OLIVEIRA, Dalila Andrade; PEREIRA JUNIOR, Edmilson Antonio  e  HORTA NETO, João Luiz. QUALITY OF BASIC EDUCATION: BEYOND LARGE-SCALE COGNITIVE TESTS. Cad. Pesqui. [online]. 2025, vol.55, e11295.  Epub 26-Abr-2025. ISSN 1980-5314.  https://doi.org/10.1590/1980531411295.

This article analyzes the evaluation of the quality of basic education in Brazil, questioning the overemphasis on cognitive test results as the primary indicator of educational excellence. A more comprehensive interpretative model is proposed, grounded in the seven axes of the Quality Matrix of the Sistema de Avaliação da Educação Básica [Basic Education Assessment System] (Saeb), which encompasses multiple dimensions of education. In addition, the limitations of Saeb are outlined, and the adverse effects of large-scale assessments are discussed, highlighting the need for a broader perspective on the dimensions that should constitute educational quality. The article concludes that an evaluation model that goes beyond cognitive tests is essential for a more comprehensive understanding of the quality of education.
