BIRMAN, Eliane  and  LOPES, Isa Cristina da Rocha. Multicurso matemática: avaliação e aprimoramento. Est. Aval. Educ. [online]. 2013, vol.24, n.54, pp.276-303. ISSN 0103-6831.

Studies involving learning have incorporated some measures related to educational programs, school management and teacher training. The establishment of partnerships between public administrators and non-governmental institutions has been fruitful, giving rise to programs like the Multicurso Matemática of the Roberto Marinho Foundation. To assess the programs’ contribution, an external company was appointed to evaluate the results. The assessment had three stages: initial diagnosis, process and outcome. The analysis was based on observations of the agents involved, as well as contextual questionnaires, assessing student proficiency in mathematics. The level of proficiency was estimated using the Parametric Item Response Theory, harmonizing scales with the Basic Education Assessment System. Results showed an improvement in the proficiency averages, changes in teachers’ methodological perspectives and planning dynamics and reflections on teaching practices.

Keywords : Teacher Training; Learning Evaluation; Continuing Education; Program Assessment.
