LINDOSO, Rosangela Cely Branco and SANTOS, Ana Lúcia Felix dos. Educational policy and large scale evaluation as an element of education regulation. J. Pol. Educ-s [online]. 2019, vol.13, e61241. Epub July 18, 2022. ISSN 1981-1969. https://doi.org/10.5380/jpe.v13i0.61241.
This text seeks to discuss educational policy and regulating education ways, through large-scale evaluation processes, taking as reference the mediation process that demarcates the socio-political context. The discussion is developed as follows: first, the concept of regulation is discussed; then becomes clear how regulation and intervention in education policies in different contexts is carried out; this process is discussed after the introduction of large-scale evaluation as an element of education regulation in Brazil. The findings reveal that large-scale evaluation has been used as an educational regulatory device, whose concern is focused on the control of results and not on processes.
