SILVA, Wellington  e  SOARES, Tufi Machado. Eficácia dos processos de linkagem na avaliação educacional em larga escala. Est. Aval. Educ. [online]. 2010, vol.21, n.45, pp.191-211. ISSN 0103-6831.

In 1997, the proficiency scale for Brazil was defined through the National System of Basic Education Evaluation (Saeb).  From that time on, almost all the assessments carried out by several Brazilian states have tried to keep results comparable with this scale through Item Response Theory Methodology (IRT). However, a variety of situations is observed when different assessments in Brazilian states or even at Saeb are analyzed. In this article, some technical aspects needed to ensure comparability in the assessment of linking procedures are presented, as well as the characteristics of Saeb's assessment and some Brazilian states' assessment throughout time.

Palavras-chave : Item Response Theory (IRT); Education Assessment; Assessment Scale; Assessment Methods.
