SOARES, Tufi Machado; GENOVEZ, Silene Felizardo De Menezes and GALVAO, Ailton Fonseca. Análise do Comportamento Diferencial dos Itens de Geografia: estudo da 4a série avaliada no Proeb/Simave 2001. Est. Aval. Educ. [online]. 2005, vol.16, n.32, pp.81-110. ISSN 0103-6831.
This article presents a differential (DIF) analysis for geography items in Proeb-2001. The groups in the analysis are composed of 4th grade students of different geographic regions in the state of Minas Gerais. The results suggest that the items associated with environmental issues are easier for students from the Belo Horizonte metropolitan area while items which compare urban and rural spaces are easier for students from the inland.
