area started to have higher levels of proficiency as the level of management complexity increased. One of the probable justifications is the fact that more complex schools (which offer elementary and high school education) can intervene at any stage of the student's school path, allowing the formulation of more efficient pedagogical strategies for the recovery of learning, which explains, to a large extent , good performance results from these schools. In this way, the inferences obtained by the analysis of the results are opposed to the various literature that deal with school effectiveness and, therefore, there was a need for more in-depth research that can corroborate or refute them.
