FRITSCH, ROSANGELA and VITELLI, RICARDO FERREIRA. PATHS TAKEN IN THREE DECADES OF LARGE-SCALE ASSESSMENT IN BRAZIL. Est. Aval. Educ. [online]. 2021, vol.32, e07792. Epub Dec 11, 2021. ISSN 1984-932X. https://doi.org/10.18222/eae.v32.7792.
This article aims to account for the paths taken in knowledge production since the implementation of large-scale assessment policies three decades ago. A bibliographic review was carried out in indexed journals on SciELO and Capes Periodical Portal using the descriptor “large-scale assessment”. The 98 articles published between 1990 and 2020 found in the review were later submitted to bibliometric and interpretative analysis. Then, the profile and production characteristics were outlined, as well as the synthesis of the results, giving visibility to the objects and focus of interest of the studies. It was found that studies which criticize the large-scale assessment model are predominant and that there is a tendency for investigations oriented to measure the effects and effectiveness of evaluations.
