STANICH, Karina Alves Biasoli  and  SOUSA, Clarilza Prado de. Unfolding the reports of evaluations on a large scale. Est. Aval. Educ. [online]. 2016, vol.27, n.64, pp.188-216. ISSN 1984-932X.  https://doi.org/10.18222/eae.v27i64.3439.

Based on reports conducted over a six-year period of evaluations on a large scale, carried out by a private educational system, students' performance in Geometry as well as the way teachers identified and represented their difficulties were analyzed. Twenty-four fifth grade teachers, from 18 schools in the state of São Paulo, were interviewed. The study was developed based on the Theory of Social Representations of the van Hiele model and the evaluation criteria proposed the Programme for International Student Assessment of 2003 and 2012. The results showed a representation of the impossibility of fifth grade students to learn, resulting in the displacement of the aim of instruction which, reduced to its practical application and the immediate context of the student, did not support the development of skills to represent and theoretically deal with everyday life.

Keywords : Large Scale Evaluation; Social Representations; Teaching; Geometry.
