Abstract

QUEIROZ, Patricia Andréa de Araújo. Os gêneros discursivos no Saeb e na Prova Brasil de 2007. Est. Aval. Educ. [online]. 2013, vol.24, n.54, pp.142-169. ISSN 0103-6831.

The aim of this paper is to map the discursive genres that constituted the 5th grade 2007 tests from Saeb and Prova Brasil (Brazilian Test), in order to analyze if the privileged use of some discursive genres over others contributed to the reproduction and the maintenance of asymmetrical power relations. So as to deal with the concepts of discourse genre and critical discourse analysis, the bases that guide this work, we use the reflections by Bakhtin, Marcuschi, Fairclough, Resende and Ramalho and Thompson. To compile and analyze the data, we opted for a qualitative approach, using a documental analysis too. The results showed that the most recurrent genres in the 2007 edition were short stories and cartoons, which belong to the same discursive domain, fiction. Thus, by giving priority to some genres, this evaluation can contribute to maintain and to reproduce hegemonic conceptions, as it legitimates some genres and, consequently, the discourses produced by them.

Keywords : Saeb; Prova Brasil; Discursive Genre; Basic Education Assessment.
