ROCHA, Paula Del Ponte  and  FERREIRA, Maira. Large-scale assessment and quality indicatives in education: how to process this relationship?. Rev. Educ. Questão [online]. 2017, vol.55, n.43, pp.139-161. ISSN 1981-1802.  https://doi.org/10.21680/1981-1802.2017v55n43ID11809.

In this article, we discuss evaluations in large scale in Brazil and discourses that associate their results with the quality in education, as well as analyze the role of the media in this "indicative". We look especially at the ENADE (in Portuguese, Exame Nacional de Desempenho dos Estudantes) and ENEM (in Portuguese, Exame Nacional do Ensino Médio), their purpose and effects to educational organizations. So, we analyzed chemistry curricula of four public high schools and in a Chemistry Teaching degree from Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul. We analyzed, as well, media productions: media materials, advertising and commercial ads that report and comment about evaluation process and its results, seeking to see how they process the speeches that associate the results of large-scale assessments with quality in education. The work shows the dimension of these evaluations today, defining curricula, producing meanings in discourses that classify institutions and the subjects that are inserted in them and instituting positions in rankings, without qualitatively considering aspects and factors that influence the obtained quantitative results.

Keywords : Curriculum; National examinations; Medias and discourse.
