FIGUEIREDO, Dalson; CARMO, Erinaldo; MAIA, Romero  and  SILVA, Lucas. Horses also fall: treaty of IDEB’s inconsistencies. Ensaio: aval. pol. públ. educ. [online]. 2018, vol.26, n.100, pp.552-572. ISSN 1809-4465.  https://doi.org/10.1590/S0104-403620180026001178.

This article analyzes the inconsistencies of the results of the IDEB 2015 related to public education. Methodologically, we use descriptive and multivariate statistics. The findings indicate that: 1) high pass rate artificially inflates the IDEB’s magnitude; 2) there is no correspondence between the performance of the IDEB at different levels of education; 3) there is no correlation between the position in the IDEB and in the ENEM; Together, these methodological limitations compromise the validity of the published inference and justify the existence of doubts about the assessment model adopted by INEP.

Keywords : Evaluation; Basic education; Public education; IDEB.
