Apropriação dos resultados da avaliação externa para a melhoria dos índices de proficiência de duas escolas da rede pública estadual do Amazonas

Abstract

This paper aims to analyze how school managers, pedagogues and teachers from two state schools in the city of Manaus, use the results of Sadeam in their pedagogical practices. Studying the appropriation of the results of the Amazon Educational System Performance Assessment (SADEAM) by school personnel is considered relevant by the need to better comprehend how the results of external evaluations are being used. Furthermore, there is the possibility, from that point, to rethink the pedagogical practice in our schools and possibly improve students’ performance in those contents that have been flagged as a gap in the results obtained. It is important that external evaluations, through the educational results can be used as a tool both by the Education Secretariat, in the definition of public policies, as well as by school personnel, aiming the improvement of their pedagogical practice and therefore, raising the quality of education. Through a qualitative research there were used as research tools, semistructured interviews with managers and pedagogues and, the realization of the focus group technique with the Portuguese Language and Mathematics teachers, crowded in classes from 6th to 9th grade, from the two institutions surveyed. The theoretical framework is supported by renowned authors in the field of study of the external evaluations, as Souza and Bonamino (2012), Vianna (2009), Machado (2012), Silva (2011), Brooke and Cunha (2011), Souza (2010 ) and Soares (2013). There were used as documentary sources the official website of the Education Secretariat and Amazon State Teaching Quality, the website of the National Institute of Studies and Research Anísio Teixeira and SADEAM website.The research conducted in two public schools in Amazon state educational system reveals the need of the results appropriation of external evaluations by school personnel, so that the collective work involving these results, can be used as a foundation in the search of the learning improvement and students’ performance. At the end it is proposed an Educational Action Plan, based on the observation of the reality of the professionals from the surveyed schools, which is the creation of SISPAR - Permanent System Results Appropriation under the Assessment and Performance Management, aiming to promote the training of school personnel, planning and monitoring the activities related to the treatment of external evaluations and results in the school setting.
