ALMEIDA, Ivanete Bellucci Pires de  and  BENEDETTI, Francisco Carlos. Métricas de desempenho de escolas de ensino fundamental cicladas e não cicladas. Est. Aval. Educ. [online]. 2012, vol.23, n.52, pp.68-84. ISSN 0103-6831.

The study that gave rise to this article measured the effectiveness of cycled and non-cycled public elementary schools located in Campinas, Belo Horizonte and Rio de Janeiro. We are not concerned with specific concepts involved in the evaluation process of reading and mathematics, but we focus on the quantitative performance in these disciplines by many students of the abovementioned cities, and analyzed them by schools. Variables were built to help understand the influence of the teacher’s pedagogical practice in relation to the type of school (cycled and non-cycled). Simultaneously, we were interested in establishing the association between this pedagogical practice and other variables, for instance: (a) average proficiency variables of students in reading and in mathematics, with data collected at two different moments in their educational lives, the 1st and 3rd grades; (b) the socioeconomic level variable, the data of which were collected in a survey with the parents. The associations between these variables helped us in the evaluation of the schools’ efficiency.
