GIMENES, Nelson et al. Além da Prova Brasil: investimento em sistemas próprios de avaliação externa. Est. Aval. Educ. [online]. 2013, vol.24, n.55, pp.12-32. ISSN 0103-6831.

This study analyzes the goals and justifications of four Departments of Education for investing in their own large scale assessment systems instead of using national assessments which are already available, mainly the Prova Brazil, as an essential instrument of their educational policy. The focus is on external evaluations that avail themselves of the same models adopted by national assessments amid distinctive contours and designs depending on the type of organization and policy inherent to the different school systems investigated. Noteworthy are the demands that are imposed on these assessments, especially in what they can contain as a pedagogical subsidy directly linked to the school work.

Palabras clave : Large Scale Assessment; External Assessment; Educational Policy.
