Abstract

The present dissertation is developed under the Professional Master in Management and Evaluation of Education (PPGP) of the Center for Public Policies and Education Evaluation of the Federal University of Juiz de Fora (CAEd / UFJF). The management case to be studied has the general objective to identify possible factors that may be influencing our results from external evaluations and also propose actions to combat such factors. We assume as hypotheses that the socioeconomic characteristics of the students, the difficulty of appropriating the results in the external evaluations, the low participation of the parents in the children's school life as well as the lack of a project aimed at recovering the abilities not yet consolidated by the students, who in the low performance pattern may be contributing directly or indirectly to the results obtained by the school. The aim is to identify the possible causes of the low performance of students in Mathematics and Portuguese Language, based on the analysis of the data collected in the field, starting from the comparative diagnosis between the results of the school and the results obtained by the State and Regional Superintendence of Education. To do so, qualitative research was used as a methodology, having as a data collection instrument semi-structured interviews with the director of the school and with the pedagogical supervisor who accompanies the elementary school and the application of questionnaires to teachers who work in the 9th year of teaching fundamental. In the light of the theoretical reference (ALARCÃO, 2001, LUCK, 2009, SOARES, 2002, among others), as well as through the data obtained through the field research instruments used. Analyzes were made that allowed the identification of factors that influence the results of the external evaluations, in the case of the researched school. Based on the main results listed, it was possible to propose a set of actions described in the Educational Action Plan (PAE), aimed at improving the performance of the students of that school.
