Abstract

CARVALHO, Cynthia Paes de; OLIVEIRA, Ana Cristina Prado de  and  LIMA, Maria de Fátima Magalhães de. External evaluation: tensions and challenges for educational management. Est. Aval. Educ. [online]. 2014, vol.25, n.59, pp.50-76. ISSN 0103-6831.  https://doi.org/10.1822/255920142856.

In the context of evaluation and accountability policies in the public municipal school network in Rio de Janeiro, this article deals with three studies based on observations and interviews conducted in one public school in the network and exploratory inroads about the data from the contextual questionnaires of the directors of the 2007, 2009 and 2011 Prova Brasil. The increasing challenges and tensions present in the agenda of school management are discussed, highlighting the bureaucratic work overload in a context of the precarious conditions of administration, of a tense mediation of the policies together with the school agents and, also, the trends of changes in school management. It concludes by highlighting the importance of the consolidation of thinking about research, and the preparation of school management in the face of the new political and pedagogical changes, without losing sight of their administrative and politico-legal limitations.
