Abstract

CERDEIRA, DIANA GOMES DA SILVA. Factors associated with the use of external evaluation results in the context of educational accountability policies. Revista Brasileira de Política e Administração da Educação [online]. 2018, vol.34, n.2, pp.613-634. ISSN 2447-4193.  https://doi.org/10.21573/vol34n22018.76015.

The dissemination of external evaluations and accountability mechanisms are part of a political agenda, which includes a new results-based public management. Thus, there is an increasing demand for the use of evaluation results, both for the management of educational systems and for schools. From the review of national and international literature, we map the uses that have been made and categorize two types: superficial and pedagogical. We also relate factors that may favor each type of use and possible consequences for school practices and student learning.

Keywords : external evaluation; data use; educational policy; accountability; school administration.
