MACHADO, Cristiane. External evaluation and public schools: elements of democratic school management. Est. Aval. Educ. [online]. 2016, vol.27, n.64, pp.218-240. ISSN 1984-932X.  https://doi.org/10.18222/eae.v27i64.3485.

The Prova Brasil, in addition to assess student performance by means of standardized tests, collects data to enable studies of factors associated with student performance using contextual questionnaires. The aim of this article is to explore elements of democratic school management in the responses of directors from the public schools in Guarulhos (SP) in the questionnaire from the 2011 Prova Brasil. There were responses to 227 questionnaires, with 212 multiple-choice questions, from 165 directors of state schools and 62 directors of city schools. The concepts of participation, autonomy and access and permanence were compared to the responses of the directors to questions approaching these themes. The information obtained and analyzed made it possible to understand the forms and contours of democratic management practices or, in some cases, lack thereof, in the daily life of the state and city schools studied.
