Abstract

SCORZAFAVE, LUIZ GUILHERME; FARIA, ERNESTO MARTINS  and  ALVES, BRUNA. WHAT DIFFERENTIATES SCHOOLS WITH GOOD PERFORMANCE IN THE FINAL YEARS OF ELEMENTARY EDUCATION?. Est. Aval. Educ. [online]. 2020, vol.31, n.78, pp.577-599.  Epub June 09, 2021. ISSN 1984-932X.  https://doi.org/10.18222/eae.v0ix.6931.

The article identifies schools in the final years of elementary education in Brazil, with good academic results, and that serve students from low socioeconomic levels. 329 schools were identified that met the proposed criteria (based on proficiency and dropouts) in 2015. Factors associated with the better performance of these schools were investigated through the analysis of differences-in-differences. The results show that they have lower rates of violence, more teachers belief in the students’ future potential, better discipline, more students doing homework, more correction of these tasks and less student absenteeism. There were no differences of salary, training and experience of teachers and principals between the schools that stood out and the others.

Keywords : EVALUATION OF EDUCATION; QUALITY OF EDUCATION; FINAL YEARS OF ELEMENTARY EDUCATION; EQUITY IN EDUCATION.
