Abstract

This paper aims to propose a general educational intervention plan to improve the high schools results in the surveyed schools. The specific objectives of this dissertation are to give an overview of high schools in the state of Minas Gerais, to analyze the quality of education in schools under analysis, and to understand and assess the outcomes of the Assessment Program of the Public Basic Education (PROEB) and how they are appropriated by principals and teachers. We conducted our research in two schools, named in this study as A and B, taking into account that PROEB 2011 results show that school B has the lowest averages in Portuguese and in Mathematics among all schools in Coronel Fabriciano, and the school A has average levels of proficiency similar to the state schools and the ones affiliated with the Regional Superintendent of Education (SRE). Those schools have the same amount of students enrolled in the high school level, which is the school level is which we focused our work. The data utilized in this study comes from on external assessment, which was collected at the CAEd/UFJF website, and also from direct schools through primary data and interviews. Considering the school’s performance, as an analyst educational SRE, is to understand the position of school principals regarding the external assessment results, and to analyze what has been done by checking if the data from PROEB has been utilized in the each school’s pedagogical project and suggest actions, strategies and interventions which may help principals raise the performance of high school students.
