Abstract

PONTES, Luís Antônio Fajardo  and  SOARES, Tufi Machado. Ideb school goals: an alternative calculation proposal. Est. Aval. Educ. [online]. 2016, vol.27, n.66, pp.690-715. ISSN 1984-932X.  https://doi.org/10.18222/eae.v27i66.3956.

This paper aims is to propose a new methodology to calculaté the Índice de Desenvolvimento da Educação Básica (Ideb) [Basic Education Development Index] targets. The main reason for this is the realization that the Ideb targets, as they have been officially calculatéd, take into account only students' approval data and performance assessed for a single year (2005) and based on data of the Brazilian School Census and the Prova Brasil. Besides that, the official calculation also fails to explicitly include the mean school socioeconomic status, which is nonetheless strongly correlatéd with school performance. Therefore, this paper analyzes a historical series of data of Minas Gerais staté public schools in order to adjust it to a longitudinal hierarchical linear model which calculatés the Ideb targets in a way that is similar, though not exactly the same to the one officially used, and that also takes into account the problems presented in the study.

Keywords : Educational Indicators; Ideb; Longitudinal Hierarchical Linear Models; Educational Evaluation.
