ROSISTOLATO, Rodrigo; PRADO, Ana Pires do  and  FERNANDEZ, Silvina Julia. Expectation, strategies and "jeitinhos": large-scale assessments in Rio de Janeiro. Est. Aval. Educ. [online]. 2014, vol.25, n.59, pp.78-107. ISSN 0103-6831.  https://doi.org/10.1822/255920142853.

The objective of this article is to describe and analyze views of managers of the municipal network of Rio de Janeiro regarding the large-scale evaluations and their consequences in school daily life. The data were divided into four groups, two with directors and two with central and mid-level management professionals in the Municipal Department of Education. We will demonstrate that, despite external evaluations still being extraordinary events in school daily life, there is a tendency to use their resulting data as guidelines for management practices, even with technical lack of knowledge about the evaluations. It was possible to notice a "domino effect". This involves a set of successive demands on agents, according to their position in the management hierarchy, which induces strategies to improve institutional performance, as well as "jeitinhos" and stratagems guided by the expectation of increasing the indices of the schools.

Keywords : Evaluation of Instructional Systems; School Daily Life; Management Practices; Rio de Janeiro..
