KARINO, Camila Akemi; VINHA, Luís Gustavo do Amaral  and  LAROS, Jacob Arie. Saeb questionnaries: what do they really measure?. Est. Aval. Educ. [online]. 2014, vol.25, n.59, pp.270-297. ISSN 0103-6831.  https://doi.org/10.1822/255920142948.

The present study investigated the evidence of construct validity of the Saeb questionnaires of 2009. After a process of data treatment and exploratory analysis, further analysis of the responses was carried out. The responses analyzed were from 1,906,616 students in the ninth grade, as well as of 77,905 teachers and 27,292 school directors, in addition to information related to 27,045 schools around Brazil. Factor analysis was used to identify the constructs measured by the questionnaires. The results indicated the existence of four factors in the school questionnaire, six factors in the director questionnaire, six factors in the teacher questionnaire and four factors in student questionnaire. Critical reflection is needed to assess whether the constructs measured by the Saeb questionnaires are those that really matter to school performance.
