BARRETTO, Elba Siqueira de Sá  and  NOVAES, Gláucia T. Franco. Institutional evaluation in basic education: retrospective and inquiries. Est. Aval. Educ. [online]. 2016, vol.27, n.65, pp.314-345. ISSN 1984-932X.  https://doi.org/10.18222/eae.v27i65.3839.

Without attempting a thorough examination, this text makes a retrospective about the uses of institutional evaluation in basic education in Brazil, since the mid-1990s. We noticed that evaluation initiatives are not only in elementary and secondary schools, whether in singulars schools or public systems, but also in early childhood education. In recent years, these last ones have been the object of action of the Ministry of Education and of collaborating bodies aiming to spread this practice on a national scale. The study finds a large convergence in the theoretical-methodological references adopted for the institutional evaluation of the school, invariably committed to the perspective of improving the quality of education as well as in the proceedings for its implementation. It also addresses common issues, raised by their application.

Keywords : Institutional Evaluation; Basic Education; Educational Quality; Brazil.
