Abstract

This dissertation was developed within the scope of the Professional Master's Degree in Management and Evaluation of Education (PPGP) of the Center for Public Policies and Evaluation of Education of the Federal University of Juiz de Fora (CAEd/UFJF). The research analyzed how the teachers of the Basic Education Unit (UEB) Dra. Maria Alice Coutinho of the municipal basic education network, located in São Luís, capital of Maranhão, understand the external evaluations and appropriate the data provided by them to think about the pedagogical practice in the initial years of elementary school of this school. Faced with these elements, the question that drove this research was the following: What actions can teachers and the pedagogical team of the UEB Dra. Maria Alice Coutinho promote to improve the performance of students from the results provided by external evaluations? The general objective of this study was to analyze and understand how the results of external evaluations can be used as a pedagogical resource to improve learning at UEB Dra. Maria Alice Coutinho. To achieve this objective, the following specific objectives were defined: a) to describe the management practice regarding the dissemination and appropriation of data from UEB's external evaluations. Dra. Maria Alice Coutinho, as well as the indicators of the referred school and the pedagogical actions developed by the teaching staff with the aim of positively impacting curriculum development; b) reflect and analyze how the data from external evaluations have been understood by teachers to rethink pedagogical practices; c) propose actions for a strategy of pedagogical management of the results in order to promote the culture of appropriation of the results. We adopted as methodology the qualitative research whose mapping of the information in the field research was collected through documentary research and semi-structured interviews carried out with teachers and the management team of the school institution. To support the development of this, the study will be based on discussions on the quality of Brazilian education and the pedagogical use of the results of external evaluations for the whole school in order to promote the elevation in the level of performance of students. Thus, with the Educational Action Plan (PAE), we promote the collective debate in the school about the results achieved. The objective is that the results of external evaluations can be used as a support tool for pedagogical classroom management, enabling the articulation of pedagogical practices and educational projects developed at UEB Dra. Maria Alice Coutinho as a strategy for collective integration and development of student learning.
