Abstract

HORTA NETO, João Luiz. Educational evaluation and its consequences in federal actions and the electronic media. Est. Aval. Educ. [online]. 2014, vol.25, n.59, pp.172-201. ISSN 0103-6831.  https://doi.org/10.1822/255920142770.

The purpose of this study is to discuss the uses of the results of Brazilian educational evaluations for some actions developed by the Plano de Desenvolvimento da Escola, their possible consequences in the work of schools and how the electronic written media has been approaching this topic. The right to learning and the process of accountability, axes of governmental actions in recent years, are discussed. Next, the development of the tests given to elementary school students between 1990 and 2012, identifying their instruments and principal results, are analyzed. Due to the current importance of the tests as an indicator of educational quality, how electronic communications media treat this quality is also investigated. It is concluded that the tests have been used, basically, as an instrument to define school performance, with undesirable consequences for the work that they and their professionals are doing, such that the focus of the actions has been to seek to improve the performance on the tests.
