Apropriação dos resultados das avaliações do SIMAVE/PROEB na Escola Estadual Santo Antônio de Salinas

Abstract

This dissertation was written as part of a Professional Master's Degree in Education Management and Evaluation for the Center for Public Policy and Education Evaluation at the Federal University of Juiz de Fora (Caed /UFJF). The research investigated the way in which the state run elementary school Santo Antonio de Salinas (fictitious name used to preserve the identity of the institution) located in Salinas, Minas Gerais, has appropriated the results of the external evaluations conducted by Public Basic Education Network Evaluation Program (Proeb- which belongs to the Minas Gerais Public Education Assessment and Equity System (Simave). This study is justified as we recognize the importance of external evaluations serving as a potential tool for school management and the need for this tool to realize its own potential. The general objective was to investigate how the aforementioned school appropriates the results of external evaluations and correlates the data with the administration of its pedagogical practices. The specific objectives were: to analyze the context of large-scale external evaluations at the national and state levels, focusing on the process of the appropriation of results; to analyze how the administrative and pedagogical teams of Escola Santo Antônio de Salinas have overseen the appropriation of the results of the external evaluations of Simave/Proeb and to investigate the link between this process and the institution's pedagogical practices. We hypothesized that there would be a need to improve the pedagogical management in order to use the results of the external evaluations more effectively. Our methodology employed qualitative research as well as a questionnaire and a collective interview for the collection of data. Although Santo Antonio de Salinas elementary school does exercise certain measures aimed at appropriating the results of external evaluations, the concepts involved and the communication between school departments within those practices need to be improved. Therefore, we propose the installation of an Educational Action Plan (PAE), aimed at implementing a new method of appropriating the results of the external evaluations conducted by Simave/Proeb in the aforementioned school, with a focus on the training of professionals, improvement of the management of pedagogical practices and the prioritization of collective work.
